Abstract

About 23 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the transportation sector. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development freight transport-related demand in 2050 is expected to triple compared to the values recorded in 2019. In order to comply with regulations that aim to meet precise targets in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to objectively measure the impact of transportation activities with the aim of mitigating emissions. To do this, it is mandatory to have accurate and user-friendly calculation tools. The purpose of this paper is to compare the most widely used tools to assess CO₂e transport emissions in transportation, also comparing them to the GLEC methodology, which is compliant with ISO regulations universally recognized as the most appropriate procedure. 3 case studies related to intermodal transport scenarios are assessed and compared using the considered tools. Based on the analyses performed, this research finally proposes some recommendations for reliable calculation of CO₂e emissions, in compliance with ISO 14083.

如何计算货物运输中的温室气体排放量？回顾现有的主要在线工具

全球约23%的温室气体排放是由交通部门造成的。根据经济合作与发展组织（oecd）的数据，预计2050年与货运相关的需求将是2019年的三倍。为了遵守旨在达到减少温室气体排放方面的精确目标的法规，有必要客观地衡量以减轻排放为目的的运输活动的影响。要做到这一点，必须有准确和用户友好的计算工具。本文的目的是比较最广泛使用的工具来评估交通运输中的二氧化碳排放量，并将它们与GLEC方法进行比较，GLEC方法符合ISO法规，被普遍认为是最合适的程序。使用所考虑的工具评估和比较与多式联运方案相关的3个案例研究。基于所进行的分析，本研究最终提出了一些符合ISO 14083的可靠计算二氧化碳排放量的建议。
