This paper introduces a Malmquist CO2 emission performance index (MCPI) for measuring changes in total factor carbon emission performance over time. The MCPI is derived by solving several data envelopment analysis models. Bootstrapping MCPI is proposed to perform statistical inferences on the MCPI results. Using the index the emission performance of the world's 18 top CO2 emitters from 1997 …
The objective of this study is to estimate the atmospheric emissions by international merchant shipping of carbondioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) during 1 year in the Belgian part of the North Sea, including the four Belgian seaports: Antwerp, Ghent, Ostend and Zeebrugge. The estimated emissions are based on a bottom-up, activity-based methodology (Group 1), coveri…
The study uses the carbon dioxide emission calculation model published by IPCC to measure carbon dioxide emissions and fuel inputs of the three types of multimodal transport (road-sea, railway-sea, and river-sea) in ports of China. Then, we make a case study on Shanghai port. Combined with carbon taxes launched around 2012 in China, this paper calculates the carbon taxes on the three types of m…
