Abstract
The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas are important areas for my country’s economic development. Its logistics industry is showing a trend of great development, but economic development has also caused considerable pressure on the environment. The paper uses the energy coefficient method to estimate the carbon emissions of the logistics industry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai from 2003 to 2016, and quantitatively analyzes the five factors of energy structure, energy efficiency, industrial structure, economic growth and population. The research results show that the energy structure factors and industrial structure factors in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions have a restraining effect on the increase in carbon emissions of the logistics industry, while energy efficiency factors, demographic factors and economic growth factors have an effect on the carbon emissions of the logistics industry. The increase in emissions has a boosting effect. Finally, from the aspects of improving energy efficiency, energy structure, industrial structure, etc., it puts forward specific suggestions and countermeasures for the development of green logistics in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
Highlights
According to the "China Tertiary Industry Statistical Yearbook 2007", the logistics industry belongs to the tertiary industry, which includes transportation logistics, warehousing logistics, trade logistics, circulation processing and packaging logistics, and postal logistics
This article refers to the research of Ning(2015),that converts CO2 emissions based on the energy consumption of transportation and warehousing involved in logistics operations
In the formula: i is the type of energy, C is the total carbon emission, C is the carbon emission of the i-th energy,δ is the carbon emission coefficient of the i-th energy consumed in the various production processes of the logistics industry, and θ is the i-th Standard coal conversion factor for energy, E is the consumption of the i-th energy
Summary
According to the "China Tertiary Industry Statistical Yearbook 2007", the logistics industry belongs to the tertiary industry, which includes transportation logistics, warehousing logistics, trade logistics, circulation processing and packaging logistics, and postal logistics. It provides a basis for the estimation of the total carbon emissions of the logistics industry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai and the decomposition of influencing factors
