Abstract

In 2015, the Chinese government committed to reducing all greenhouse gas emissions, to reach the peak of carbon dioxide before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Transport accounts for a large share of global greenhouse gas emissions, so greener and low-carbon transport is an important part of achieving the two-carbon goal. Although many researches have examined carbon emissions from the transport sector, few have analyzed the potential for carbon reduction from the perspective of optimizing the transport structure. Based on the analysis and prediction of the logistics system of goods transportation in Zhejiang Province, the potential of changing the mode of transport from road to waterway for CO2 emission reduction is further analyzed. The results show that the implementation of a "mode change of transport from road to waterway" can better reduce the carbon emissions in the field of transportation, to provide a theoretical basis for the energy conservation and emission reduction targets in the field of transportation in Zhejiang Province.
