Abstract


Transportation is a critical area for China to achieve its goal of carbon neutrality. A successful national climate plan and the overall development of a strong transportation nation are tied to achieving the carbon peak and carbon neutrality in transportation. This study first sorts out the statistical boundaries and methods of carbon emissions. Secondly, it introduces the measurement methods of carbon emissions in the transportation industry, including the emission factor method and the full life cycle method. Thirdly, the research on influencing factors of carbon emissions in the transportation industry is reviewed from four aspects: economy, transportation industry itself, technology, and others, and relevant research on carbon emission prediction methods in the transportation industry is summarized. Finally, the limitations of existing research are analyzed, and future research on carbon emissions statistics and measurement in the transportation industry is prospected.
