Supporting and evaluation systems of low carbon transport: Study on theory and practice

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Climate change is an extremely serious international problem, which is concerned by all the communities in the world. As a major sector of energy consumption and the main source of carbon emissions, it is necessary for the Chinese transportation sector to take on a low carbon development path in order to alleviate the energy consumption and environment pollution and take a positive role in these fields. Under such environment, the supporting and evaluation systems of low carbon transport from four aspects, namely, the efficiency, industry, innovation, guide and society, of low carbon are established in this study. An empirical example from Changsha City, Hunan Province in China is provided as numerical example.
