摘要：

The CO2 emissions from railway transport chain would be underestimated if the emissions from the activity of loading and unloading, pre-/post-haulage of containers, distribution of empty containers, and the life cycle of fuel are neglected. Focusing on the inland transport of international containers, we investigate the CO2 emissions from railway transport chain (RTC, from loading empty container on truck to full container unloaded at seaport terminal) based on the perspective of transport chain and the idea of fuel life cycle. According to the ASIF (Activity-Structure-Fuel Intensity-Emission Factor) equation, a mathematical model is proposed to estimate the CO2 emissions from RTC of the inland leg of international containers. Then the exported containers from Yiwu City by railway via Ningbo Port Area to overseas are taken for case study, and the CO2 emissions from RTC under different scenarios are estimated. The results show that the CO2 emissions from RTC between Yiwu and Ningbo are underestimated at most by 99.215%, and building new railways can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 22.821%. The findings can provide technical support for evaluating the effect of multimodal transport on reducing of CO2 emissions. Copyright © 2018 by Science Press.
