Effects of Carbon Trading on Operating Costs of the Civil Aviation Industry

Abstract:

This study investigates carbon emission inventory from the local civil aviation industrys aircrafts, airport ground service vehicles and power consumption within an airport. With the existing data of five years, the operating costs probably added into civil aviation industrys operating costs are estimated and sensitivity of six variables are evaluated with Monde Carlo simulations herein to construct a basis for the policy of carbon trading. The dominant two factors contributing to variation in the cost of carbon trading per takeoff & landing at the Taoyuan Airport and the Taipei Airport are carbon price (71.1%) and number of takeoffs & landings (14.4%) as well as number of takeoffs & landings (38.7%) and carbon price (35.3%), respectively.
