Reduction Potential of Carbon Emission from Inland Water Transportation Activities of Jiangxi Province

Abstract:

Inland shipping is an important transportation mode that has increased over time in Jiangxi Province of China. CO₂ emissions from inland shipping are significantly increasing and have remarkable impact on air quality. And CO₂ reductions from inland waterborne transportation modes are therefore urgently required to reduce the impacts of climate change. CO₂ emissions from inland shipping of Jiangxi Province are calculated by utilizing activities based energy consumption data, and potential CO₂ reduciton are estimated using ASIF equation. Total emissions from inland ships of the province were estimated at 297 Mt CO₂ in 2009, 3.3 times of that in 2000, and potential CO₂ reduction would be in the relative range of 27% to30% in 20 15 and of 35% to 40% in 2020, compared to baseline projections of business-as-usual.
