Abstract:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) discharged by transportation industry accounts for 20%～30% in developed countries,about 8% in China.Recently,transportation industry has been a major sector of fast growing of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission in global and China.Combination of technical and managerial measures must be applied to reduce GHG emission of transportation industry to achieve a sustainable development.Keywords:

The report evaluates potential carbon dioxide emission reductions from transportation. Some of the measures considered are: improving energy efficiency; low carbon fuels; increasing transportation systems' operating efficiency; and reducing driving private vehicles. Since principal greenhouse gas (GHG) producer is the transportation sector, highway vehicles should be the primary focus of policies to control GHG emissions. Passenger vehicles and light trucks together account for more than 50% of total transportation sector emissions.

Global warming is mainly caused by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) as a result of human activities. CO2 emissions have increased due to industrial advancement that is directly proportional to energy consumption. The green industry is one of the efforts to reduce the increase in GHG emissions. The green industry implementation in Indonesia was initiated in 2010 through a green industry award. This study aims to determine the effect of the green industry in Indonesia on GHG emissions in industrial activities. The research method used in research is a descriptive quantitative method with a secondary data analysis. The results showed that there were a few effects (5.1%) of the green industry on reducing total GHG emissions in industrial activities. The GHG emission in the manufacturing energy sector has decreased which is influenced by the implementation of the green industry with an effectiveness value of 68.2%. The opposite effect occurs in the IPPU (Industrial Processes and Product Use) and waste sectors. The green industry increases GHG emissions in the IPPU sector with an effect of 92.4%, while it has an effect of 81% in increased GHG emissions in the waste sector. The green industry has not had a significant effect on reducing GHG emissions in industrial activities. This is due to the small number of industries that apply the green industry concept. The implementation of the green industry must begin to shift from voluntary to mandatory so that it can affect reducing GHG emissions.

Malaysia has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 40% by the year 2020. The fact that transport sector of Malaysia shares a big portion of national GHG emissions; its role is paramount. The present study reviews the current state of GHG emission, the major technical and policy measures that can be adopted, and the measures that have been initiated in Malaysia for GHG emission reduction in transportation sector. Data related to road vehicles and GHG emission from road transportation are collected from open source databases and analyzed to reveal the present trends and possible future changes in GHG emission due to government initiatives. The result shows deceleration of GHG emission from transportation sector of Malaysia in recent years. However, the study reveals that the present measures may not be enough to reduce GHG emission up to the set target. Malaysia needs more prudent strategies for climate-friendly development of transportation to achieve sustainability goals. The study also examines the potential of Malaysia to reduce GHG and the measures that that can be initiated to streamline the effort towards GHG emission reduction are discussed.

Combined, aviation and marine transportation are responsible for approximately 5 percent of total greenhouse (GHG) emissions in the United States and 3 percent globally and are among the fastest growing modes in the transportation sector. Controlling the growth in these emissions will be an important part of reducing emissions from the transportation sector. A range of near-, medium- and long-term mitigation options are available to slow the growth of energy consumption and GHG emissions from aviation and marine shipping. Implementation of these options could result in reductions of more than 50 percent below BAU levels by 2050 from global aviation and more than 60 percent for global marine shipping. For these reductions to be realized, however, international and domestic policy intervention is required. Developing an effective path forward that facilitates the adoption of meaningful policies remains both a challenge and an opportunity. “Aviation and Marine Transportation: GHG Mitigation Potential and Challenges” presents an introduction to aviation and marine transportation and a discussion of the determinants of GHG emissions from transportation; gives overview of current emissions and trends and growth projections; explains the technological mitigation options and potential GHG emission reductions; and discusses policy options at both the domestic and international level to achieve deep and durable reductions in emissions.

Transportation presents a substantial and growing worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission challenge. GHG mitigation strategies can be grouped into three categories: vehicle efficiency, low carbon fuels, and travel reduction. Potential GHG reductions are very large, with varying levels of cost effectiveness. Virtually all provide large cobenefits, including energy cost savings, oil security, and pollution reduction.

본 연구는 기후변화 대응을 위한 온실가스 인벤토리 구축 및 공정진단을 통해 온실가스 배출 저감 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 기업체의 기후변화 대응에 대한 방향을 제시하였다. 울산지역은 산업단지 중심으로 석유화학, 자동차, 조선 등 에너지 다소비업체가 많으며, 이산화탄소 배출 저감을 체계적으로 실시 할 경우 국가적 차원에서 이산화탄소 배출량을 상당히 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단되어 10개 기업체 대상으로 본 연구를 실시하였다. 10개 기업체 중 5개 기업체의 온실가스 배출량 산정 및 인벤토리 구축 결과 온실가스 배출량의 공정에 따른 직접배출이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 에너지 및 온실가스 저감을 위해 약 온실가스저감 227,554만원 경제적 효과 및 온실가스 이산화탄소 50,740 ton/yr 절감효과를 발생하였다. This study showed the reduced greenhouse gas(GHG) emission through GHG inventory establishment and process diagnosis for a response to climatic change. Also, it presented a direction for company's response to climatic change. Ulsan from its industrial complex has many energy-intensive companies such as petrochemistry, automobile and shipbuilding, and as we judged that the systematic reduction of GHG emission would make a considerable reduction of GHG emission in national dimension we executed this study from 10 companies. It showed the high rate of direction GHG emissions by its process that 5 of 10 companies calculated GHG emission and built its inventory. Also, in order to reduce energy and GHG, it produced about 227,554 million won of its economic effect and 50,740 ton/yr of its sparing effect.
