Abstract

The road and rail transport sectors are important sources of CO₂ emissions. A contribution-based residual distribution Laspeyres index (CRDLI) was developed to analyze the CO₂ emissions from road and rail transport systems in China and six other countries. Transport turnover has an important influence on CO₂ emissions, while energy intensity and energy structure are keys to mitigating CO₂ emissions. GDP per capita is the main driver that increases transport turnover with reducing the turnover rate caused by GDP increases an important way to slow the increase in the transport turnover and further reduce CO₂ emissions.

Key words
