Simulation study on carbon emission reduction in regional transportation industry in Liaoning Province

Liaoning Province, serving as a crucial transportation hub for the three northeastern provinces and the North China region, is expected to experience a continuous growth in transportation demand. Consequently, the pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation industry has escalated significantly. Nationwide, new energy-based transportation modes are being actively promoted. The transportation industry, with its substantial potential for emission reduction, stands as a key sector in the efforts of energy conservation and emission reduction.This paper takes the energy consumption and carbon emissions in the transportation sector of Liaoning Province as the research focus. By applying the system dynamics method, a system for transportation energy consumption and carbon emissions is constructed. Integrating scenario analysis, various scenario schemes are set up, and the influencing parameters are selected based on the simulation results. The findings indicate that under the combined scenario, there is a remarkable reduction in both transportation energy consumption and carbon emissions. Based on these results, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed for the energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives in the transportation industry of Liaoning Province.
