Global mapping of disaggregated international trade-linked transportation CO <sub>2</sub> emissions
emissions to countries and commodities, the simplification of modal share can lead to substantial biases through carbon-intensity weighting. By shifting the focus from end-of-pipe emissions to upstream demand, this study identified a decarbonization potential of 41.6% through optimizing transportation distances. The findings offer valuable insights for designing targeted mitigation policies for international freight transportation.
