Abstract

With the rapid development of urban distribution system, the distribution mode is exhibiting the characteristic of irrational, and the carbon emissions of urban distribution have also become the focus of attention. This paper focuses on the research of the accounting model of carbon footprint in urban distribution system. Firstly, we analyze the process of urban distribution and then define the boundary of carbon footprint; secondly, make a systematic analysis on the emissions equipment, energy consumption and emissions type of various aspects of urban distribution; again introduce the carbon footprint calculation model with the framework of direct emissions and indirect emissions based on the characteristics of the enterprise management; then introduce the parameter of carbon emissions intensity to reflect the impact of unit income of urban distribution enterprise on the environment; finally, the example shows that the total amount of carbon emissions using the method can be applied to the parameter of carbon emissions intensity to evaluate the environmental benefits of urban distribution optimization mode.
