“…The study of the correlation between environmental attitude and environmental behavior Scheelhaase et al (2010) also indicated that factors of (1) Environmental sensitivity, (2) Personal control belief, (3) Group control belief, and (4) Attitude toward pollution had a significantly positively correlation to environmental behavior. Abdollahzadehgan et al (2013) used garbage recycling as an example for investigating the correlation between environmental behavior and various types of factors.…”

Abstract. Due to the popularity of recreation and entertainment activities, the concept of ecotourism is getting popular in recent years. The research targets in this study include tourists to the Wuyi Mountain Duanyuan Ecological Tourism Zone, China. The convenience sampling approach is used in this study and a total of 500 questionnaire copies are dispatched. There are 372 valid questionnaire copies returned and the rate of response is 74%. The results of this study indicate that 1.there is a positive correlation between the environmental knowledge and the environmental attitude, 2.there is a positive correlation between the environmental attitude and the environmental behavior, and 3.there is a positive correlation between the environmental knowledge and the environmental behavior. Finally, recommendations are proposed based on the research results and expected to be beneficial for culturing common people's environmental literacy, correct environmental attitude, environmental and ecological caring, and fulfillment of environmental behaviors.

“…He finds that exempting transport from emission regulation and shifting the reduction burden to other sectors leads to the smallest welfare reduction. Scheelhaase et al (2010) investigate the impact of the inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS on the competition of EU based and non-EU based 4 airlines. They find that non-EU based airlines gain competitive advantage over EU based airlines.…”

The transport sector is the second largest carbon emissions contributor in Europe and its emissions continue to increase. Many shippers are committing themselves to reducing transport emissions voluntarily, possibly in anticipation of increasing transport prices. In this paper we study a shipper that has outsourced transport and has decided to cap its carbon emissions from outbound logistics for a group of products. Setting an emission constraint for a group of products allows taking advantage of reducing emissions substantially where it is less costly and less where it is more costly. We focus on reducing emissions by switching transport modes within an existing network, since this has a large impact on emissions. In addition, the company sets the sales prices for the products, which influences demand. We develop a solution procedure that uses Lagrange relaxation. Conditions on total logistics cost and unit emissions are derived that determine which transport mode is selected for a product. It is observed that a diminishing rate of return applies in reducing emissions by switching transport modes. In a case study we apply our method to a producer of bulk liquids and find that emissions can be reduced by 10% at only a 0.7% increase in total logistics cost.

“…The main target of inclusion of aviation to EU ETS is to reduce aviation CO2 emissions by a cap system to 5% below the 2006 level, by 2020 (J. Scheelhaase, Grimme, and Schaefer, 2010; European Commission, 2013b; Hagmann, Semeijn, and Vellenga, 4 The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the first large greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme in the world. The implementation of EU ETS started since 2005 to combat with global warming.…”

“…Global concerns about limited sources of fossil fuels, challenges of fuel price instability and supply and demand; and international aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of air transport sector, all together led the industry to invest on R&D projects to explore sustainable alternative jet fuels and adopt available or in production aircraft for utilizing them (D. S. Lee et al, 2009;J. Scheelhaase, Grimme, and Schaefer, 2010;Boeing, 2014).…”

Analysis of evolution of commercial air traffic CO2 emissions in the European Union

The environmental sustainability of the air transport industry, as a key player in global social and economic development, has become a major issue in the agenda of the industry´s stakeholders during the past decade. On both international and local levels, policy makers, scientists and environmentalists, manufacturers and airlines have begun to collaborate on fuel efficiency improvements and greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the sector.This dissertation evaluates the structure and distribution of air traffic in European Union member states. The data presented here has been extracted from the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat) and databases compiled by the The European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL). The focus of this study is on commercial air traffic and CO2 emissions in the European Union in 2010 and its evolution through 2013.The extracted data for all EU countries consist of variables such as: number of flights, number of passengers, freight tonnes, revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs) and revenue tonne kilometers (RTKs), fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The majority of EU air transport traffic is concentrated in six countries: France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and The United Kingdom, which in 2010 represented approximately two thirds of the total EU flights. The data is then segmented per distance bands, at intervals of 500 km to see the concentration of traffic in different distance bands and compare their share with other modes of transport. The fuel efficiency trend in the six largest EU aviation markets from 2010 to 2013 is analyzed and the potential reasons for the changes are investigated. The evolution in the airline fleet composition during the last decade is presented as one of the reasons for the improvement in fuel efficiency, measured by fuel efficiency parameter measuring fuel consumption per RTK (passengers + freight). Additionally, the differences in terms of fuel efficiency among the various airline business models (network carriers, low cost carriers, etc.) and aircraft types are studied. Moreover, future CO2 emissions are projected, taking into consideration three different traffic growth and efficiency improvement scenarios.The results of this analysis indicate a slight reduction in the traffic, both for passengers and freight about (-0.8%) but more importantly, a reduction in CO2 emissions (-4.3%), which is the result of an improvement in fuel efficiency parameters (-3.5%) during these three years. There has been a relevant change in the fleet composition in the last ten years, with the replacement of older models for more efficient ones, and a shift to larger aircraft, particularly in the regional segment. Traffic has decreased in shorter distances (internal EU traffic), but increased in more efficient long-range flights (extra-EU traffic), resulting also in an improvement in the efficiency parameters as average aircraft size and stage length increases. This investigation concludes that technological efficiency in...
