Abstract

As one of the largest carbon emissions sector in China, the transportation sector accounts for about 10% of the total carbon emissions in China. Urban rail transit plays a pivotal role in promoting the green development of the transportation sector, yet it also contributes to carbon emissions. Studying the life cycle carbon emissions of urban rail transit stations is crucial for achieving China’s dual carbon goals. This paper focuses on a tram station in Guangzhou, applying life cycle assessment (LCA) theory to compute and analyze its total carbon emissions. Furthermore, it proposes carbon reduction strategies and quantitatively assesses their potential. The analysis reveals that the life cycle carbon emissions amount to 5,475,431.8 kg CO2e, with a potential reduction of 1,109,824.5 kg CO2e, corresponding to a 20.3% reduction potential. The findings aim to provide insights for energy conservation and emissions reduction at urban rail transit stations, fostering the green development of the sector and supporting China’s strategies for Carbon peak and Carbon neutrality.
