| Summary: | This research continues previous
work that developed a framework for calculating carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions specifically for countries in Southeast Asia. The purpose of the
present research is to comparatively analyze carbon emissions produced by the
transportation and logistics activities of a consumer goods company with
factories in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines to better
understand the factors driving CO2 emissions generated by the
factories. Several steps were conducted for this research: calculating the
carbon emissions from the factories in each country, comparing the results, and
analyzing the impacts of several factors on the carbon emissions. The factors
are the production numbers of each operating factory, the source of emissions
related to the distance traveled, and the ratio of road and sea transportation
used by the company. This research used three scenarios: data from (1) 2015 and
(2) 2018 and (3) the optimal scenario considering the optimal distribution
network. |
