We assess the effects of a short-haul flights ban on transportation network that includes local, international and connecting markets modal competition between high-speed rail (HSR), air private car. When are relatively important or there is sufficient substitution, bans induce more car traffic, less local HSR traffic due to higher prices also since decrease. Our simulation results unveil when closest substitutes increases environmental damages. Welfare gross damages typically falls.

International flights generate substantial volumes of waste that pose a unique environmental challenge, as strict biosecurity regulations require it to be disposed through destructive methods across the world. However, impact on world's climate managing this remains unquantified and largely disregarded in aviation mitigation discussions. This study presents first analysis contribution cabin management change, developing novel methodology combines passenger movement data with generation factors quantify volumes, composition, greenhouse gas emissions national waste. Applied United Kingdom case study, our estimates approximately 89,000 tonnes entered UK 2022. generated between 10,400 40,500 CO2 equivalent due mandated disposal landfill or incineration. is driven by regulatory requirements prevent more sustainable treatment methods, slow industry innovations. Our model demonstrates allowing treated like domestic could benefits 33,900 equivalent, material energy recovery. With movements projected grow 2050, we identify specific actions enable while maintaining high levels biosecurity. research provides replicable framework for other nations their impacts, evidence-based pathways urgent regulation operational reform.

The development of the aviation industry relies heavily on stable kerosene prices, and price fluctuations have an impact its economic sustainability. To explore effect China’ s implementation market-oriented reform our study aims to evaluate dynamic correlation between China’s prices Singapore’s CIF price, supply demand, domestic level other factors. this end, in paper, monthly data from 2006 2019 were selected for variables mentioned above and, based multiple econometric techniques, influence market factors China was studied. empirical results confirm that current Chinese has a significant linking with imports is affected by demand. more international oil gas relative fundamental market. long- short-term Granger causality test also show field beginning take effect. Finally, article discusses puts forward suggestions promoting refined products sustainable industry.

Today, options to reduce the climate impacts of high-speed passenger transport over hundreds kilometres are limited using low-carbon synthetic fuels in aviation and trains. In future, alternatives like battery electric airplanes might be available. Further, vehicles operating near-vacuum tubes, so-called "hyperloop systems", could represent an alternative. Our first-of-its-kind environmental life cycle assessment (LCA), considering its construction, operation, end-of-life, shows that such a hyperloop system is energy-efficient can exhibit very low greenhouse gas emissions (<8 g CO2/pkm) if sources provide electricity for operation relatively high occupation rates realised. The performance regarded as similar train offering same service. Compared air travel, burdens substantially reduced (<5% impact on change compared conventional aircraft). This fundamental finding holds despite uncertainties regarding technical properties design choices, which reflect current development status hyperloop.
