Abstract

The rapid growth of international trade has promoted the development of container transportation, with container terminals playing a crucial role in the process. Multiple factors, including throughput, energy type, and the energy consumption of individual equipment, influence the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions at container terminals. It is essential to comprehensively assess these terminals' energy efficiency and CO₂ emission levels. This study integrates the influencing factors of energy efficiency and CO₂ emission intensity at container terminals, establishes evaluation indicators and applies the super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to develop a comprehensive evaluation model. The model is used to assess container terminals' energy efficiency and CO₂ emission intensity levels, and its effectiveness is validated through case studies. This study innovatively integrates the evaluation of energy efficiency and CO₂ emission levels, using objective data on energy consumption, throughput, and the energy consumption of operational equipment, thereby overcoming subjective influences. The proposed method provides a technical foundation for assessing the energy efficiency and CO₂ emission levels of container terminals.
