Abstract
The globalization in economic activity and the development of IT in recent years promote the expansion of an international, interactive transportation. Therefore, the concentration of the cargo on the container terminal continues and the role of ports in distribution becomes more important. On the other hand, contributing to reduce the environmental burden and to establish the recycling-based society is an important issue in the transportation field. In this paper the annual amount of the carbon dioxide emissions on main container terminals in Japan was estimated and the equivalent unit of the carbon dioxide emission in the container terminal was investigated.
