The Greenhouse effect poses a huge threat to the environment. Reducing CO2 emissions is the key solution to climate change. This study follows the model used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. This research carried out a cost-benefit analysis of a strategic alliance between a Taiwanese logistics company and the Taiwan Railway Administration. This research explored a CO2 emissions reduction through an intermodal transport model. By applying a tax on energy consumption, this research assesses the changes in CO2 emissions, energy consumption cost, and transport cost.
Empirical studies show 34.06% of carbon emissions could be reduced daily. Under the intermodal model, the figure rises to 63.79% of energy costs being reduced through the strategic alliance before taxation. Energy costs can be reduced further after imposing the tax, and it is expected to show a rising trend from 68.24% in the first year to 72.69% in the tenth year. Daily transport costs could rise significantly (19.3% to 25%) if the strategic alliance adopts a cargo model prior to applying a tax. However, if the Taiwan Railway Administration offers a discount up to 30%, transport costs will only increase by 3.4% to 8.3%; if the rate increases to 40%, the cost will increase from -1.9% to 2.8%, which shows the cost reduction potential. Rising transport costs could be reduced and a positive net income would eventuate if the Taiwan Railway Administration offered a discount of 50% resulting in a 2.8% to 7.2% reduction in transport costs. By resorting to fourth party logistics, transport costs can be reduced by 12.4% to 16.4%. Those costs would rise annually (after tax) when using the cargo model. However, the costs would reduce on an ongoing annual basis. The contrary applies when partnering with fourth party logistics; transport cost reduction would grow year by year with the taxation.
This study will provide domestic logistics companies, the Taiwan Railway Administration, and the Taiwanese Transportation authority with a ‘Win-Win’ strategy, by providing logistics enterprises, with a more competitive and environmental protection strategy, and adding additional incomes for the Taiwan Railway Administration and CO2 emission reduction for the Taiwanese Transportation Authority.
