Article Synopsis
- Road transport is the major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in China's transportation sector, highlighting the need for sustainable practices.
- The study develops a carbon footprint accounting model to evaluate the benefits of recycling spent ternary lithium-ion batteries, which will become increasingly urgent as new energy vehicles proliferate.
- Results indicate that optimizing the power structure offers more significant carbon emission reductions (14%-19%) than optimizing transportation, while the regenerative product stage of recycling contributed the most to carbon reduction.

The steel industry is one of the most carbon-intensive industries in China. To analyze the carbon emission and carbon reduction potential of the steel industry in the life cycle, a carbon emission accounting model was built from the perspective of the life cycle. Taking the year 2020 as an example, an empirical analysis was carried out to predict and evaluate the carbon reduction potential of the steel industry in the life cycle by optimizing four variables, namely, scrap usage, fossil fuel combustion, electric power carbon footprint factor, and clean transportation proportion.
