Abstract:Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the world today, with green house gas emissions from human activities being a primary driver. Precise evaluation of these emis sions is crucial for achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. Urban underground transpor tation infrastructure systems, which help alleviate traffic congestion and expand urban green spaces, play a key role in achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. However, there is currently no method for calculating the carbon footprint of these systems. This study addressed this gap by de veloping a carbon footprint calculation model within a full lifecycle assessment framework, specifically for urban underground transportation infrastructure. The model established a methodology for carbon emission calculations, which was then applied to a case study to analyze carbon emission patterns across the system's lifecycle and at various stages. Tailored recommendations and measures for energy conservation and emission reduction were proposed based on the distinct emission characteristics of each stage.
