酒店碳足迹测算研究综述

An Overview of Carbon Footprint Evaluation of Hotel Industry

近些年随着低碳经济理念的兴起,碳足迹测算已经成为国内外学者在环境影响与管理领域的新研究视角。酒店作为旅游业的重要组成部分,呈现出"高投入、高消耗、高污染"的特点,对其碳足迹进行测评研究,分析其碳排放的整个过程,将为探索酒店业合理有效的温室气体减排提供科学依据。文章对国内外现有的酒店碳足迹相关研究进行了资料整合,重点介绍了酒店碳足迹的定义、测算方法及其应用案例。其中测算方法主要包括生命周期评价(LCA)法、投入产出(I-O)法以及混合生命周期分析法,并根据测算方法对相关应用案例研究结果进行了整理和分析。最后,针对当前酒店碳足迹测评的研究现状,从研究边界、研究视角、测算方法、模型构建等四个方面存在的不足进行了探讨,并展望了未来研究趋势,以期能够对学界深化相关研究产生一定的促进作用。

In recent years, with the rise of the concept of low carbon economy, carbon footprint calculation has become a new research perspective of domestic and foreign scholars in the field of environmental impact and management.As an important part of the tourism, hotel industry shows the characteristics of ＂high input, high consumption, and high pollution＂. It provides a scientific basis for reducing the carbon emissions of hotei industry by evaluating the carbon footprint and analyzing the whole process. Based on the existing domestic and international related researches on carbon footprint of hotel industry, this paper focuses on the definition, calculation method of carbon footprint of hotel industry and its application. The calculation methods include life cycle assessment （LCA） method, input-output analysis （I-O） method and the hybrid life cycle. Finally, according to the current academic research on carbon footprint evaluation of the hotel industry, this paper discusses shortcomings of four aspects： the boundary, research perspective, method of calculation, and model construction, and explores the future research trend, with the hope to promote the relevant researched.
