The transportation sector plays a key role in the economic
and commercial development of Tunisia. However, it is an energy-intensive
sector that is responsible for 25.3% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In this
paper, we use the LMDI decomposition approach of CO2 emissions stemming from the
transportation sector with its different modes (highways, railways, civil
aviation and waterways). Our objective is to evaluate the contribution of each
of the main factors responsible for these emissions, namely the energy
efficiency, the structure and the level of development of the transportation
sector. The empirical analysis of CO2 emissions data concerning this area for
the period 1991-2016 shows that the rapid growth of these emissions is mainly
due to the increase in the level of transport development in Tunisia with a
particular predominance of road transportation. As for the transportation
sector energy efficiency, it was shown that there is an inhibition of CO2
emissions.
