Impact of CO2 emission taxation and fuel types on Arctic shipping attractiveness
This study investigates the impact of hubs, CO2 emission taxation policy, and bunker fuels on the economic and environmental attractiveness of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). Twenty-eight years of historical ice data have been combined to define the uncertainty level of ice thickness and concentration...
