J. Roesing, RWTH Aachen University, Germany

To identify where the emissions in the transport sector originate and to draw conclusions on how to reduce them, it is necessary to examine the specific source of the emissions. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the different causes of emissions in air passenger transport compared to rail and road transport. It also examines how emissions are determined in existing literature.
