In order to achieve the goal of “carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060”, all industries are fully engaged in energy conservation and carbon reduction work. Carbon emissions from the transportation sector account for nearly 10% of China's carbon emissions[1]. Port is an extremely important part of China's transportation industry, and it is also one of the key areas of energy conservation and emission reduction in the transportation industry. It is very important to carry out research on the status evaluation of port carbon emissions, predict the future trend of carbon emissions, and explore the strategy and path of port carbon peak. In this study, the carbon emission scenario prediction model based on the detailed list of port equipment was established to simulate the port carbon emissions. It is also applied to a northern port in China to study and judge the peak value and time point of carbon emission in the future, and propose the path of carbon peak in the port.
