Greenhouse gases, Transport modals, Port routesAbstract
Climate change has intensified in recent decades due to the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) arising mainly from human activities. The transport sector is one of those responsible for the increase in these concentrations, due to the incomplete burning of fossil fuels in the use of different modals, such as road and railway. However, these modals are very important for the Brazilian production flow, product imports, as well as other human needs and development. Considering these facts, the present study inventoried the greenhouse gas emissions of the modal system on the port cargo route of Santa Catarina. With this purpose, movement data of Santa Catarina´s ports, road and railway modals data were used, referring to 2020 year. The data were analyzed using the Brazilian greenhouse gas protocol tool - GHG Protocol (Scope 1), 2022 version. In addition to the base data, five other scenarios were analyzed, considering different increments that encourage the railway use expansion as a strategy to reduce emissions. As a result, a reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions was observed when using the rail modal compared to the road modal, since, when comparing scenario 5 (50% rail + 50% road) with the current scenario (12.1% rail + 87.9% road), there is a 43% reduction in emissions from the road sector. Such findings make clear the importance of encouraging strategic planning and investments to promote intermodality and optimize logistical efficiency in Santa Catarina through the transport matrix diversification as a way of promoting sustainability.

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
