Impact of environmental factors in logistics location decisions the case of CO2-emitting companies

Global warming problem is an issue of growing importance, raising such questions as: will CO₂-emitting companies take their carbon capture, transportation and storage (CCTS) constraints into consideration in the selection of their new production sites? Should territorial public authorities consider helping these companies in the handling of their CCTS operations to improve their own attractiveness? As a contribution to answering such questions, a research project has just been launched within the frame of ISEL´s research program in logistics (PETREL). This paper comes as a first presentation of the contextual dimensions of the project as well as of the research methods to be implemented.
