This research evaluates the potential for decarbonizing freight transport at Pasar Induk Beras Cipinang (PIBC), Jakarta's main rice market, through a modal shift from trucks to rail. Using an integrated methodology combining traffic surveys, mobile phone origin-destination data, and GHG Protocol calculations, we analyze emission reduction scenarios and their economic implications. The research reveals that current truck-based operations generate substantial emissions, with inbound freight contributing 268 tons CO₂e/day and outbound freight adding 36 tons CO₂e/day, primarily from the Surakarta-Tegal-Cirebon corridors. Our analysis demonstrates that strategic implementation of rail transport could reduce CO₂ emissions by 48% for inbound logistics, equivalent to shifting 11.3 kt/day to rail and saving Rp14.6 million daily in carbon taxes. Medium-duty trucks account for 82% of emissions, with peak activity occurring during nighttime hours. While Java's existing rail infrastructure has capacity for 180-360 tons/day through its northern and central lines, outbound emissions may still increase by 400% without additional interventions due to growing demand. These findings provide critical insights for achieving Indonesia's Net Zero Emissions target by 2050, highlighting the importance of prioritizing inbound logistics for mode-shift strategies. The study's methodology, particularly its innovative use of mobile big data for freight flow analysis, offers a replicable framework for urban freight decarbonization in similar emerging market contexts. The results underscore rail transport's viability for bulk commodity distribution in urban areas and provide quantitative evidence to support infrastructure investment decisions. This research contributes to sustainable logistics planning by offering policymakers and industry stakeholders actionable strategies for reducing transportation emissions while maintaining economic efficiency in Indonesia's crucial rice distribution network.
