can carbon Emission trading scheme achieve energy conservation and Emission Reduction evidence from the industrial sector in china
Energy Economics, 2020Co-Authors: Shenggang Ren, Yangjie Wang, Xiaohong ChenAbstract:Abstract Whether the Emission trading scheme (ETS) can achieve energy conservation and Emission Reduction in developing countries is crucial for these countries to achieve sustainable economic and environmental development. This study investigates the energy conservation and Emission Reduction effects of China's carbon dioxide (CO2) ETS pilot policy implemented in 2011. Based on panel data of the two-digit industry at province level from 2005 to 2015, we adopt the difference-in-differences (DID) model to examine the effects of the CO2 ETS on energy conservation and Emission Reduction. The results show that the CO2 ETS decreases the energy consumption of the regulated industries in pilot areas by 22.8% and the CO2 Emissions by 15.5% compared to those in nonpilot areas. Further analysis indicates that the policy effects are mainly driven by improving technical efficiency and adjusting industrial structure. In addition, we find that the CO2 ETS performs better in areas with high levels of environmental enforcement and marketization. Overall, our findings suggest that the CO2 ETS has achieved energy conservation and Emission Reduction effects in developing countries.

co op advertising and Emission Reduction cost sharing contracts and coordination in low carbon supply chain based on fairness concerns
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016Co-Authors: Yanju Zhou, Maojing Bao, Xiaohong ChenAbstract:Abstract Governments' energy-saving Emission Reduction policies and consumers' low-carbon preference have important implications for an enterprise's production operations. In this paper, we consider a low-carbon supply chain channel with one manufacturer and one retailer and show how to optimize the low-carbon supply chain management decision and improve the supply chain performance through contract design. This paper analyzes how the co-op advertising contract and the co-op advertising & Emission Reduction cost sharing contracts impact the low-carbon supply chain's optimal decision and coordination. We also explore how the optimal decision and coordination change when a retailer has fairness concerns. We have several findings. First, regardless of whether or not the retailer has fairness concerns, a co-op advertising contract cannot achieve channel coordination, but can enhance channel effectiveness; Second, when the retailer does not have fairness concerns, the co-op advertising and Emission Reduction cost sharing contracts can achieve channel coordination and achieve win–win situation under certain conditions; Third, the retailer's fairness concerns can change the co-op advertising and Emission Reduction cost sharing contracts' coordination in some cases. Our study contributes to the theoretical basis for the design of low-carbon supply chain cooperation contracts, especially in cases where the retailer has fairness concerns.

differential game model of joint Emission Reduction strategies and contract design in a dual channel supply chain
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018Co-Authors: Yanju ZhouAbstract:Abstract Joint Emission Reduction is widely used in low-carbon supply chain practices. It consists of the manufacturer's Emission Reduction and the retailer's advertising campaign. In this paper, we present a differential game that involves one manufacturer and one retailer in a dual-channel supply chain under low-carbon environment. We analyze the optimal equilibrium strategies in centralized and decentralized dual-channel supply chains, and compare the results of the single channel and dual-channel supply chains. We also discuss how the cooperative advertising contract and the cooperative advertising and Emission Reduction cost sharing contract affect the optimal strategies and coordination of dual-channel supply chains. Our results suggest that the Emission Reduction level trajectory is monotonic, whereas the goodwill trajectory changes direction once at most. Wholesale price and the degree of customer loyalty to the retail channel exert a significant influence on optimal strategies. Manufacturer's profit and Emission Reduction effort are higher and retailer's profit and advertising effort are lower in a dual-channel supply chain than in a single channel supply chain. The cooperative advertising and Emission Reduction cost sharing contract is more efficient than the cooperative advertising contract under certain conditions, and a high low-carbon and brand preference of consumers indicates a greater likelihood that the supply chain members will adopt the contract. The results can provide a theoretical basis for supply chain members to make optimal decisions and choose the appropriate contract in a dual-channel supply chain under low-carbon environment.

energy saving and Emission Reduction technology selection and co2 Emission Reduction potential of china s iron and steel industry under energy substitution policy
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019Co-Authors: Xianchun Tan, Jianxin Guo, Yuan ZengAbstract:Abstract The carbonisation of energy structures is a principal reason for the high carbon levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) Emissions in the steel industry. The implementation of an energy substitution policy in the Chinese steel industry has important practical significance for this industry in terms of reducing CO2 Emissions. Based on this, this paper divides 20 types of energy-saving and Emission-Reduction (ESER) technologies into 4 categories: coal-saving technology, electricity-saving technology, comprehensive energy-saving technology, and linkage technology according to the energy-saving effect of different technology on energy varieties. Considering the energy substitution constraints on energy structures within the steel industry, we construct a bottom-up optimisation model based on a scenario analysis to analyse the Emission Reductions under 3 different scenarios: the baseline scenario (BAU), policy scenario (PS), and strengthened policy scenario (SPS). Results show that the Emission Reduction of coal-saving technology and comprehensive energy-saving technology in 2030 is 102 million tons CO2 (MtCO2) and 129 MtCO2, respectively, in the PS, and 116 MtCO2 and 130 MtCO2, respectively, in the SPS. Compared with these types of technology, electricity-saving technology is maintained at the level of the BAU. Linkage technology is developed in the latter period of the SPS. The Emission Reduction of linkage technology in the SPS in 2030 will be 4.1 MtCO2. During the period of 2015–2020, priority should be given to the development of thin slab continuous casting technology in comprehensive energy-saving technology and the development of blast furnace thick phase high efficiency coal injection technology in coal-saving technology. During the period 2020–2030, priority should be given to the development of thick layer sintering technology, hot delivery & hot charging technology of continuous casting slab, online treatment technology in comprehensive energy-saving technology and low temperature rolling technology, converter ‘negative energy steelmaking’ technology, and double preheating technology for hot stove of blast furnace in coal-saving technology.

co2 Emission Reduction potential in china s electricity sector scenario analysis based on lmdi decomposition
Energy Procedia, 2015Co-Authors: Xianchun Tan, Yuan ZengAbstract:Abstract The CO 2 Emission Reduction from China's electricity sector will matter not only for China but impact the result of the global action on climate change. This paper firstly analyzed the main factors that affect the CO 2 Emission in accordance with the LMDI decomposition model. Then three scenarios were assumed based on the main factors to explore the CO 2 Reduction potential. Furthermore, LMDI method was used again to measure the contribution of each factor to CO 2 Emission Reduction potential in the future. The results showed that the CO 2 Emission will continue to grow in the three scenarios from 2010 to 2020, with an annual growth rate of 10.7%, 6.5% and 4.5%, respectively. The active low carbon policies taken on the driving factors will contribute to 2701Mt - 3688Mt CO 2 Emission Reduction. The share of low-carbon power generation and thermal power generation efficiency are most important factors for Emission Reduction. However, in the long run, low-carbon power generation will contribute more. Terminal electricity consumption is always the most important factor driving CO 2 Emission up. Finally, policies for low-carbon development of China's electricity sector are proposed based on the analysis results.

Study on an Implementation Scheme of Synergistic Emission Reduction of CO2 and Air Pollutants in China’s Steel Industry
MDPI AG, 2019Co-Authors: Xianchun Tan, Jianxin Guo, Kaiwei Zhu, Chen HuangAbstract:China’s steel industry is an energy-intensive sector. Synergistic Reduction of Emissions of CO2 and air pollutants (SO2, NOx, and PM2.5) in the steel industry has an important practical significance for climate change and air pollution control. According to the CO2 Emission Reduction intensity targets (CERO) and air pollutant Emission targets (PERO) for 2020 and 2030, 28 types of energy-saving and Emission Reduction technologies (20 types of carbon Reduction technology and eight types of air pollution end-of-pipe technology) were selected for examination, and a two-stage dynamic optimization model with collaborative implementation of PERO and CERO was built to assess the near future (2015–2020) and long-term (2020–2030) implementation plans for synergistic Emissions Reduction of CO2 and air pollutants. The results show that in the near future, the implementation of PERO will have a greater synergistic effect on CO2 Emission Reduction. CO2 Emission Reduction under PERO in 2020 will be 97 million tons (Mt) higher than that of CERO, an increase of nearly 26%. However, the effects of implementing CERO are better in the long run. Under CERO, the Emission Reductions of SO2, NOx, and PM2.5 in 2030 are 2.44 Mt, 1.47 Mt, and 0.86 Mt, respectively, and 7%, 4%, and 5% higher than the implementation of PERO. As far as marginal abatement cost is concerned, in the near future, the marginal abatement costs of CO2 and air pollutant equivalents are 1.06 yuan/kgCO2 and 133 yuan/kg pollution equivalent (pe) under PERO, which are 23% and 11% lower than that of CERO, while in the long run, the marginal abatement costs of CO2 and pollutant equivalents under CERO are 0.025 yuan/kgCO2 and 2.73 yuan/kgpe, about 96% and 95% lower than that of PERO

contracting Emission Reduction for supply chains considering market low carbon preference
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016Co-Authors: Qinpeng Wang, Daozhi ZhaoAbstract:Abstract Under the low-carbon environment, we focus on a dyadic supply chain with a manufacturer and a retailer to develop a game model for studying the issues of carbon Emission Reduction within the retailer dominant and the power balanced cases, respectively. The consumers are assumed to be of environmental consciousness and accordingly will note the carbon footprint of product when shopping. We find that with the cost-sharing and the wholesale price premium contracts, the retailer can achieve the goal of jointly reducing carbon Emissions with the manufacturer, which can promote the manufacturer to increase the carbon Emission Reduction rate and raise the profit of supply chain. In both the retailer dominant case and the power balance case, the cost-sharing contract can result in Pareto improvement in the performance of both the manufacturer and the retailer. However, the wholesale price premium contract can increase the profit of the supply chain only when the level of low carbon preference is high in the retailer dominant case, and it can also represent a Pareto improvement for the supply chain even if when the level of low carbon preference is low in the power balanced case.
