“…Chen and Hao (2015) found that the carbon emissions tax imposed on high-efficiency firms should be greater than that imposed on low-efficiency firms competing within the same industry. Wang and Choi (2016) suggested that market-based characteristics of the cap-andtrade mechanism use economic benefits to motivate firms to adopt low-carbon technologies and environmental-friendly facilities to curb greenhouse gas emission. Liu et al (2015) proposed optimisation models to determine the remanufacturing quantity that maximises total profits under three common carbon emission regulation policies.…”

“…Over the past 55 years, the IJPR has contributed to the debate on sustainable production (Sarkis and Zhu 2017), and particularly to expanding understanding of low-carbon production and operations. The IJPR has contributed knowledge on low-carbon manufacturing (for example, Chen and Hao 2015;Dhavale and Sarkis 2015;Liu et al 2015;Wang and Choi 2016), low-carbon logistics and supply chains (such as Validi, Bhattacharya, and Byrne 2014;Brandenburg 2015;Du et al 2015a) and low-carbon products (Tang, Wang, and Ullah 2017). However, by looking back at key articles in the field of low-carbon production and operations, we believe the IJPR can move the sustainability debate forward, furthering its already significant contribution to a more sustainable society.…”

This paper systematically analyses the vital motivations, drivers and barriers to the adoption of low-carbon operations management practices in response to climate change, highlighting the implications for the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR)'s community, which has contributed significantly to discussion of and research into sustainable production. Based on a thorough review of key articles on low-carbon operations management published in a number of prestigious journals, seven propositions for future research are suggested. Additionally, a unique classification of the barriers to and motivations for low-carbon production is put forward. These areas, which deserve further investigation, are (a) economic issues, (b) policy, (c) technology, (d) governance and (e) the market. The research agenda proposed for low-carbon production and operations may prove useful to the production research community in planning future developments and research projects, increasing knowledge and designing teaching modules on the topic. The study concludes by shedding light on the main research opportunities that IJPR's community will encounter.

“…For instance, several studies have found that emissions trading schemes place pressure on firms to adopt corporate strategies supporting investments in abatement technologies that lead to greater energy efficiency and enhanced productivity (e.g., Dunn, ; Henriques & Sadorsky, ; Hoffmann, Trautmann, & Hamprecht, ; Jeswani et al, ; Martin & Rice, ; Pinkse, ; Pinkse & Kolk, ; Wang & Choi, ). For example, in a recent study, Wang and Choi () find that cap‐and‐trade motivates firms through economic incentives to adopt low‐carbon technologies and remove outdated technologies. In another study of carbon‐intensive firms, Cadez and Czerny () find that firms find it more cost‐effective to pursue a single climate mitigation strategy rather than several strategies at the same time.…”

Emissions permit allocation and strategic firm behavior: Evidence from the oil sector in the European Union emissions trading scheme

With the growing urgency of climate change, governments around the world are increasingly implementing new regulations for greenhouse gases. This trend elevates the importance of examining how firms engage in strategic efforts to influence regulations before they are in place and how they respond once they are in effect (i.e., their ex‐ante and ex‐post strategic behavior). This paper examines the outcomes of such strategic efforts by multinational and domestic oil companies within the European Union emissions trading scheme. An analysis of a panel dataset of oil firms (2008–2012) shows that on average the outcome of ex‐ante strategies did not differ significantly between multinational companies (MNCs) and domestic firms. However, the findings indicate that among those firms that received positive net benefits from the new climate policy, domestic firms were able to maximize these benefits better than MNCs through their ex‐post strategies. In contrast, among the firms that faced net costs due to the policy, MNCs were able to minimize these costs better than domestic firms, ex‐post. This paper advances our understanding of whether and to what extent MNCs differ from domestic firms in their economic outcomes stemming from strategic behavior related to emissions trading. This question is especially pertinent for regulations related to climate change, which is one of humanity's grand challenges and has important consequences for our economic, social, and political systems.

“…Currently, the world is facing the problem of greenhouse gasses (GHG) whose concentration in the atmosphere continues to rise due to the emission process from various sources. Because GHG is acidic and retains heat in the atmosphere (Carbonfootprint.com, n.d.;Wang and Choi, 2015b), the high concentration of GHG leads to acid rain and global warming. The subsequent consequences are climate change, sea water flood due to polar ice melting, changes or even ecosystem extinction in the sea due to coral reef damage, as well as on land and air (US Environmental Protection…”

“…Industrial supply chain activities, such as production, shipment of materials and finished goods, as well as the storage and material handling, are all associated with emissions. Emission restrictions, by applying emission cap mechanisms, carbon taxes, or cap and trade, will affect strategic decisions such as which factories or warehouses need to be opened or closed (Fahimnia et al, 2015a) as well as operational decisions such as order quantity or production lot (Fahimnia et al, 2015b;Wang and Choi, 2015b). An important implication is that all decisions pertinent to the supply chain should take into account the emission factors in addition to the financial aspects.…”

Incorporating carbon emissions in queuing models to determine lot sizes and inventory buffers in a supply chain

In this paper, we present a supply chain model that considers both inventory-related costs and emissions. We used the queueing-based performance model wherein emissions in three stages of supply chain activities are captured. The model was solved by the decomposition approach. For model validation, we have used a discrete event simulation. The computation results show that the two results, i.e., the decomposition approach and the simulation, are very close, indicating the accuracy the approach that we used. Experiments were conducted to test the applicability of the model. The numerical examples show that the change in parameter values is not always responded the same way by the total inventory-related costs and the emission costs, indicating the importance of including these two response variables in the model.
