New Carbon Emissions Allowance Allocation Method Based on Equilibrium Strategy for Carbon Emission Mitigation in the Coal-Fired Power Industry

Abstract

Abstract:The carbon emissions from coal-fired power have become an increasing concern to governments around the world. In this paper, a carbon emissions allowances allocation based on the equilibrium strategy is proposed to mitigate coal-fired power generation carbon emissions, in which the authority is the lead decision maker and the coal-fired power plants are the follower decision makers, and an interactive solution approach is designed to achieve equilibrium. A real-world case study is then given to demonstrate the practicality and efficiency of this methodology. Sensitivity analyses under different constraint violation risk levels are also conducted to give authorities some insights into equilibrium strategies for different stakeholders and to identify the necessary tradeoffs between economic development and carbon emissions mitigation. It was found that the proposed method was able to mitigate coal-fired power generation carbon emissions significantly and encourage coal-fired power plants to improve their emissions performance.

Research on a Carbon Emission Calculation Model and Method for an Underground Fully Mechanized Mining Process

“…This paper uses the life cycle idea to determine the carbon emission boundary of the fully mechanized process under different geological conditions. The carbon emission boundary cannot be determined without the identification of carbon emission sources [11,12]. The purpose of this study was to calculate the amount of CO 2 released by each source of carbon emissions throughout the underground coal mining process, so the carbon emissions were calculated using functional units of CO 2 which has the advantage of allowing all parts of the mining system to be analyzed and compared on the same basis.…”

Study on the Initial Allocation of Carbon Emission Rights Applicable to China's National Conditions: from the Perspective of Comprehensive Principles

“…To better cope with the global warming caused by the greenhouse effect, the United Nations convened a series of climate change conferences and formed a binding greenhouse gas emission agreement (Zhang and Hanaoka, 2021;Chang and McAleer, 2019;Ito, 2019;Wu and Liu, 2020). The main body responsible for reducing emissions in global climate governance began to change from developed countries todeveloped and developing countries, and the constraint form also began to change from compulsory governance to independent responsibility (Wang et al, 2019;Feng et al, 2018).…”
