Abstract:In this paper, a two-stage dynamic game model of China's iron and steel industry is constructed. Carbon tax levy, product subsidy, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and other factors are included in the emission reduction mechanism. The effects of emissions reduction and the economic impact of China's overall steel industry (and that of its six main regions) are investigated for the first time under different scenarios. As new findings, we report the following: (1) Not all factors declined. The overall social welfare, consumer surplus, output and emissions decrease with a gradual increase in the reduction target, whereas the carbon tax value, unit value of product subsidies and total subsidies show a rising trend; (2) A combination of multiple emissions reduction policies is more effective than a single policy. With the implementation of a combined policy, regional output polarization has eased; (3) Steel output does not exceed 950 million tons, far below the current peak. These results will help the industry to formulate reasonable emissions reduction and output targets. In short, in effort to eliminate industry poverty and to alleviate overcapacity, the industry should not only adopt the various coordinated reduction policies, but also fully consider regional differences and reduction needs.

“…Importantly, the reduction in CO 2 viscosity increases the efficiency of transport along the pipeline, as the pressure losses throughout the pipeline are reduced. It has been shown that there are significant differences in the amounts and types of contaminants in the CO 2 stream transported by different operators [26,43,113]. Notably, the key influencing factors are the differences in CO 2 capture and separation technology, as well as fuel used at the CO 2 source as shown in Table 3 [41,115,116].…”

“…One is advocating the necessity to cut CO 2 emissions and the other promotes continued operation of fossil fuel power plants and carbon-intensive industrial processes. In the latter case, it is considered that these carbon-intensive processes are imperative for the maintenance of both the competitive economies and a high living standard [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. 4 Importantly, transport of CO 2 via pipelines has a number of advantages over other means of CO 2 transport, including transport by trucks, rail, and ships.…”

Transport of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) via pipeline from the point of capture to a geologically suitable location for either sequestration or enhanced hydrocarbon recovery is a vital aspect of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) chain. This means of CO 2 transport has a number of advantages over other means of CO 2 transport, such as truck, rail, and ship. Pipelines ensure continuous transport of CO 2 from the capture point to the storage site, which is essential to transport the amount of CO 2 captured from the source facilities, such as fossil fuel power plants, operating in a continuous manner. Furthermore, using pipelines is regarded as more economical than other means of CO 2 transportThe greatest challenges of CO 2 transport via pipelines are related to integrity, flow assurance, capital and operating costs, and health, safety and environmental factors. Deployment of CCS pipeline projects is based either on point-to-point transport, in which case a specific source matches a specific storage point, or through the development of pipeline networks with a backbone CO 2 pipeline. In the latter case, the CO 2 streams, which are characterised by a varying impurity level and handled by the individual operators, are linked to the backbone CO 2 pipeline for further compression and transport. This may pose some additional challenges.This review involves a systematic evaluation of various challenges that delay the deployment of CO 2 pipeline transport and is based on an extensive survey of the literature. It is aimed at confidence-building in the technology and improving economics in the long run. Moreover, the knowledge gaps were identified, including lack of analyses on a holistic assessment of component impurities, corrosion consideration at the conceptual stage, the effect of elevation on CO 2 dense phase characteristics, permissible water levels in liquefied CO 2 , and commercial risks associated with project abandonment or cancellation resulting from high project capital and operating costs.2

“…Li and Colombier studied building energy efficiency regarding the promotion of low-carbon construction technologies in China [56]. Liu and Gallagher adopted an engineering-economic model to estimate the cost of onshore CO 2 pipeline transportation in China, which could be used for a broad range of potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in this country [57]. Although the previous studies could be effective in addressing either power/energy management or GHG mitigation problems, most of them could barely reflect linkages that exist among activities of management efforts, coal production, power generation and CO 2 emission reduction, as well as their socio-economic and environmental implications in a multi-sector, multi-option and multi-period context.…”

An Inexact Mix-Integer Two-Stage Linear Programming Model for Supporting the Management of a Low-Carbon Energy System in China

Abstract:In view of the great contribution of coal-fired units to CO 2 emissions, the coupled coal and power system with consideration of CO 2 mitigation is a typical sub-system of the highly emitting Chinese energy system for low-carbon studies. In this study, an inexact mix-integer two-stage programming (IMITSP) model for the management of low-carbon energy systems was developed based on the integration of multiple inexact programming techniques. Uncertainties and complexities related to the carbon mitigation issues in the coupled coal and power system can be effectively reflected and dealt with in this model. An optimal CO 2 mitigation strategy associated with stochastic power-generation demand under specific CO 2 mitigation targets could be obtained. Dynamic analysis of capacity expansion, facility improvement, coal selection, as well as coal blending within a multi-period and multi-option context could be facilitated. The developed IMITSP model was applied to a semi-hypothetical case of long-term coupled management of coal and power within a low-carbon energy system in north China. The generated decision alternatives could help decision makers identify desired strategies related to coal production and allocation, CO 2 emission mitigation, as well as facility capacity upgrade and expansion OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2011, 4 1658 under various social-economic, ecological, environmental and system-reliability constraints. It could also provide interval solutions with a minimized system cost, a maximized system reliability and a maximized power-generation demand security. Moreover, the developed model could provide an in-depth insight into various CO 2 mitigation technologies and the associated environmental and economic implications under a given reduction target. Tradeoffs among system costs, energy security and CO 2 emission reduction could be analyzed.
