“…This study builds on a body of works which has investigated the potential for national and regional emission trading and carbon reducing technology combinations. Previous modeling efforts have considered the suite of existing and emerging technologies required to meet carbon reduction goals in Japan [10]. Some of these models consider hydrogen as a key technology while still recognizing the strong role required of CCS in achieving decarbonization [11].…”

Building on the carbon reduction targets agreed in the Paris Agreements, many nations have renewed their efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2050. In line with this ambitious goal, nations are seeking to understand the appropriate combination of technologies which will enable the required reductions in such a way that they are appealing to investors. Around the globe, solar and wind power lead in terms of renewable energy deployment, while carbon capture and storage (CCS) is scaling up toward making a significant contribution to deep carbon cuts. Using Japan as a case study nation, this research proposes a linear optimization modeling approach to identify the potential contributions of renewables and CCS toward maximizing carbon reduction and identifying their economic merits over time. Results identify that the combination of these three technologies could enable a carbon dioxide emission reduction of between 55 and 67 percent in the energy sector by 2050 depending on resilience levels and CCS deployment regimes. Further reductions are likely to emerge with increased carbon pricing over time. The findings provide insights for energy system design, energy policy making and investment in carbon reducing technologies which underpin significant carbon reductions, while identifying potential regional social co-benefits.

As urbanization continues to expand in China, carbon emissions (CE) from the construction industry and the amount of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) are rapidly increasing. In order to reduce CEs and environmental hazards, this paper constructs a Stackelberg game model to explore the evolution of carbon emissions reduction (CER) and recycling strategies in the construction material supply chain (CMSC) under the carbon cap–trade (C&T) mechanism. The monotonicity analysis on important variables and model comparison simulation are then conducted. The results show the following: (1) A contractor’s green preference positively correlates with the CER level and recycling rate, while the CER cost exerts the opposite effect. (2) The C&T mechanism incentivizes low-emission manufacturers to actively participate in CER. However, excessive carbon trading prices may put high-emitters in a dilemma, making the whole supply chain profitless. (3) The recycler’s decision to recycle C&DW tends to follow the manufacturer’s CER decision. These findings not only help policy makers understand stakeholders’ behavior in CMSC under C&T mechanism, but also provide a basis for the government to formulate CER policies and introduce low-carbon management.
