Abstract
Spurred by the increasingly serious air pollution problem, the Chinese government has launched a series of policies to put forward specific measures of power structure adjustment and the control objectives of air pollution and coal consumption. Other policies pointed out that the coal resources regional blockades will be broken by improving transportation networks and constructing new logistics nodes. Thermal power takes the largest part of China’s total installed power generation capacity, so these policies will undoubtedly impact thermal coal supply chain member enterprises. Based on the actual situation in China, this paper figures out how the member enterprises adjust their business decisions to satisfy the requirements of air pollution prevention and control policies by establishing system dynamic models of policy impact transfer. These dynamic analyses can help coal enterprises and thermal power enterprises do strategic environmental assessments and find directions of sustainable development. Furthermore, the policy simulated results of this paper provide the Chinese government with suggestions for policy-making to make sure that the energy conservation and emission reduction policies and sustainable energy policies can work more efficiently.
Highlights
According to the Air Quality Report issued by the Chinese Environmental Protection Ministry, inChina’s annual haze days reached the highest level on record (19.5 days) owing to unsustainable development and an unreasonable energy structure
For thermal power sulfur dioxide emissions targets, The Action Plan pointed out that the PM10 concentration will drop by more than 10% in 2017 compared to 2012
This article selects several important factors such as SO2 emissions of thermal power coal consumption, desulfurization capacity proportion, and the changing rate of thermal power installed capacity to measure the impacts of two typical kinds of air pollution reduction policies, and analyzes the changing developing modes brought by these two policies from multiple perspectives
Summary
According to the Air Quality Report issued by the Chinese Environmental Protection Ministry, in. China’s annual haze days reached the highest level on record (19.5 days) owing to unsustainable development and an unreasonable energy structure. The national annual concentration of PM2.5 has reached 72 micrograms per cubic meter. Academy of Sciences (CAS) showed that: the sources of Beijing’s particulate matter (PM10) emission are secondary inorganic aerosols (26%), industrial pollution (25%), coal consumption (18%), soil dust (15%), biomass burning (12%), and automobile exhaust gas and waste incineration (4%). The secondary inorganic aerosols, industrial pollution, and coal consumption are all caused by the burning of fossil fuels. China’s worsening air quality is probably caused by extensive coal consumption and a high energy consumption development pattern
