Low-Carbon Path Transformation for Different Types of Enterprises under the Dual-Carbon Target

Abstract

Under pressure from the environment and resources, emission peak and carbon neutrality have rapidly become a global issue. The optimization of the ecological goal should be in line with the energy target. In most instances, however, the economic and the ecological goals cannot be unified. This paper establishes a multi-objective optimization model that maximizes the economic benefit of enterprises and the ecosystem activity of the government in the meantime. The idea point method is used in solving this multi-objective optimization problem in the form of a single-objective optimization problem. The numerical experiment documents four types of Chinese enterprises, which are primary resources, industrial manufacturing, public services and commercial consumption. Some management insights are summarized at the end, such as the cores of achieving high-quality and low-carbon development are industrial manufacturing and public services in China.
