Research on Emission Reduction of Container Liners Decision Making Considering Multiple Carbon Trading Products

Abstract

The bi-level programming model was constructed with the goal of optimal allocation of carbon emission reduction subsidies and carbon emission quota, simulating the interactive decision-making between the government and the liner company and the independent decision-making between enterprises in different carbon emission trading situations. Then, the effect of carbon emission trading and carbon emission reduction subsidies on the promotion of carbon emission reduction of container liner were analyzed. The upper model takes the government as the decision maker to pursue the minimization of the total social cost, and the lower model pursues the lowest cost for the liner company. Liner companies make emission reduction decisions based on the different usage scenarios of the two carbon trading products, the carbon emission quota and the Chinese Certified Emission Reduction (CCER). The relevant data of carbon trading in a certain place were selected for example analysis. The optimal allocation of carbon emission allowances and unit carbon emission reduction subsidies were found. By comparing the single policy with the joint policy, it is concluded that the joint policy can better promote the emission reduction of container liner companies.
