Abstract
The green low-carbon development system of enterprises, differing from the traditional linear system, is a nonlinear feedback system with complex causality. Based on self-organization theory, this study clarified the self-organization evolution logic of the green low-carbon development of coal enterprises and constructed a system dynamics model following a system dynamics method. Through a scenario simulation analysis, the impact of the market environment, environmental regulation, and enterprises’ innovation level on the green low-carbon development of coal enterprises was revealed. Applicability suggestions based on simulation results were proposed. The results confirmed that the main challenge for coal enterprises is that the coal market environment restricts the promotion of green low-carbon development level of coal enterprises. Improving innovation levels is the most effective way for coal enterprises to address these issues.
Highlights
Since 1980, the concept of sustainable development was first put forward in the World Conservation Strategy jointly published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). e Our Common Future report published by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) in 1987 defines sustainable development as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1]
The system model is simulated with relevant coal industry data. rough a scenario simulation analysis, this study reveals the impact of market environment, environmental regulation, and enterprises’ innovation level on the green low-carbon development of coal enterprises
Based on the self-organization theory, this study clarifies the self-organization evolution logic of green low-carbon development of coal enterprises and proposes that this development is affected by the external market environment, environmental regulations, and the enterprises’ internal innovation level. e system simulation model of green lowcarbon development of coal enterprises is constructed using the system dynamics method, which is simulated using the relevant data of the coal industry from 2006 to 2015. is study reveals the influence of the market environment, environmental regulation, and enterprises’ innovation level on the green low-carbon development of coal enterprises through a scenario simulation analysis and attempts to put forward applicable suggestions for the green low-carbon development of coal enterprises based on the simulation results
Summary
Since 1980, the concept of sustainable development was first put forward in the World Conservation Strategy jointly published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). e Our Common Future report published by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) in 1987 defines sustainable development as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1]. To cope with climate change, green lowcarbon development has become the development trend for all countries in the world [2]. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s global coal market report for 2018–2023, coal still constitutes the core source of fuel in the global energy system, and it still remains the main source of energy in many countries. As a large coal-consuming country, the status of coal as the main source of energy in China is not expected to change in the foreseeable future. The clean and efficient use of green low-carbon coal development is extremely important, since coal enterprises—as the main bodies of the microeconomy—bear an important responsibility in this area. How to better achieve green low-carbon development of coal enterprises in the future has been a key focus of research
