The Impact of Carbon Quota Benchmark Allocation on Cement Company Competitiveness: A System Dynamics Approach

The cement industry, as a high energy-consuming has been included in the carbon emissions trading system (ETS) context of neutrality goals. Benchmark allocation quotas may have significant impact on companies. To study this impact, we constructed dynamics (SD) model for company with three subsystems “demand and production”, “economic efficiency”, “carbon emission trading” based competitiveness theory. A index was established from SD model. Through computer simulation, influence annual decline coefficient benchmark value innovation investment rate company’s under different circumstances were compared analyzed. This puts forward suggestions low-carbon development, such setting reasonable range (0.97–0.99) promoting emission-reduction technologies multiple phases.
