Multi-item production planning with carbon cap and trade mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carbon emission control becomes a challenge in recent years, and carbon emission trading is an effective way to curb carbon emission. This paper investigates the multi-item production planning problem with carbon cap and trade mechanism, in which a firm uses a common capacity and carbon emission quota to produce multiple products for fulfilling independent stochastic demands, and the firm can buy or sell the right to emit carbon on a trading market of carbon emission. A profitmaximization model is proposed to characterize the optimization problem. The optimal policy of production and carbon trading decisions is analyzed, and an efficient solution method with linear computational complexity is presented for solving the optimal solution. The impacts of carbon price, carbon cap on the shadow price of the common capacity, production decisions, carbon emission and the total profit are investigated. The comparisons of the carbon cap and trade policy and the taxation policy are given to show the effectiveness of the policies. Numerical analyses are presented for illustrating our findings and obtaining some managerial insights and policy implication. & 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Integrating Forest Carbon Sequestration into a Cap-and-Trade Program to Reduce Net Carbon Emissions
Problem: Most research on planning to mitigate climate change has focused on reducing CO2 emissions from coal-fıred power plants or the transportation sector. The contribution of forests to lowering net CO2 emissions has largely been overlooked. U.S. forests already offset about one eighth of the nation's annual CO2 emissions and have the potential to offset more, all at a relatively low cost. ...

The electrocatalytic oxidation of captopril (CAP) was studied by modified carbon nanotubes paste electrode in the presence of isoproterenol (ISPT) using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Also, the values of catalytic rate constant (k), and electron transfer coefficient (α) for CAP were calculated. The mechanism of CA electrochemical behavior at the mo...

متن کاملA Flow shop Production Planning Problem with basic period policy and Sequence Dependent set up times
Many authors have examined lot sizing, scheduling and sequence of multi-product flow shops, but most of them have assumed that set up times are independent of sequence. Whereas dependence of set up times to sequence is more common in practice. Hence, in this paper, we examine the discussed problem with hypothesis of dependence of set up times to sequence and cyclic schedule policy in basic peri...
