Optimization analysis of emission reduction transformation strategy for thermal power enterprises under carbon allowance system

Abstract

As environmental problems become more and more serious, various industries in society are paying much more attention to the control of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. Many related emission reduction policies have emerged as a response to the special time. The carbon allowance system is one of them; the proposal of the “double carbon goal” (Carbon peak, carbon neutrality) is also an important test for Chinese traditional energy companies, and has brought a series of development problems to them. As a major part of the social energy industry, in China, power industry emits half amount of carbon dioxide each year. Therefore, the carbon emissions of the power industry have received great attention. Because coal power generation has the characteristics of high pollution and high energy consumption, the emission reduction of coal power companies is also one of the main positions for the power industry to achieve the “double carbon goal”. The carbon allowance system has brought considerable challenges to the operation and development of thermal power companies. Thermal power companies must make full use of the market to optimize resource allocation and reduce operating costs. At the same time, they also need to transform the external pressure brought by the carbon allowance system into high-quality development, and actively seek the transformation of power generation emission reduction technology. This article mainly studies the impact of carbon emission rights trading on thermal power companies, and conducts strategic optimization analysis on the emission reduction technology transformation of thermal power companies to help them find the most economical emission reduction transformation plan to meet the development requirements of the new situation.
