Abstract

Carbon emissions quotas (CEQ) and energy quotas (EQ) have been recognized as effective policy tools for promoting energy conservation and emission reduction. However, existing methods have considerable limitations in meeting the phased requirements of carbon peaking constraints and synergistically allocating EQ and CEQ. Therefore, we propose a synergistic allocation method for CEQ and EQ to balance economic development and environmental sustainability under carbon peak constraints. Using 30 provinces in China as case studies, a dual-layer allocation model was constructed by integrating an indicator method with an improved ZSG-DEA model to achieve the coordinated management and target control of CEQ and EQ. Reaching energy and carbon emission targets under peak constraints, this approach avoids excessive reductions in regional quota usage rights, and promotes equitable and efficient interprovincial quota distribution. A high correlation was noted between CEQ and EQ among the provinces, highlighting the necessity for synergistic quota management. Energy-intensive regions and cleaner western regions require opposite quotaadjustment strategies, resulting in quota surpluses and deficits across the provinces. Reductions in energy-intensive provinces such as Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Xinjiang should be maintained within 20%, whereas cleaner western provinces are expected to achieve quota surpluses. This differentiated adjustment strategy helps to narrow the interprovincial quota gap and promotes regional coordination. Under peak carbon targets, economic growth requires the combined efforts of a quota allocation mechanism, efficient use strategies, and economic structural transformation. These findings can inform multiscale environmental resource quota allocation, contributing to carbon peaks and development goals.

碳排放与能源配额的协同分配:碳峰值约束下的平衡行为。
碳排放配额(CEQ)和能源配额(EQ)已被公认为促进节能减排的有效政策工具。然而,现有方法在满足碳峰值约束的阶段性要求以及EQ和CEQ的协同分配方面存在相当大的局限性。因此,我们提出了碳峰值约束下CEQ和EQ的协同配置方法,以平衡经济发展和环境可持续性。以中国30个省份为例,将指标法与改进的ZSG-DEA模型相结合,构建了双层分配模型,实现了CEQ和EQ的协调管理和目标控制。该方法在峰值约束下达到能源和碳排放目标,避免了区域配额使用权的过度削减,促进了配额在省际间的公平高效分配。在各省之间,环境质量和经济绩效之间存在高度的相关性,突出了协同配额管理的必要性。能源密集型地区和更清洁的西部地区需要相反的配额调整策略,导致各省配额出现盈余和赤字。河北、内蒙古、山西和新疆等能源密集型省份的减排应保持在20%以内,而较为清洁的西部省份有望实现配额盈余。这种差别化调整策略有助于缩小省际配额差距,促进区域协调。在碳峰值目标下,经济增长需要配额分配机制、高效利用策略和经济结构转型的共同努力。这些发现可以为多尺度环境资源配额分配提供信息,有助于碳峰值和发展目标的确定。
