Abstract
Overreliance on fossil energy drives carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change. The symbiosis model of the recycled cement industry chain (RCIC) under the Chinese Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) scheme offers an innovative solution to the energy-intensive emission bottleneck of traditional cement production. However, existing research lacks an analysis of the dynamic process of strategic interaction and symbiotic evolution among enterprises in the RCIC, and the mechanism of symbiotic evolution in the RCIC remains unclear. To reveal the symbiotic evolution mechanism of the RCIC, this study constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of construction enterprises, recycled cement enterprises and traditional cement enterprises on the basis of industrial symbiosis theory. In addition, based on industry reports, publicly available data from the Chinese carbon trading market, and existing research, this study conducted numerical simulation analysis of key parameters through the integration of multiple data sources and parameter calibration. The study found: (1) The symbiosis profit distribution coefficient has a heterogeneous effect on the behavior of the main body in the RCIC. (2) The symbiosis coefficient positively influences the symbiotic evolution of the RCIC. (3) The CCER price within a reasonable range will promote the formation of stable symbiotic relationships. The conclusions of this study passed sensitivity tests, incorporated the CCER mechanism into the symbiosis analysis of the RCIC for the first time, and constructed a new model applicable to the symbiosis scenario of the waste treatment industry. At the same time, this study provides a basis for decision-making on symbiosis benefit distribution strategies for enterprises and provides a reference for the government to formulate effective CCER policies for the resource utilization of construction and demolition waste.
期刊介绍:
Energy Economics is a field journal that focuses on energy economics and energy finance. It covers various themes including the exploitation, conversion, and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy. The journal welcomes contributions that utilize diverse methods such as experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models. It publishes a combination of papers employing different methods to explore a wide range of topics. The journal's replication policy encourages the submission of replication studies, wherein researchers reproduce and extend the key results of original studies while explaining any differences. Energy Economics is indexed and abstracted in several databases including Environmental Abstracts, Fuel and Energy Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, GEOBASE, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Economic Literature, INSPEC, and more.
