The Impact

Abstract As an effective tool of carbon emission reduction, emission trading has been widely used in many countries. Since 2013, China implemented carbon emission trading in seven provinces and cities, with iron and steel industry included in the first batch of pilot industries. This study attempts to explore the policy effect of emission trading on iron and steel industry in order to provide data and theoretical support for the low-carbon development of iron and steel industry as well as the optimization of carbon market. With panel data of China’s 29 provinces from 2006 to 2017, this study adopted a DEA-SBM model to measure carbon emission efficiency of China’s iron and steel industry (CEI) and a difference-in-differences (DID) method to explore the impact of emission trading on CEI. Moreover, regional heterogeneity and influencing mechanisms were further investigated, respectively. The results indicate that: (1) China's emission trading has a significant and sustained effect on carbon abatement of iron and steel industry, increasing the annual average CEI by 12.6% in pilot provinces. (2) The policy effects are heterogeneous across diverse regions. Higher impacts are found in the western and eastern regions, whereas the central region is not significant. (3) Emission trading improves CEI by stimulating technology innovation, reducing energy intensity, and adjusting energy structure. (4) Economic level and industrial structure are negatively related to CEI, while environmental governance and openness degree have no obvious impacts. Finally, according to the results and conclusions, some specific suggestions are proposed.

Reduction Potentials

To assess some technologies which are more appropriate for the development of the iron and steel industry in China, a model was developed based on the Long range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) to assess the energy saving and CO2 reduction potentials from 2010 to 2040. The results show that the top three saving energy potentials is non-blast furnace iron-making accounted for 6.85%, device enlargement for 5.85%, advanced blast furnace for 4.84%, and also show that the top three CO2 reduction potentials is device enlargement accounted for 11.7%, non-blast furnace iron-making for 6.21%, advanced coke and blast furnace 5.52%. In the Mitigation scenario, it can reduce 28% of the initial energy demand and 35.2% of CO2 emissions. It can provide a method and data for search energy saving and CO2 reduction potentials in iron and steel industry by LEAP model.

Hierarchy Process

The relations between production process and energy consumption are made an in-depth application analysis and theory study with theory of systematic energy-saving , technique of intelligence analysis and optimization based on the background of study on energy-saving and reduce energy consumption. Making intensive research on theories of systematic energy-saving and analyzed with function mechanism and quantitative relation of the main production system, auxiliary production system and energy conversion system. It put forward the energy flow direction and energy consumption in each production process and the influence of material flow on energy consumption in iron and steel industry. The sequence of all kinds of material influence comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel and energy quantitative target of all factors influence energy consumption are worked out with improved fuzzy AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) which study of comprehensive energy consumption in typical iron and steel production process from the point of system. It has great immediate significance to guide drawing the scientific plan of economy-saving and reduce energy consumption in iron and steel industry
