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.

Purpose There are certain differences in the production products of enterprises. What are the impacts of product differentiation on the iron and steel industry? Based on the macro background of CO2 emission reduction, this paper aims to analyze the economic benefits and environmental changes of the iron and steel industry under the dual influence of CO2 emission reduction policy and product differentiation policy. Design/methodology/approach Taking the basic data of iron and steel industry in six regions of China as an example, this paper constructed an extended two-stage dynamic game model to analyze the impact of product differentiation and carbon tax policy on the production, economic indicators and CO2 emission levels for the overall industry and regional enterprises. Findings As the CO2 emission reduction target increased, the unit carbon tax and total tax increased, whereas the macro-environmental losses, social welfare, consumer surplus and outputs decrease. Emission reduction pressures and other economic indicators showed obvious regional differences. Differentiated products promoted various indicators of enterprises and industries; higher degrees of product differentiation resulted in greater promoting effects on economic indicators. Originality/value This paper constructed multiple emission reduction and production backgrounds, and discusses the impact of the comprehensive implementation of these policies, which has been practically absent in previous studies. The results of this study are consistent with the current industrial policy for stable production and environmental protection, and also provides a reference for the formulation of detailed policies in the future.

Abstract As carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become a global consensus, more and more countries have introduced relevant policies to adapt to their own countries and formulated corresponding time roadmap. The industrial sector, especially the steel sector, which produces high levels of pollution and carbon emissions, is facing significant pressure to transform its operations to reduce CO2 emissions. Previous studies have shown the importance of financial development (FD) in environmental protection, however, the impact of FD on the CO2 emissions of the steel sector is ignored. This paper examines the impact of FD on the CO2 emissions of the iron and steel industry from a global perspective using comprehensive panel data from a total of 30 countries during the period from 1990 to 2018. Empirical results show that an improved level of FD in a given country reduces the CO2 emissions of the iron and steel industry. Our results also show that the effect of FD on reducing the CO2 emissions of the iron and steel industry in developing countries is less than its effect in developed countries. Estimation results also show the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in the iron and steel industry. The mechanism analysis indicates that FD promotes the upgrading of the structure of the iron and steel industry and the reduction of the CO2 emissions by means of the three-stage least square method. Finally, we discuss the policy implications of achieving carbon neutrality in the steel sector.

The article discusses the iron and steel industry of the Second Polish Republic. It starts with an assessment of the state of the sector at the beginning of independence, and the impact of incorporating parts of Silesia into the country, in particular in terms of available resources. While local coal was fit for processing into coke, special types of coal needed to be imported. The situation improved after the occupation of Zaolzie. Apart from prospecting works, the article explores investment processes in the sector, and the creation of conglomerates
