Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ecosystem sustainability is quite important to social and economic development. But it has been threatened by indiscriminate carbon emissions and environmental pollution in recent decades. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, China proposed the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" in 2020 to achieve the highest quality and cleanest development. Therefore, how to accelerate industrial energy upgrading through technological transformation to achieve sustainable development has become an important issue of concern. To achieve a new development pattern in the energy economy and ensure sustainable environmental development, "Energies" seeks to publish high-quality articles to help understand the role of the energy industry in environmental sustainable development.

The Special Issue will consider all aspects of energy economics and environmental protection. Indicative topics for this special issue could be but are not limited to the following:

Energy consumption and green technology innovation;

Evaluation of the effectiveness of environmental policies;

The impact of energy use on the environment and climate;

Environmental policy and energy equity;

Financial instruments supporting energy transformation;

A new economic growth model towards carbon neutrality;

Energy security and energy efficiency;

Digital development & carbon emission& environment protection;

Climate change and inequality.

As the international community attaches importance to environmental and climate issues, carbon dioxide emissions in various countries have been subject to constraints and limits. The carbon trading market, as a market tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, has gone through a development process from a pilot carbon market to a national carbon market in China. At present, the industries included in the national carbon market are mainly the electric power industry, and the carbon emissions of the electric power industry account for about 40% of the national carbon emissions. According to the construction history of foreign carbon markets, China’s future carbon quota allocation will gradually transition from free allocation to auction allocation, and the auction mechanism will bring a heavy economic burden to the electric power industry, especially the thermal power generation industry. Therefore, this study takes Guangdong Province as an example to optimize the power generation mix with the objective of minimizing the total economic cost after the innovative introduction of the carbon quota auction mechanism, constructs an optimization model of the power generation mix based on the auction ratio by comprehensively applying the system dynamics model and the multi-objective linear programming model, systematically researches the power generation structure under different auction ratios with the time scale of months, and quantitatively evaluates the economic inputs needed to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. The results of the study show that after comprehensively comparing the total economic cost, renewable energy development, and carbon emissions, it is the most scientific and reasonable to set the auction ratio of carbon allowances at 20%, which achieves the best level of economic and environmental benefits.

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which is regarded as the EU’s key policy tool to address carbon leakage, might have a non-negligible impact on China’s exports, as China is an important trading partner for the EU’s carbon-intensive products. This paper uses the GTAP-E model to simulate the impact of the EU CBAM on China’s exports to the EU from four aspects, export price, trade structure, trade value and terms of trade, by setting up multiple scenarios. The results show that the EU CBAM reduces the export prices of China’s taxed sectors to the EU, and that the export prices of other sectors show the same change characteristics. The export volume of China’s taxed sectors decreases differently with the export transfer effect and export inhibition effect. In terms of trade value, the EU carbon tariffs not only reduce China’s export value but also lead to a reduction in EU exports. The implementation of the EU CBAM improves the terms of trade of the EU and worsens the terms of trade of China. An expansion of the scope of taxation and a change in the calculation method of carbon emissions would aggravate the change in the terms of trade. The results suggest that feasible measures should be taken to strengthen international cooperation, promote the construction of a unified national carbon market and export diversification, and establish a firm carbon emission accounting system in order to mitigate the negative impact of the EU CBAM.
