Empirical Decomposition and Forecast of Carbon Neutrality for High-End Equipment Manufacturing Industries

Abstract

The Chinese government focuses on the high-end equipment manufacturing industry to achieve a target of carbon neutrality. This study takes China’s Bohai Rim as a case study. First, the Tapio decoupling model was used to analyze the carbon emission status of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry in the Bohai Rim. Second, LMDI was used to determine the main factors of carbon emission. Similarly, the Monte Carlo simulation predicted the time of carbon neutrality. The results found that the relationship between carbon emission and the development of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry is that of strong decoupling, but there is still a risk of “recoupling.” The scale effect is the primary driving force for carbon emission reduction in the equipment manufacturing industry, followed by a structural effect and a carbon emission intensity effect. In the baseline scenario, low-carbon scenario, and technological breakthrough scenario, carbon neutrality will be achieved before 2060. The results of the study suggest that China should improve energy utilization efficiency and encourage green innovation.

Design (Allocation) of a Carbon Emission System—A Lesson from Power Restrictions in Zhejiang, China

“…This is to enable governments at all levels to use internal control to detect risks in a timely manner when completing the construction of the large domestic circular economy and achieving the carbon reduction goals and more effectively implement prevent prevention, in-process control, postevent supervision and correction. As revealed in previous literature, the use of new technologies like cloud computing and big data analytics [117], can assist in the improvement of internal control efficiency.…”

Cultivating Talents for Reporting Environmental News on China’s Carbon Neutrality Policy

“…Therefore, experts consider the dimension of carbon topic selection the key element. At the same time, reducing carbon emissions may involve other sciences such as nature, engineering, law, and economics [52,53]. Journalists need comprehensive social observation and the ability to work with other talents in related scientific fields with limited energy [54].…”

Enhancing Operating Efficiency in China’s High-End Equipment Manufacturing Industry: Insights from Listed Enterprises

“…Its independent innovation capacity is weak [5], and there is a high level of foreign dependence on key core technologies [6]. The level of internationalization within the industry is insufficient, with enterprises having limited ability to operate on a global scale and waste of resources [7]. Additionally, challenges such as an imperfect manufacturing innovation system and inadequate product safety measures persist.…”
