“…To combat global warming, many countries have adopted diverse policy measures [28]. There are many classifications of GHG emission reduction policies related to the building sector; these can be broadly classified into mandatory systems, incentive policies, and GHG-pricing-based emission reduction policies.…”

The optimization design of buildings is very important to the energy consumption, carbon emissions, and sustainable development of buildings. The low-temperature granary has a low grain storage temperature and high energy consumption indexes. The design scheme of the roof insulation for a low-temperature granary should be determined in actual building design processes by considering the costs, carbon emissions, and outdoor climate, comprehensively. In this paper, a new low-carbon optimization design method is proposed for the roof insulation in the low-temperature granary. The low-carbon optimization design method can respond to the cost issue, emission reduction issue, and outdoor climate issue, simultaneously. Moreover, the low-temperature granary roof insulation of different ecological grain storage zones in China is optimized in terms of carbon reduction by using the proposed low-carbon optimization design method. The application results of the optimization design method in different ecological grain storage zones in China indicate that the outdoor climate has significant impacts on the economic performance and carbon reduction effect of roof insulation. The cost considerations related to carbon emissions can apparently increase the economic efficiency of roof insulation. The optimal economic thicknesses of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the cities of Urumqi, Harbin, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Guiyang, and Haikou are 0.025 m, 0.037 m, 0.085 m, 0.097 m, 0.072 m, and 0.148 m, respectively. The different outdoor climates of the seven ecological grain storage areas in China have important influences on the comprehensive economic performances of low-temperature granary roof insulation. The design of the low-temperature granary roof insulation in Haikou city has the best economic performance among the seven ecological grain storage zones in China.

Policy‐making in improving the quality of the environment and social welfare and increasing the rate of economic growth to achieve sustainable development has been considered by policymakers in recent years. Punitive policies such as taxes on fossil energy consumption and incentive policies such as subsidies for investment in research and development are among the policies used to achieve sustainable development goals. In this study, using a computable general equilibrium model, two scenarios of subsidy to investment in research and development and subsidy with the taxation of fossil fuels, to double the ratio of investment in research and development GDP have been considered. First, the subsidy rate required to invest in research and development to achieve this goal is determined, and then, the economic, welfare, and environmental effects of the policies implemented are examined. This study shows that in the first scenario, the subsidy rate required to invest in research and development to achieve this goal is 10.74% and in the second scenario is 10.21%. Meanwhile, the required tax rate in the second scenario is estimated at 2.5% of fossil energy consumption. The results show that both the fossil energy tax policy and the research and development subsidy policy are able to reduce energy consumption, air pollution, and social welfare. The reduction in welfare in both scenarios is regardless of the social benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

“…In recent years, many researches came up with different solution integrating the policies with mathematical models (Netter et al, 2019;Kauffman and Naldi, 2020;Zhou et al, 2018; Effect of carbon tax Khastar et al, 2020) in hope to reduce the levels of CO 2 emitted along with alleviating the tax to be paid for the carbon footprint by industries, but the implementation of the proposed models is lacking because of insufficient resources like capital, infrastructure, technology, manpower and support from governments. Theories are stating that sharing network can reduce the emissions of CO 2 but are not clear in providing a proper mathematical model and simulation for the industries/firms in sharing network.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of current carbon tax (CT) policy on organizations involved in a sharing network relation. Design/methodology/approach For finding the CT and economic value of the industries connected in a sharing network model a multi-objective multi-integer linear model has been formulated. The data set of the case organization is used for computation. The formulated mathematical model is computed with the aid of GAMS optimization program. Findings This research paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the sharing network strategy in increasing the economic value and decreasing the CT for industries involved in sharing network. The CT value INR 3,012.694 for the industries in Scenario II which incorporates the sharing network is less than the CT INR 3,580.167 for industries in Scenario I without sharing network. Research limitations/implications The data used for the computation is based on a particular sharing network under investigation. The formulated mathematical model can be checked with similar sharing networks by varying the parameters. Practical implications This work can aid in gaining complete knowledge on the sharing network strategy which can uplift the resources and the monetary value of the non-efficient industries moving them towards sustainable and greener supply chain practices. Social implications The presented work can impact various industries in developing countries providing them with a strategy to enhance their resources and economic value by maintaining an amicable relation. Originality/value This work uniquely was able to validate economic feasibility and CT in accordance with the carbon footprint involved in sharing network. This sharing network also incorporates the concepts of circular economy and reverse logistics for showcasing a better strategy.
