“…Other study conducted by Li et al (2017) to modeled CO 2 emission trend in China's primary aluminum industry to examine potential CO 2 emission trends within the industry with the application of several policies. And a study by Tang et al (2022) modeled CO 2 mitigation from several local industries to explore an optimal emission reduction by integrating regional differences. Meanwhile, study specifically in the system dynamic model for petrochemical industry conducted by Farashah et al (2021) who developed system dynamic model that describes the formulation of petrochemical industry capacity expansion.…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify all variables and parameters related to business and emission within the petrochemical industry. The variables and parameters specified will be modeled into a system dynamic model that will be a baseline for the proposed best scenario(s) to address the business issue related to emission reduction in the petrochemical industry. Design/methodology/approach Literature review and stakeholder interviews were conducted to define the key factors contributing to the emission reduction of the petrochemical industry. The key factors are then developed into a system dynamic model to measure the quantitative impact of changes in those variables on emission and industry profitability. Findings This paper provides an analysis of system dynamic model. It suggests that process optimization can lead to a slight amount reduction in emissions. In contrast, a significant reduction shows in the simulation result of bio-based feedstock utilization and implementation of advanced technology. To sustain the emission reduction, strong commitment from stakeholders and support from the government will play an important role. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to problem analysis of the primary product (high-value chemical) of the petrochemical industry by only considering the changes in the key factors of emission reduction. Practical implications This paper includes implications for interventions that can be imposed to reduce emission while retaining the business profitability. Originality/value The contribution of this study is to find the best scenario that can boost emission reduction within Indonesia’s petrochemical industry.

The ever-increasing global demand for energy, oil production/supply and the necessity for alternative approaches regarding energy harvesting have opened a deeper horizon for natural gas utilization. The complexity of the demand–supply match of natural gas and the lack of an optimal pattern of energy consumption have been daunting tasks for the energy decision-makers in the last century. Although laws regarding energy efficiency are formulated and even implemented in some cases, there was no benchmarking analysis which takes all useful indexes into account until recently. However, in this article, by identifying the factors affecting the pattern of gas consumption through the system dynamic approach, regulations associated with productivity are assessed. For this, a regional dynamic integrated gas model is developed. The model effectiveness in handling the system dynamism and various scenarios are investigated through a real case study in Yazd—a central province of Iran—to ascertain the proposed approach. The results show that the developed targeted subsidy law is effective in the household sector. Despite the fact that the thorough implementation of the energy efficiency regulations has positive environmental and economic impacts, these regulations have not been fully implemented in many cases and do not have the required efficiency in the industry sector.

“…In the model development, the CO 2 emission process of each selected industry is analyzed using our regional-based system dynamics model to determine the influencing variables and their relationships from the local and outside the region. The model is based on our recent study (Tang et al, 2020). Data related to Chongqing's population, industrial development, current government policies and regional development statistic are collected.…”
