“…By 2020, 27 countries or regions have implemented carbon taxes worldwide (Carroll & Stevens, 2021). Among them, Finland may be the first country in the world to impose a carbon tax on households and businesses (Jia, Lin, & Liu, 2023). In addition, there are differences in carbon tax rates between countries.…”

Finding the balance between economy and low emission of an integrated energy system (IES) has become one of the current research hotspots. This article introduces the carbon tax and carbon capture (storage) technology within the framework of the IES model. The IES comprises of components such as combined heat and power units equipped with carbon capture facilities, wind power generators, photovoltaic panels, and energy storage systems. The objective function of the model is the minimization of operational costs. Low-carbon economic operation dispatching problem under the constraints of energy conversion, energy balance, and operation cost is studied based on a mix-integer linear programming model. Through sensitivity analysis, this study explores the impact of varying carbon tax levels on the operational costs and emissions of an IES while considering peak and valley price differences. The emission reduction potential of the IES under different policy and technology scenarios is also estimated.

China has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, primarily focusing on reducing carbon intensity. Understanding the regional embodied carbon emissions is critical for managing carbon efficiency and carbon equity in this process. Using the input-output and SBM-DEA models, this article first calculates China's regional embodied carbon emissions. The results reveal substantial carbon transfers between China's different regions. Therefore, designing reduction pathways solely based on production-based carbon emissions raises fairness concerns. To address this, this article employs the SBM-DEA model to calculate the regional reduction potential and marginal abatement costs using the regional embodied carbon emissions and optimize China's pathways of regional carbon emission reduction. The new pathways consider consumption-based reduction potential, marginal abatement cost, and reduction equity, and are all in line with China's carbon reduction target. These schemes are of practical significance for China to develop a more efficient and equitable regional emission reduction plan.
