Abstract

Under the guidance of the “dual carbon” strategic goals, high-energy-consuming industrial parks, as the main carriers of industrial energy consumption and carbon emissions, are confronted with multiple challenges such as low energy utilization efficiency, increasingly strict carbon emission constraints, and slow policy responses. Traditional single governance approaches are unable to effectively coordinate the complex relationships among government regulation, power resource allocation, and carbon market mechanisms, thus there is an urgent need to establish a multi-dimensional mechanism coupling system optimization model. This paper focuses on the three-dimensional synergy of “government-electricity-carbon”, and constructs a collaborative optimization mechanism centered on the management organization layer, power system layer, and carbon flow network layer, exploring the path to achieve the maximization of resource allocation efficiency and the coordinated attainment of carbon emission control targets in high-energy-consuming industrial parks. To verify the feasibility of the mechanism, this paper takes the high-energy-consuming industrial park of Henan Luoyang Petrochemical as a case, and conducts simulation and comparative analysis based on on-site energy consumption and emission data. The research results show that this mechanism strengthens the dynamic regulatory role of government policies, enhances the response flexibility of the power system and the price discovery function of the carbon market. It not only provides theoretical support and practical paths for the low-carbon development of high-energy-consuming industrial parks, but also has significant practical significance and promotion value for achieving the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals within the regional scope.
