An equitable burden-sharing framework is essential for the successful collective efforts to cope with climate change. Various carbon emission rights allocation schemes have been proposed in the international community. This paper focuses on the comparison among different schemes with the...

This paper proposes an allocation scheme based on cumulative emission per capita to achieve a globally equitable carbon emission space. Within this scheme, each country has an equal cumulative emission per capita during the considered time period, and their annual emission per capita would reach...

We analyzed the impacts of incorporating local air quality improvement and environmental co-benefits into the climate policy and mitigation technology assessment of the cement sector in China. Local air quality can benefit from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which consequently lowers...

By reviewing the development of household biogas in China, one of the key factors which impeded the use of biogas in northern China was noted - how a biogas digester lives through the winter. In order to solve this problem, a model named "Four in one" has been proposed by some researchers. In...

This paper investigates the capacitated lot sizing problem in closed-loop supply chain considering setup costs, product returns, and remanufacturing. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer program and propose a Lagrangian relaxation-based solution approach. The resulting Lagrangian...
