The third option is to implement an emission trading scheme – to create a carbon market. In this scenario, companies buy and sell the ‘right to pollute’ from each other. Pretty much everything we buy has a carbon footprint. Consider a car. It took about a tonne of steel to build i...
Emission trading is a market-driven method to more quickly reduce carbon intensity, and has been widely used in countries with significant carbon emissions.

The appropriate design of the emission trading scheme (ETS) plays a crucial role in promoting companies to conduct low-carbon technological innovations. Based on a questionnaire survey, this paper examines how the design of the ETS and identified determinants have impacted corporate low-carbon technolo...
Second, the government can further develop "negative regulation" measures, establishing carbon emission trading markets, conducting regular environmental audits, and publicly disclosing carbon emission data. Specifically, concerning the promotion of CER behaviour in building enterprises, the simulation results...
