Abstract

To enhance the environmental benefits of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) in coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), the government has implemented carbon trading and tax policies. These policies aim to encourage green technological innovations in these plants. Consequently, CFPPs have increased their investments in emission reduction and carbon capture technologies, alongside accumulating knowledge from these investments. Understanding the relationship between these technology inputs is crucial to help plants balance their efforts and to guide government regulation to foster green innovation. This paper constructs a dynamic optimal control model that incorporates the dual carbon policy’s impact on emission reduction and carbon capture technology inputs, factoring in knowledge accumulation. It examines changes in inputs and benefits under profit and social welfare optimization. A comparative analysis using numerical simulation reveals that the two inputs have a complementary substitution effect, knowledge accumulation enhances input stability, and social incentives are more effective than monopoly incentives. Additionally, the impact of carbon trading and tax policies on these inputs varies with policy intensity.
