Abstrak

Energy-intensive industries play a critical role in achieving carbon reduction goals. This paper proposes a quantitative evaluation model for Marginal Abatement Costs (MACs) and carbon reduction potential, enabling scientific assessment of abatement costs and capabilities. Building on this model, a comprehensive assessment framework is further introduced, integrating both economic and environmental dimensions through novel indicators such as the baseline MAC and the carbon reduction index. Using 2022 data on carbon reduction technologies and industrial carbon emissions from China’s steel, cement, petrochemical, power, and coal industries, an empirical analysis is conducted. The results reveal clear differences in abatement capabilities across industries, offering valuable insights for developing targeted low-carbon transition strategies in energy-intensive industries.
