Steel is one of the main industries emitting carbon and greenhouse gases; therefore, the need for policy-making to reduce carbon emissions is of global concern. The carbon trading industry is an environmental policy based on the market and is a substitute incentive structure designed to create an incentive for reducing emissions by imposing carbon costs. This policy operates through the allocation of carbon emission quotas to trading companies and internalizing the external costs of environmental pollution in the pricing mechanism for reducing carbon emissions. This article models the carbon trading market between Iran and some of its main trading partners (China, India, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates) during the period from 2015 to 2050 to evaluate its impact on the production, pricing, exports, and imports of Iran's iron and steel industry.
Carbon Challenge
The article discusses the need for carbon emission reduction policies in Iran's steel industry, highlighting the significance of carbon trading as a market-based solution. It models the carbon trading market between Iran and key trading partners to assess its potential impact on the iron and steel sector. This is crucial for understanding Iran's economic strategies in response to global environmental concerns.
