This paper analyzed the background of developing low economy in China, included restricts and advantages. China is the world’s largest carbon emitter and its emissions continue to rise with rapid growth. The most important is that coal will continue to dominate China's energy mix for decades to come. The measures to reduce carbon emissions mainly include laws and regulations, carbon taxes or carbon trading, subsidies or tax cuts on clean production, technological innovation. Low carbon economy is an important growth point sustainable development.

With the rising of fuel prices, the gradual depletion of conventional energy sources and the development of low-carbon economy, it has been paid more attention to energy effective utilization and new energy using. In this paper, considering the hybrid power of solar and diesel engine, the economy and carbon emissions of ocean-going fishing vessels are analyzed and studied. The characteristics of energy consumption and operating costs are discussed for ocean-going fishing vessels. The carbon emission calculation methods are introduced. Based on thus, taking the NPV and CO2e as measurement indicators, considering the different solar panel surfaces and the growth rate of fuel prices, the energy constitution for solar hybrid power of Ocean-going fishing vessels are researched, thus can provide the useful reference for the construction of carbon trading system.

A key issue within the emissions trading system is how tradable emissions permits (TEPs) are initially allocated among a set of entities. This study proposes an approach based on the proportional allocation concept to allocate TEPs among a set of decision making units (DMUs). We firstly deduce a TEP allocation set based on the rule that the TEPs allocated to DMUs should be proportional to their environmental contribution. We then obtain the allocation intervals of DMUs from the set, expressing the allocation as the convex combination between the upper and the lower bound. Finally, we define the satisfaction degree as the coefficient of the convex combination, and propose an algorithm based on the max-min fairness of satisfaction degrees to obtain a unique TEP allocation plan. To illustrate our approach, we provide the example of how TEPs are allocated among 30 provincial administrative regions in China. Our findings indicate that our allocation method can be helpful for achieving a saving in energy consumption and reducing emissions. In addition, from the data envelopment analysis perspective, the TEP allocation set can ensure that both each individual DMU and the organization as a whole become efficient under a common set of variable weights.

System dynamics was used to analyze the Low-carbon economy in Hunan province form the perspective of economic, social, energy and environmental. Based on the analysis of the subsystems characteristics and internal factors affect between the various subsystems constructed Low-carbon economy system dynamics model in Hunan province was build. Constraint and exogenous variables analysis based on the model structure was taken. And from the perspective of economic planning, the policy system of low carbon economy and carbon trading and carbon compensation system, offered proposals for the promotion of Low-carbon economy in Hunan province.

In recent years, the world economy towards in the direction of low-carbon economy, which creates a new environment for the economic development. It is imperative to solve the problem of climate and develop low-carbon economy. This article mainly utilizes the literature material law, the comparative analysis, and the SWOT analysis. Firstly, this paper briefly introduces the international carbon trading market, the characteristics of the development of a global carbon market. Secondly, it uses the SWOT analysis to analyze the present situation of Chinese economic development under low-carbon economy. Finally, the author sums up enlightenments of the international carbon trading on China's economic development.

Heavy industry would consume a lot of energy and make serious pollution, so it is important to develop a low-carbon economy for the need of not only changing the mode of economic development, but also building an ecological city. However, in the process of developing a low-carbon economy, there are many problems such as slowly development of carbon alternative industry, backward technology level, short of financing method for low-carbon economy. Therefore, it is important to accelerate the transformation of resource-based cities, promote the recycling of resources, develop alternative and renewable energy resources, improve the financing environment for low-carbon economy, and improve the development of carbon trading.

An emission trading system (ETS) is a powerful emission reduction tool for achieving low-carbon economic development in the world. Focusing on the industrial subsectors, this paper comprehensively analyzes the environmental and economic effects of the pilot ETS in China from the perspectives of economic development, technological optimization, and innovation-driven development by using the propensity score matching–difference in differences (PSM-DID) model based on 2005–2017 provincial panel data. This paper compensates for the limitations of existing studies on the effects of ETS on different subsectors; furthermore, the triple difference model (DDD) model is used to discuss the impacts of differences in environmental responsibility and economic potential among subsectors on policy effects. The empirical results show that: (1) The pilot ETS produces a 14.5% carbon reduction effect on the covered subsectors while reducing GDP by 4.8% without achieving a low-carbon economy. Thus, production decline is the main reason for carbon emission reductions. (2) Economic development factors have significant positive impacts on carbon emissions, while technological optimization and innovation-driven development are key factors for achieving reductions in carbon emissions. (3) The pilot ETS produces a 60.1% carbon emission inhibition effect and 23.2% GDP inhibition effect on the subsectors with greater environmental responsibility. Therefore, the Chinese government should fully simulate the impact of technological innovation and utilize resource endowment differences in the environmental and economic aspects of different sectors to achieve low-carbon economic development.

Controlling CO2 emissions without hindering economic development is a major challenge for China. Carbon barrier is a new trade barrier related with carbon trading, which will be a new tool of protectionism in foreign trade. This article expounds the relationship between international trade and economic growth by a standard trade model, analyzes the impact on trade and economic growth of carbon barrier by join a new variable in the model. We suggest that China should create a favorable international environment, draw up carbon trading policies and regulations, actively participate in international carbon trading, fight for pricing by boosting domestic carbon trading market, and take an active and effective adjustment of its industrial structure, increasing the share of service trade as well as other low-carbon forms and methods of trade to cope with the challenge.
