Carbon dioxide (CO2) and multi-pollutant emission reduction synergy and path management methods are the key scientific issues in the international response to climate change and improvement of ecological environment quality management. Key sectors, such as industrial and power sectors, are the main sources of CO2 and pollutants, and their synergistic effects of carbon reduction and pollution reduction have received widespread attention. However, the scientific understanding of "synergistic effects" is insufficient due to complex technological processes for industry carbon reduction and pollution reduction, unclear emission synergy mechanisms, large parameter uncertainty, and multi environmental management targets. The scientific connotation of the "synergistic effect" of industry carbon reduction and pollution reduction is first summarized in this study, which includes both positive "symbiotic benefits" and negative "conflict relationships", providing a theoretical basis for the synergistic management of CO2 reduction and pollution reduction. Secondly, the inherent mechanism and numerical characterization methods of the synergistic effect of CO2 reduction and pollution reduction have been systematically analyzed. The applicability and scientificity of high-dimensional multi-objective optimization methods in supporting carbon reduction and pollution reduction management decisions have been explored. Finally, key scientific issues that need to be paid attention to in future industry CO2 reduction and pollution reduction research have been proposed, in order to provide reference basis for the formulation of CO2 reduction and pollution reduction related policies in China. |
