Abstract

In the process of building materials production, the use of cement raw meal grinding aid technology, infrared high-radiation energy-saving coating for glass melting furnaces, and new ceramic integrated powder making technology can effectively reduce energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. At present, China's carbon trading only includes power generation industry, but high-intensive industries such as building materials have been considered to be included in the carbon market. By the use of energy-saving technology to reduce carbon emissions, building materials enterprises participate in the carbon trading market, can realize the value of carbon assets. Based on the advanced energy saving technology in the building materials industry, this paper studies the influence of technology diffusion on the participation of building materials enterprises in carbon trading. The results show that the stock building materials mills choose the technical transformation under the loose quota allocation, and the new technology application of the incremental building materials mills under the tightened quota allocation. In the early stage of the operation of the carbon market, loose quotas should be implemented to realize the technical transformation and energy efficiency improvement of the stock building materials plants, and the quota can be gradually tightened with the maturity of the market operation
