Research On Coal-to-gas-natural Gas Substitution Behavior Of High-energy-consuming Enterprises

Energy is the driving force and support for the development of the national economy.It is an important material basis and plays a catalytic role in the rapid development of the industrial economy.China's energy consumption is divided into industrial,civilian,transportation,agriculture,commerce,construction,and other industries by sector.Among them,industry and transportation are high energy-consuming industries.This article focuses on high-energy-consuming enterprises that use coal-based gas or natural gas as their main fuel source,focusing on industries such as coal,electricity,chemicals,and building materials(glass,cement,and ceramics).Due to coal-based energy consumption patterns of energy-intensive companies,environmental problems such as acid rain pollution,worrying air quality,and soil erosion have not only been caused,but also have low thermal efficiency and high energy consumption per unit of product in the coal burning process.The survival and development of high-energy-consuming enterprises is contrary to China's goal of promoting energy conservation and environmental protection and reducing energy consumption.Therefore,high energy-consuming enterprises continue to use the existing energy consumption mode,which not only does not allow environmental capacity,but also adversely affects the development of the company itself.It can be seen that based on the urgency of eco-environmental governance and the requirements for sustainable economic development,the use of clean energy for high-energy-consuming enterprises to replace inferior energy is an important measure for governance of the ecological environment,improvement of energy efficiency,and improvement of corporate competitiveness in the coming period.However,in recent years,some high-energy-consuming enterprises in some regions have been driven by profits,leading to the emergence of a counter-replacement phenomenon in which coal gas replaces natural gas.This has caused the opposite of energy-construction decision-making by the state.Therefore,based on the study of related literature,this article first analyzes the important factors affecting energy substitution based on the history of energy consumption development and the current state of China's energy consumption,and rationally considers the objective reasons for the occurrence of energy retroversion.Secondly,in order to explore the corporate energy selection process and the motivation of energy decision-making,based on the perspective of energy substitution,the application of behavioral decision theory and game theory,the combination of normative research and empirical analysis,qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis,through systematic research and rationality thinking about establishing a coal gas-natural gas alternative behavior decision-making model for four high-energy-consuming enterprises:Coal gas-natural gas alternative behavior decision-making model for high energy-consuming enterprises under profit maximization,An alternative model for coal gas and natural gas replacement in high-energy-consuming enterprises,A decision model for alternative behaviors of coal gas and natural gas in high-energy-consuming enterprises considering environmental costs,Considering policy-oriented energy-consuming enterprises' decision-making model for alternative behaviors of coal gas and natural gas.Finally,from the perspective of high-energy-consuming companies and governments,relevant proposals for corporate energy consumption options and government energy consumption policy recommendations are proposed.The research results have good reference value for enterprise decision-making and the government to issue relevant policies.
