The major obstacle to reducing carbon emissions is the high cost of adopting clean energy, which reduces the market competitiveness of companies using clean energy. In this paper, we study the asymmetric duopoly models of two competing supply chains with different carbon emission technology. The financing risk of the supply chain's carbon emission technology investment could be available as complete or incomplete information to its competitor. We find that the financing risk of carbon emission technology upgradation does not affect either chain's choices of equilibrium quantities and prices in the complete information case. If this information is incomplete for the traditional supply chain, financing risk plays an important role in determining optimal quantities and optimal prices. To encourage the use of clean energy technology to reduce carbon emissions, government should use the per-product carbon emission tax to encourage the traditional supply chain to upgrade its carbon emission technology, and should encourage financial institutions to provide preferential loans to the supply chain that has carbon emission technology disadvantage in the market.
1. Introduction
In practice, many manufacturing or retailing firms in the supply chains that adopting cleaner technology always struggle in the cost disadvantage, which reduces their market competitiveness and impede the reduction of carbon emissions. More often, those supply chains normally have the difficulties in getting sufficient funds to upgrade their carbon emission technology, which restricts the realization of the scale effect of adopting cleaner technology; on the other side, financial institutions lack the incentives to lend loans to those supply chains with new carbon emission technology, because of their cost disadvantage in market competition. The vicious circle may cause green supply chains to disappear in those intensively competitive markets, and chains may be left with no incentive to adopt environmentally friendly technologies. To promote the use of clean energy technology to reduce carbon emissions, government should consider imposing some policies to supply chains.
6. Conclusions
In this paper, we introduced the Cournot competition model of two supply chains with asymmetric carbon emission technology as the benchmark, and discussed the effect of a per-product carbon emission tax to deal with the problem of carbon emission from the traditional supply chains. We then added the financing risk about carbon emission technology investment into the benchmark model. The financing risk of one supply chain's carbon emission technology investment could be available as complete or incomplete information to its competitor. We find that, in the complete information case, the financing risk of carbon emission technology upgradation does not affect the choices of optimal quantities and optimal prices, because both chains can observe the outcome of the loan application. If this information is incomplete, the financing risk plays an important role in the determination of optimal quantities and optimal prices. In either case, the supply chain benefits from the preferential loan, which could increase its probability of getting the loan for carbon emission technology investment.
