A mathematical programming approach to pollution trading / Francisco Lopez-Villarreal in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 17 (Mai 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 51 N° 17 (Mai 2012) . - pp. 5922–5931 Titre : A mathematical programming approach to pollution trading Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Francisco Lopez-Villarreal, Auteur ; Vicente Rico-Ramirez, Auteur ; Guillermo Gonzalez-Alatorre, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 5922–5931 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Pollutant  treatment  Optimization Résumé : Pollutant trading adds flexibility to the pollution abatement decision making and introduces a new alternative to policy makers and industries. The overall goal is to meet environmental conditions equal or better than those obtained through the implementation of pollutant treatment technologies, but at a lower cost. This work proposes optimization models that can guide industries in taking optimal decisions under the flexibility provided by the trading. The mathematical models, formulated as mixed-integer programming problems, are limited to watershed trading and have been implemented and solved through the GAMS modeling environment. Results include optimal decisions for each pollutant source in order to satisfy global environmental regulations. That is, either implementing one of the available pollution abatement technologies or attaining credits through trading. To assess the performance of the optimization models, we consider a mercury trading case study. A comparison among the nontrading solution and the solutions of the various pollution trading models is presented and analyzed. As the environmental constraints become more stringent, the value of the objective function (cost of technology implementation and fines) increases and the configuration of the required technologies changes to avoid high concentrations of pollutants presented in the various discharge points of the watershed.
