AbstractThis paper studies the optimal low carbon production decision system with considered the constraints of carbon emission reduction policy for manufacturing enterprises producing two kinds of products in the free market. Firstly, The research proved the optimal production combination exists and it is unique under the carbon emissions limits, and next, the research analyzed the low-carbon production decision-making system in three situations, which are carbon emission trade decision, green technology input decision, and joint decision. The research results showed that carbon emission permits trade can increase more flexibility to manufacturing enterprises and increase their profits as well. However, the carbon emissions limits set by the government would have an important impact on the production decision system of manufacturing enterprises. Carbon emission permits trade and green technology investment can optimize and improve the production decision system of manufacturing enterprises to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the government's scientific and reasonable formulation of initial carbon quotas would mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of manufacturing enterprises to participate in carbon emission reduction. The government should also guide and encourage enterprises to invest in and develop low-carbon emission reduction technologies through tax relief, so as to improve carbon emission reduction technologies and its innovations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
