ABSTRACT

In September 2020, China clearly proposed to reach the goal of "carbon peak" in 2030 and "carbon neutral" in 2060 (hereinafter referred to as the "double carbon goal"). This is China's responsibility for environmental protection as an international power and an inevitable choice to achieve sustainable development in China. Based on the analysis of the impact of the "double carbon" target on China's petrochemical enterprises, this paper analyzes the three dimensions of environmental costs of petrochemical enterprises, i.e., the ex ante costs, the ex post costs and the ex post costs, and evaluates them respectively, and finally proposes a solution path, with a view to providing ideas and references for petrochemical enterprises to reduce their environmental costs. In order to provide ideas and references for petrochemical enterprises to reduce environmental costs.
