Abstract

The price of carbon emission allowance directly affects the enthusiasm of market entities to participate in carbon trading, and the application of blockchain will affect the carbon emission allowance price. In this study, the pricing model of carbon emission allowance is constructed and the pricing strategies of carbon emission allowance in the common carbon trading platform (CCTP) and blockchain carbon trading platform (BCTP) are discussed. The results show that emission reduction enterprises and speculators need to dynamically adjust their pricing strategies according to the purchaser preference, historical transaction price, the amount of platform's supervision and service, commission rate and competitors' strategies to ensure their own income maximisation. The deployment of blockchain on the platform can improve the supervision and service, and enable carbon trading to form the optimal transaction price under the free competition of the market. This research provides inspiration for participants of carbon trading system.
