This course focuses on addressing climate change by integrating of technological, economic, and management approaches to support the achievement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. It provides a systematic exploration of carbon-intensive industries—such as power, steel, cement, construction, and transportation—covering their current development status, key production processes, and advanced low-carbon technologies. By combining principles from engineering, economics, and management, the course examines methods for managing and evaluating carbon reduction technologies. It also incorporates both domestic and international low-carbon policies and case studies to guide students in optimizing technological pathways within carbon-intensive industries and enhancing students’ technical management capabilities.
