  • Abstract
    Abstract: Issues concerning greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and global warming have received a great deal of attentions in the recent years. Power sector is one of the largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO 2). It is well-known that the higher the usage ofpower load, the more emission would be. In this paper we consider the load of electrical power that was caused by industry. We purpose an optimization model that would decide the level of industrial productivity in such a way that CO2 emission is minimized while considering the level of profitability of industries.
