摘要

This study examines the barriers to implementing net zero carbon emissions in the coal supply chain, focusing on emerging economy India. The study identified 33 barriers to implementing net zero carbon emissions and categorized them into seven main groups: Infrastructure, Technology, Management, Financial, Legislation, Society, and Communication. The identified barriers were analysed using a hybrid multi criteria decision making methodology, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), to assess, analyse, and prioritize these barriers. The analysis of the barriers using AHP reveals that infrastructure-related barriers are the most significant hurdles in net-zero implementation, followed by technology-related barriers. Further analysis of the selected barriers using DEMATEL classified the barriers into cause-and-effect categories. A key finding of this study is that innovation and research in technology emerge as the main barriers to the Indian coal supply chain adoption of net zero, followed by hefty upfront costs. The results of the analysis emphasize the need of creative thinking and investment in carbon-efficient technologies to create environmentally friendly supply chain models. The findings offer significant insights for policymakers and industry leaders endeavouring towards carbon neutrality in the coal sector by highlighting areas that require immediate attention and investment.
