AI-assisted bilevel optimization for sustainable maritime operations under the EU emissions trading system: model-implied carbon-cost signals and shipping network response
The accelerating implementation of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) demands innovative strategies for maritime decarbonization. This study introduces an AI-assisted bilevel optimization framework, integrating Bayesian Optimization (BO) and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP), to model the complex interplay of carbon pricing, policy support, and shipping network responses. Results demonstrate a representative policy can reduce emissions by up to 32.94% while maintaining cost efficiency, showcasing the framework’s sample efficiency and practical value for informed policy design.
