Abstract: This paper deals with a production model involving one manufacturer who produces two products. One product adopts green technology and we term the product as 'green' product, and the other product, with regular production technique, termed 'regular' product. In this paper, we formulate models to examine the impact of production for two products under cap-and-trade policy. Analytical results are obtained: with cap-and-trade policy, the manufacture's maximum quantity for product 1 and product 2 is lower than the case without carbon emission constraint, and the expected profit of the manufacturer under this situation depends on initial allowance. To cope with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, firms are required to apply some green technologies to produce 'greener' products. General economics concepts are achieved. That is, the green technology input could improve the manufacture's normal product quantities and expected profit to some degree.
