Abstract: Energy consumption and carbon emission levels in the production process constitute an important basis for the selection of production equipment. The energy consumption and carbon emission levels of the same product produced by different kinds equipment vary greatly from one tool to another. Unfortunately, traditional modes of selection only give qualitative results, so that it is difficult to provide a quantitative reference to enable enterprises to choose appropriate modes of production in the context of the green development concept (GDC). In order to solve this problem, a calculation method for multiple energy consumption and carbon-emission objectives for commodity production is proposed. The focus of this paper is to research the difference between the energy consumption and carbon emission levels of the same product produced by different kinds of equipment. The energy consumption and carbon emissions of different kinds of equipment can be calculated by gray wolf algorithm. The results show that the proposed method can calculate the optimal values of energy consumption and carbon emissions in the same kinds of products produced by different equipment, which can provide assistance for enterprises in choosing the production equipment that best conforms to the green development concept.
