Abstract: Abstract In this paper, cost of carbon emissions is integrated into multi-facility Weber problem. In order to deal with this problem well, an improved alternative location-allocation algorithm is developed. And impact of carbon emissions on location and allocation is taken into account in the algorithm. Then thus not only the cost of carbon emissions but also the total cost including the cost of both transportation and carbon emissions can be optimized. Finally, numerical analysis shows the superior quality of the algorithm. And positive significance of parameter k to improve the solution continuously is revealed.
