The foundry sector and the automotive sector are a source of greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the relationships and dynamics between the two sectors allows designing better strategies that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emission levels and thus achieve mitigation of climate change. Given that the dynamics of a sector are influenced by its own dynamics and the dynamics of the other, also subject to growth limits, the objective of this document is to design a system that represents the interaction between the steel foundry sector and the automotive sector, which allows to identify the dynamics in terms of generation of greenhouse gases.
The results show interdependence between the sectors, which is determined by the dynamics of economic growth and has an impact on higher CO2 levels. In addition, the dynamic hypothesis proposed is true, which allows us to establish that economic growth can be associated with higher levels of CO2 emission. Modeling with complex dynamics is essential to understand the dynamics and interrelationships between sectors and their impact on the levels of greenhouse gases, which allows a better design of the measures that seek to reduce the levels of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
