Abstract This paper integrates input-output model with agent-based simulation, in which an input-output model with 17 sectors is established at the macro economy level, and an agent-based model is developed simulating firms’ innovations in each sector at the micro economy level. The emergency of industrial structure evolution,energy consumption change and carbon emission change at the macro level are driven by innovations of firm agents. Results show that due to the uncertainty of innovation, the peak years of energy and emission are also uncertain. The energy peak year will subject to a normal distribution from 2025 to 2036; while the distribution of emission peak year is also identified as a normal distribution from 2024 to 2033. The year with the maximum probability for energy peak will be 2031 with the probability of 23.57%; and 2029 will be the year with the maximum probability 33.51% for emission peak. Taking the average of 50 simulations, it is indicated that the energy peak will be 5146Mtce in 2029, and the emission peak will be 2.7GtC in 2029.
