A big national carbon market will be a big deal for everyone

The national carbon market, which is scheduled to start in 2017, will finally show up by the end of the year. On December 19, the national development and reform commission is to carry out the national carbon emissions trading market construction scheme (power generation) for deployment, announced the power generation industry as the breakthrough point, the launch of the national carbon emissions trading system.

In fact, carbon trading is no longer a new word. As early as 2010, the state council‘s decision on accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries has made clear the establishment and improvement of major pollutants and carbon trading systems. Over the past 2011 years, Beijing, tianjin, Shanghai, chongqing, hubei, guangdong and shenzhen and other places also have carried out the carbon emissions trading pilot, accumulative total quota and more than 200 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent volume, turnover of about 4.6 billion yuan.

As the world‘s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, our country‘s launch of a carbon trading system will help achieve the most cost-effective emission reduction. The national development and reform commission (NDRC) says it has two sides to why it is only included in the power sector. One is that the data base of the power industry is better and the products are relatively simple. The second is that the power sector emits a lot of emissions, and more than 1,700 companies are being included in more than 3 billion tonnes of emissions.

What kind of carbon trading system will be built in China next? How will it proceed? China‘s carbon market will launch a "three-step" road map, leading to three systems and four supporting systems, according to authoritative media reports. The emission report and verification work has been initiated, and the national carbon emission registration system and trading system are led by hubei and Shanghai respectively.

According to zhang, deputy director of the national development and reform commission, said the carbon market construction in China has been bringing in the new starting point, the next step, will accelerate the construction of the carbon market management system, to carry out in 2016 and 2017, the historical data submitted, the calculation and verification work, in order to promote the quota allocation, accelerate the carbon market infrastructure construction, and strengthen the ability construction of its own.

According to the plan, by 2020, China will strive to build a carbon market with perfect system, active trading, strict regulation and open and transparent market, and achieve stable, healthy and sustainable development. In general, by incorporating an industry, then mature an industry, gradually expand the carbon market coverage.

Can predict the future, when all eight industries in the plan are incorporated into carbon emissions trading system, further reduce the threshold of the carbon market, more and more enterprises to be incorporated in the carbon market management of scope, China will become the world‘s largest carbon markets.

So what is the impact of building a carbon market on businesses and people? The personage inside course of study says, not only to the specific enterprise, the industry as a whole, the carbon market construction is a green transformation opportunities, and the inhibitory effect on low level of energy efficiency of the enterprise, to high levels of energy efficiency of enterprises to expand production capacity to produce positive role in promoting.

From the perspective of the public, air pollution and climate change are the same source. Under the action of carbon market mechanism, enterprises will effectively reduce the emission of pollutants from source. Therefore, it is not hard to see that the carbon market will assist "blue sky security", improve air quality and reduce the disaster caused by climate change, and everyone will be the direct beneficiary.
