Core Viewpoint - The issuance of the "Opinions on Promoting Green and Low-Carbon Transition and Strengthening National Carbon Market Construction" marks the first central document in China's carbon market sector, providing a more comprehensive institutional guarantee and stronger capability support for the national carbon market construction [1][2]. Group 1: National Carbon Market Development - China has established a national carbon emissions trading market that includes both a mandatory carbon market and a voluntary carbon market, which operate independently but are interconnected through a quota clearing mechanism [2][3]. - As of August 22, 2023, the cumulative transaction volume of the mandatory carbon market exceeded 680 million tons, with a transaction value of 47.41 billion yuan, while the voluntary carbon market recorded a cumulative transaction of 2.49 million tons, valued at 210 million yuan [2][3]. Group 2: Timeline and Roadmap - The "Opinions" outline a timeline and roadmap for the national carbon market, aiming to cover major industrial sectors by 2027 and achieve comprehensive coverage in key areas by 2030 [3][4]. - The mandatory carbon market will expand to include major industrial sectors, while the voluntary market will extend to biomass utilization and solid waste treatment by 2027 [3][4]. Group 3: Quota Management System - A clear and transparent carbon emissions quota management system is essential for the healthy operation of the national carbon trading market [4][5]. - The quota distribution system will balance emission reduction targets with economic costs and industry differences, gradually implementing total quota control by 2027 [4][5]. Group 4: Development of Voluntary Carbon Market - The government aims to actively develop the national voluntary greenhouse gas reduction trading market, focusing on key areas and technologies for carbon neutrality [6][7]. - Strengthening market regulation and ensuring accurate carbon emission data are crucial for the success of the carbon market [6][7]. Group 5: Enhancing Market Vitality - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to collaborate with financial institutions to explore green financial products related to carbon emissions rights and certified voluntary reduction amounts [8][9]. - Initiatives like carbon pledging and carbon repurchase will help improve financing channels for key emission units and enhance their proactive engagement in energy-saving and carbon reduction efforts [8][9].
