生态环境部：将加快推进全国碳市场建设

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China is advancing the construction of a national carbon market, focusing on green and low-carbon transformation as outlined in the recent policy directives [1]. Group 1: National Carbon Market Development - The national carbon emissions trading market will expand its coverage to include major emission industries in the industrial sector by 2027 [1]. - A total quota control and paid allocation system will be implemented, transitioning from intensity control to total control based on national greenhouse gas emission targets [1]. - The allocation of quotas will gradually shift towards a higher proportion of paid distribution, combining free and paid methods [1]. Group 2: Quota Management and Pricing - There will be a gradual tightening of quotas to enhance their scarcity, which will help carbon prices more accurately reflect the costs of emissions reduction in China [1]. - This approach aims to provide clearer price signals for optimizing key industries and facilitating green and low-carbon transformation [1]. Group 3: Voluntary Emission Reduction Market - The construction of a voluntary emission reduction trading market will be accelerated, with a focus on developing a comprehensive methodological system to support social voluntary reductions [1]. - The initiative aligns with the ecological value transformation of the "Two Mountains" concept [1]. Group 4: Market Vitality and Financial Products - Efforts will be made to enhance the vitality of the national carbon market by exploring and developing green financial products and services related to carbon emissions rights and certified voluntary reductions [1]. - The aim is to diversify the types and numbers of trading entities and strengthen market transaction supervision [1].
