三大行业将完成首次碳排放配额清缴

Core Points - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has released the "Quota Allocation Plan for National Carbon Emission Trading Market for Steel, Cement, and Aluminum Smelting Industries for 2024 and 2025," which outlines the allocation, clearing, and transfer of carbon emission quotas for these industries [1] - The plan continues the framework of free quota allocation based on carbon emission intensity control, linking the quota amount to actual carbon output, without setting an absolute cap on total emissions, thus ensuring necessary space for industry development [1] - The plan aims to incentivize carbon reduction by allowing companies with lower carbon emissions per unit product to have higher quota surplus rates [1] Industry Expansion - The Ministry has initiated preparatory work for expanding the carbon trading market to include industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, civil aviation, and papermaking, with technical documents being drafted for quota allocation and reporting guidelines [2] - The expansion will follow the principle of "mature one, include one," based on industry development status, pollution reduction contributions, data quality, and carbon emission characteristics [2] - By 2027, the carbon trading market is expected to cover major emission industries in the industrial sector, with a gradual shift from intensity control to total control for industries with stable total emissions [2]
