Core Viewpoint - China has established the world's largest carbon emissions trading market, which is now operating steadily, covering over 60% of the country's carbon emissions, and is entering a new phase of development [1][2]. Market Development - The national carbon emissions trading market has seen steady progress since its pilot phase began in 2011, with the official launch occurring in 2017, following a phased approach [1][3]. - The cumulative trading volume of the national carbon market reached nearly 700 million tons by the end of August [1]. Policy Framework - The issuance of the "Opinions" document aims to enhance the effectiveness, vitality, and international influence of the national carbon market, while also coordinating with local pilot markets [2][3]. - Key tasks include aligning the national carbon market with the national carbon emission control measures, introducing paid allocation of quotas, and strengthening management of registration and trading institutions [2]. Market Structure - The national carbon market consists of a mandatory carbon market and a voluntary carbon market, which operate independently but complement each other [3][5]. - The mandatory market is expected to control over 70% of national carbon emissions, while the voluntary market can help reduce emissions not covered by the mandatory market [3]. Impact on Enterprises - The carbon market creates a consensus among enterprises that "carbon emissions have costs, and carbon reduction has benefits," allowing companies to manage their emissions more effectively [5][6]. - Companies can purchase carbon allowances at lower prices than their own reduction costs, minimizing operational impacts while incentivizing additional reductions when it is economically beneficial [5]. Regulatory Framework - A multi-level and relatively complete regulatory system for the carbon market has begun to take shape, with over 30 regulations and technical standards established [6][7]. - The upcoming "Interim Regulations on Carbon Emission Trading" will clarify responsibilities for companies regarding carbon emissions reporting and compliance [6]. Quota Management - The "Opinions" propose a gradual shift from intensity control to total volume control, prioritizing industries with stable carbon emissions for quota management by 2027 [7]. - Setting total quotas requires careful consideration of national carbon reduction goals and future economic trends [7]. Emission Accounting - Improving the carbon emission accounting system involves ensuring data quality from key emitters and third-party verification agencies, optimizing accounting methods, and enhancing measurement techniques [7][8]. Pricing Mechanism - Factors influencing carbon pricing include national carbon reduction targets and the development of low-carbon technologies [8]. - The pricing mechanism should reflect market dynamics while ensuring effective government regulation through quota allocation and market rules [8].
