Core Viewpoint - During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's low-carbon development strategy remains steadfast, with expectations for a comprehensive upgrade of the carbon reduction "toolbox" centered on carbon markets and green certificate markets, which will drive structural adjustments across multiple industries [2][3]. Group 1: Carbon Market Insights - The carbon market in China is set to undergo "capacity expansion + quota allocation" reforms, with an expected increase in carbon emissions coverage to 77% by 2030, leading to a long-term rise in carbon prices to 80-90 yuan per ton [4]. - The anticipated carbon market supply from CCER methodologies could reach 480-750 million tons by 2030, enhancing the market's overall supply [4]. - The carbon price increase is expected to facilitate the elimination of outdated production capacity in emission-intensive industries, providing competitive advantages to green enterprises [4]. Group 2: Green Certificate Market Dynamics - The green certificate market currently faces downward price pressure due to oversupply, but improvements in supply-demand dynamics are expected, with prices projected to rise to 6-6.5 yuan per certificate by 2026 [5]. - The transition from "certificate and electricity separation" to "certificate and electricity integration" is anticipated, driven by domestic demand for green electricity and international policies like CBAM [5]. - High green electricity consumption ratio enterprises will gain a first-mover advantage, particularly those located in regions with abundant renewable energy [5]. Group 3: Product Carbon Footprint Management - The concept of product carbon footprint management is emerging as a new paradigm in corporate carbon management, aimed at enhancing corporate "green competitiveness" [6]. - The establishment of carbon footprint accounting standards and certification systems is underway, which will benefit exporting companies and those in raw materials and long supply chains [6]. Group 4: Investment Opportunities - The upgrade of the carbon reduction toolbox is expected to create investment opportunities in green sectors, such as sustainable aviation fuel and green electricity direct connection industries [7]. - Low-carbon enterprises in high-emission sectors, such as steel, will have cost advantages and profit potential in the carbon market, while data centers and aluminum smelting companies with high green electricity consumption ratios will face lower transition risks [7]. - Companies with higher product carbon footprint management levels in long supply chains and exporting industries will exhibit greater resilience and "green competitiveness" [7].

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]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an industry investment rating. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The adjustment of the "Scheme" provides effective support for carbon prices, and it is recommended to pay attention to opportunities for buying on dips [3]. - In the short - term, the increase in the basic carry - over volume of the three major industries leads to an increase in potential purchase demand, but it is necessary to note that it may not all be converted into market buying demand [3]. - In the long - term, the total quota gap of quota - deficient enterprises in the three major industries increases, and the supply - demand may be tight, which will drive up carbon prices [4]. Group 3: Summary by Related Content Policy Adjustment - On November 17, 2025, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Scheme", which has two adjustments compared with the previous draft: the coefficient of carbon emission intensity and carbon emission intensity deviation is adjusted from 0.1 to 0.15, and the upper and lower limits of carbon emission intensity deviation are adjusted from ±30% to ±20%; the basic carry - over volume of key emission units in the steel, cement, and aluminum smelting industries is adjusted from 10,000 tons to 100,000 tons. For key emission units included in two or more industries, the basic carry - over volume is adjusted to the sum of the basic carry - over volumes of key emission units in each industry (≥110,000 tons) [1]. Market Performance - On November 19, 2025, the carbon emission quota rose sharply in the early trading and hit the daily limit, with a slight pull - back at the close. The closing price was 66.86 yuan/ton, with a gain of over 8%. The trading volume for the whole day was 1.1464 million tons, a 17.6% increase from the previous day's trading volume [2]. Short - term Impact - The adjustment of the "Scheme" allows enterprises in the three major industries to buy more quotas before the end of the year to carry over to next year, increasing short - term potential purchase demand. After the adjustment, the potential purchase demand of newly added enterprises increased from 1.334 million tons to 13.34 million tons [3]. Long - term Impact - The increase in the coefficient of carbon emission intensity and carbon emission intensity deviation makes the quota surplus or deficit of enterprises larger. Considering that the quota carry - over policy only lasts until the end of 2025, in 2026, quota - surplus enterprises may be more inclined to "hoard" quotas, while quota - deficient enterprises will convert all quota gaps into market demand due to compliance requirements, so the supply - demand may be tight and drive up carbon prices [4]. Operation Suggestions - Quota - surplus enterprises should confirm whether the remaining quotas meet the maximum carry - over volume requirements, and sell the excess part on rallies; key emission units in the three newly included major industries in the national carbon market can pay attention to opportunities for buying on dips in the carbon market [4]. Noun Explanation - Carbon emission intensity coefficient: An indicator characterizing the advanced level of an enterprise's carbon emission intensity control; when an enterprise is better than the industry benchmark level, the value is >0; otherwise, the value is <0 [5]. - Carbon emission intensity deviation: In 2025, the carbon emission intensity coefficients of steel enterprises, cement clinker production lines, and aluminum electrolysis processes are based on the gap between the carbon emissions per ton of products in their main processes and the industry balance value [5].

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese carbon market is maturing through policy improvements and corporate exploration, with a focus on controlling greenhouse gas emissions and reducing overall emission reduction costs [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Framework and Market Mechanism - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued a plan for the allocation of carbon emission quotas for the steel, cement, and aluminum industries for 2024 and 2025, emphasizing a stable policy framework and free quota allocation based on carbon intensity [1]. - The total carbon quota in the market has exceeded 8 billion tons per year, representing a more than tenfold increase compared to the cumulative transaction volume of 696 million tons in 2024, indicating a surge in emission reduction demand in the industrial sector [1]. Group 2: Industry Challenges and Opportunities - High-energy-consuming industries are facing a "de-involution" demand, where the expansion of the carbon market can encourage companies to reduce emissions and promote industrial upgrades, moving away from low-level homogeneous competition [2]. - The complexity of the industrial sector poses challenges for emission reduction, as seen in the aluminum industry, where production costs are significantly impacted by electricity and carbon costs [4]. Group 3: Data Quality and Regulatory Measures - The quality of carbon emission data is crucial for the healthy operation of the carbon market, with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment emphasizing the need for rigorous monitoring and verification of emission data [5]. - Measures to ensure data quality include improving the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system, enhancing daily regulatory oversight, and encouraging companies to strengthen their internal data management [5].
