The cumulative transaction volume of the pilot carbon emissions trading exceeds 9 billion yuan

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment began today to solicit public opinions on the "National Carbon Emission Rights Trading Management Measures (Trial)" and the "National Carbon Emission Rights Registration Transaction Settlement Management Measures (Trial)", aiming to accelerate the construction of the national carbon emissions trading market

Carbon emission trading is a major institutional innovation that uses market mechanisms to control and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote green and low-carbon development

The “National Regulations on Carbon Emission Trading Management (Trial)” drafted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment embodies the principle of “enterprise self-certification”.

The "National Carbon Emission Trading Management Measures (Trial)" strengthens the supervision and management of monitoring plans on the basis of strengthening the reporting responsibilities of enterprises, and stipulates that the emission report verification work of key emission units shall be carried out in a "double random, one open" manner.

The "National Carbon Emission Trading Management Measures (Trial)" clarified that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is responsible for formulating unified systems, standards and technical specifications for the national carbon market, and the provincial ecological and environmental authorities are responsible for organizing the national carbon emission trading data submission, verification, and For the supervision and management of related activities such as quota allocation, settlement and performance, the municipal competent department of ecological environment is responsible for coordinating and implementing relevant specific work

Based on the experience of carbon market construction in foreign and domestic pilot provinces and cities, the introduction of carbon trading legislation and related supporting system documents is a necessary condition for the orderly operation of the carbon market

The "National Carbon Emission Rights Registration, Transaction and Settlement Management Measures (for Trial Implementation)" clarifies the basic elements of the national carbon emission rights registration, trading and settlement links, clarifies the functions of the national carbon emission rights registration and settlement institutions and trading institutions, and clarifies the registration etc.

According to Li Gao, director of the Department of Climate Change Response of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, great progress has been made in the construction of the national carbon market

In addition, in line with the need to expand the coverage of the national carbon market in the next step, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has organized and carried out the carbon emission data reporting and verification work of related industries and enterprises.

Li Gao said that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, carbon market pilots will be the first to lay the foundation for the national carbon market.
