The national carbon market is celebrating its second anniversary. Data show that as of July 16, the cumulative trading volume of carbon emission quotas in the national carbon market was 240 million tons, and the cumulative trading volume was 11.03 billion yuan. On the 17th, the closing price of carbon emission quotas in the national carbon market was 60 yuan/ton.
At present, the main participants in the national carbon market are still only electric power companies, and calls for capacity expansion are increasing day by day. A reporter from the Shanghai Securities News learned that recently, the iron and steel, petrochemical, and building materials industries have successively held special research meetings to discuss matters related to inclusion in the national carbon market. Industries such as iron and steel, electrolytic aluminum, and cement that the market is looking forward to are expected to be included in the carbon market one following another.
“In the past two years, the overall operation of the national carbon market has been stable and orderly, and the transaction price has risen steadily. The transaction situation is in line with the basic positioning of the national carbon market, and the role of the price discovery mechanism has initially appeared.” Lai Xiaoming, chairman of the Shanghai Environmental Exchange, said.
Niu Ren, vice president of the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange, said that since the launch of the national carbon market, the Shanghai Environmental Exchange has fully cooperated with the competent authorities to promote the infrastructure construction of the carbon market, fully guaranteeing the continuous, stable and efficient operation of the carbon market. At the same time, relying on the operation of the Shanghai pilot carbon market, the Shanghai Environmental Exchange has achieved effective results in carbon financial product innovation, carbon inclusive system construction, carbon market capacity building, and carbon management system promotion.
It is worth noting that, as an important part of the carbon market, the restart signal of CCER (Certified Voluntary Emission Reduction) is becoming clearer. Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment revised the “Interim Measures for the Administration of Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Transactions” and formulated the “Administrative Measures for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Transactions (Trial)” (Draft for Comment) (hereinfollowing referred to as “Management Measures”) , open for comment. At present, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is aiming to launch the national voluntary emission reduction trading market as soon as possible, and actively and steadily promotes various preparations before the launch of the voluntary emission reduction trading market.
It is reported that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has organized the construction of a unified national voluntary emission reduction registration system and trading system, and organized the drafting of registration rules and transaction settlement rules. At present, the preliminary acceptance of the two systems has been completed, providing a reliable infrastructure guarantee for the early launch of the market.
The national certified voluntary emission reduction refers to the quantitative verification of the greenhouse gas emission reduction effects of specific projects such as renewable energy, forestry carbon sinks, and methane utilization in my country, and is registered in the national greenhouse gas voluntary emission reduction transaction registration system. greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Qi Kang, deputy general manager of the Shanghai Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Center, told reporters that considering that the second compliance cycle of the carbon market is approaching, the management department is accelerating the promotion of CCER, with a view to partially using the new CCER to offset compliance. Qi Kang said that the new management method has three main features: first, it puts more emphasis on top-level design; second, it emphasizes data quality management; third, it further improves efficiency.
In the eyes of industry insiders, the ultimate goal of CCER system design is to guide high-energy-consuming enterprises to reduce emissions, and to guide the green transformation of energy structure, industrial structure and even the overall economic structure by transferring resources to low-carbon and high-efficiency enterprises. .
“The current market needs a stable and effective carbon price to guide the implementation path of carbon neutrality in the future.” Liu Qiao, dean of Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management, told reporters. For the development of the national carbon market, he put forward the following suggestions: First, increase market trading entities. At present, only power companies are included in the first batch of national carbon trading system, and petrochemical, chemical, building materials, steel, non-ferrous metals, paper and domestic civil aviation companies will also participate in the future. At the same time, add more traders, including individuals and households, and use appropriate products to attract them to carbon market transactions. The second is to give full play to the advantages of strong financial liquidity and pilot financial products related to carbon neutrality, such as carbon futures and carbon options.
