中国离重新启动中国核证减排(CCER)计划又近了一步 I 南华早报

  • 中国已经接近重启其自愿碳市场–中国核证减排(CCER)计划,作为其开发更全面的市场机制以支持其温室气体排放目标计划的一部分。
  • 负责监督该计划的中国北京绿色交易所已经完成了CCER计划的注册和交易系统的开发,并在恢复运营之前准备好接受检查。
  • 由于交易量低和碳审计缺乏标准化,CCER计划于2017年3月被暂停。
  • CCER计划被认为是中国国家排放交易计划(ETS)的重要补充机制,以实现中国在2030年达到排放峰值和在2060年实现碳中和的目标。
  • CCER计划的重启将极大地推动清洁能源、植树造林、甲烷利用等碳减排项目的发展。
  • CCER指的是企业在自愿的基础上进行的、经中国政府认证的减排活动。
  • 在国家排放交易计划下,企业获得有限的排放配额,并可以将未使用的配额出售给需要这些配额的公司,以抵消更高的排放量。他们可以使用CCER来抵消超过国家ETS目标的最多5%的排放量。
  • 在国家ETS的第一个履约周期,共有1.79亿吨碳配额易手,碳配额缺口为1.88亿吨,其中有3273万吨被CCER抵消。
  • 自2021年7月国家ETS开始运行以来,CCER市场的重新启动一直在讨论之中。
  • 随着国家ETS在2025年之前扩大到覆盖中国排放最多的所有八个行业,对CCER的需求将可能加速该计划的重启。
  • China has moved closer to rebooting its voluntary carbon market, the China Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) scheme, as part of its plans to develop a more comprehensive market mechanism to support its greenhouse gas emissions goals.
  • The China Beijing Green Exchange, which oversees the scheme, has finished developing the registration and trading systems for the CCER scheme and is ready for inspection before operations resume.
  • The CCER scheme was suspended in March 2017 due to low trading volume and a lack of standardization in carbon audits.
  • The CCER scheme is considered an important supplementary mechanism to China’s national Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in achieving China’s goal of reaching peak emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
  • The relaunch of the CCER scheme will greatly boost the development of carbon reduction projects such as clean energy, afforestation, and methane utilization.
  • CCER refers to emissions reduction activities conducted by companies on a voluntary basis that are certified by the Chinese government.
  • Under the national ETS, companies are given a limited amount of emissions allowances and can sell unused allowances to companies that need them to offset higher emissions. They can use CCERs to offset up to 5% of emissions that exceed the national ETS targets.
  • The first compliance cycle of the national ETS saw a total of 179 million tonnes of carbon allowances change hands and a carbon allowance gap of 188 million tonnes, of which 32.73 million tonnes were offset by CCER.
  • The reboot of the CCER market has been under discussion since the national ETS started operating in July 2021.
  • With the national ETS expanding to cover all eight sectors responsible for the most emissions in China by 2025, the demand for CCERs will likely accelerate the reboot of the scheme.
