Chinas Carbon Market Needs More Legal Auditing Efforts Experts Say

China's Carbon Trading Market: New Rules to Reduce Oversupply

Background

China's carbon trading market, launched in 2021, is the world's largest.

It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting limits on carbon emissions and allowing companies to trade permits.

New Rules

On December 30, 2023, China released new rules for its carbon market, effective from February 16, 2024.

These rules aim to address the issue of oversupply, which has led to low permit prices and reduced the effectiveness of the market.

Key Provisions

  • Reduced issuance: The number of permits issued will be linked to actual emissions, rather than projected emissions.
  • Reserve auctions: A portion of permits will be held in reserve and auctioned off later, creating a more dynamic price mechanism.
  • Market stability reserve: A fund will be established to buy and sell permits, helping to stabilize prices.

Impact

These new rules are expected to have a significant impact on the carbon market:

  • Reduced oversupply: The measures are designed to reduce the oversupply of permits and increase permit prices.
  • Increased effectiveness: Higher permit prices will make it more costly for companies to emit carbon, incentivizing them to reduce emissions.
  • Global impact: As the world's largest carbon market, China's market can significantly impact global carbon prices and the effectiveness of carbon trading mechanisms.

Conclusion

The new rules for China's carbon market are a significant step towards reducing oversupply and increasing the effectiveness of the market.

These changes will likely have a positive impact on global carbon prices and the fight against climate change.
