Carbon Emissions Trading Schemes are a new way for the world to reduce greenhousegases. They treat greenhouse gas emissions allowances as commodities and allow high-emissions companies to buy emissions allowances from companies with low emissions. Themechanism is an attempt to reduce pollution caused by carbon emissions, and encouragecompanies to invest in clean technologies.
China has reportedly launched pilot Carbon Trading Emissions Schemes in seven cities,including Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, and by 2020 will gradually establish a nationalcarbon trading market to realize carbon emissions reduction goals.
Under the cooperation project, European experts will share their experience with Chineseexperts and decision-makers from the seven pilot cities. They will also provide support toestablish a national carbon trading emissions scheme in China.
Regarding carbon emissions trading in China, European Commission Director General forClimate Action Jos Delbeke suggested that setting a cap, or limit on emissions is the mostimportant action. He said that setting a limit on the amount of emissions should reducegreenhouse gases while keeping the price for trading at a reasonable level. Meanwhile, hesaid that companies should report high quality and reliable emissions data.
According to Delbeke, environmental pressure will grow as China becomes a vital economy.He said that the EU can share experience with China and is prepared to do this.
