Promote "carbon management" and jointly build a green Xuzhou Xuzhou Environmental Protection Group's first national carbon market trader training course in Huaihai Economic Zone was held
In order to reserve carbon trading talents and promote the construction of Xuzhou's global carbon management system, from December 28 to 30, Xuzhou Environmental Protection Group held the first national carbon market trader training course in Huaihai Economic Zone, and invited Bin Hui, deputy general manager of Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange, Wang Yulu, professor of the Sustainable Development Center of Fudan University, and Zhao Liang, deputy dean of the Institute of Natural Resources of Nanjing University, to give lectures to students from more than 30 enterprises.
The national carbon market has been online for nearly half a year, what is the current market? How to trade? What are the legal risks and compliance points? How can companies improve their carbon capabilities? In the lecture, the experts explained in simple terms. The preparation for the construction of the Xuzhou service center for the construction of carbon management system has injected new strength into the construction of green Xuzhou.
Market-led efforts to reduce "carbon emissions"
The national carbon market was launched on July 16, and according to estimates, the first batch covered more than 2,000 power companies, with carbon emissions of more than 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide, accounting for about 40% of the country's total carbon emissions, which means that once the market is launched, it will become the world's largest carbon market.
The reporter learned in the training course that the national carbon trading trading center is located in Shanghai, and the carbon quota registration center is located in Wuhan, Hubei, implementing the "two-city model". The so-called carbon quota refers to the fact that the competent authority sets a carbon emission share for the emission control enterprise, and if the enterprise successfully achieves energy conservation and emission reduction, the excess share can be sold through the carbon emission trading market; If there is excess emissions, allowances are purchased on demand in the market. This mechanism aims to convert carbon emissions into business operating costs, play the role of market mechanisms under the premise of total control, and use market means to guide enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions, and optimize resource allocation.
At present, China's carbon quota is still based on free allocation, and paid allocation will be introduced in due course in the future, and the proportion of paid allocation will gradually increase. In order to help achieve the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", the proportion of paid distribution will reach 15% by 2030. The Guangdong market, which was first used as a pilot, required companies to obtain a 3% share through auction and then distribute the remaining 97%.
Planning to improve "carbon capacity"
It has been nearly half a year since the launch of the national carbon market, what is the market? According to Bin Hui, deputy general manager of the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange, the recent carbon price has been relatively stable, the price on December 27 was 49 yuan / ton, and the current EU carbon price has reached 90 euros / ton, "China's carbon market opened more than 100 days to trade more than 60 billion, although it exceeded expectations, but this is still not thirsty for the market." During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the remaining eight energy-intensive industries such as steel, chemicals, paper and aviation may all be included. ”
Experts believe that in addition to guiding enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions, the more important role of the carbon market is financing. According to the relevant regulations, emission control enterprises can use allowances to pledge, and as of December 27, the amount pledged by the People's Bank of China alone in the national carbon trading market has reached 2.5 billion yuan. In the future, investment institutions, including individuals, will also be able to enter the market, and the "cake" will become bigger and bigger.
"The carbon market has an impact on all sectors to a greater or lesser extent, and improving carbon capacity is a top priority." For enterprises in Xuzhou, Binhui put forward sincere suggestions.
Enterprises should start from their own situation, strengthen internal management, plan their own carbon emissions, and make good use of the marketization of quotas on the basis of completing tasks. Companies that want to reduce emissions through technological transformation now have an option – pledge their allowances to banks, obtain funds and then carry out transformations, and then use the benefits of transformation to repay loans, so that they do not need to tie up their own funds.
In the context of the increasing scale of the national carbon market, it is an inevitable trend for enterprises to build a special team to follow up carbon trading and do a good job in carbon management system, and to build a timely, smooth, standardized and effective carbon emission data statistics system to provide a data basis for carbon emission data reporting, verification, and settlement.
Will the rise in carbon prices lead to an increase in corporate costs, affecting commodity prices and increasing the cost of living for residents? Experts believe that commodity prices will not necessarily rise, but the rise in carbon prices will definitely force enterprises to do everything possible to increase technological reform, so as to reduce production costs and enhance market competitiveness.
Build a platform to build a "carbon system"
"On the basis of this training, we will work together with the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange to build a Xuzhou service center for the construction of a 'carbon management system'." Zhu Yue, general manager of Jiangsu Pengcheng Carbon Asset Operation Co., Ltd. of Xuzhou Environmental Protection Group, said that as an important enterprise in the field of carbon peak and carbon neutrality of the environmental protection group, Pengcheng Carbon Asset Operation Co., Ltd. will cooperate with all aspects of resources to promote the construction of service centers, and carry out training for enterprises, universities and social talents in Huaihai Economic Zone, so as to provide enterprises with urgently needed professional skills and knowledge such as carbon management system construction, carbon verification, carbon asset management, carbon trading, and carbon emission reduction. At the same time, it also cultivates and reserves sufficient human resources for the carbon emission trading work that is about to be fully rolled out, forming Xuzhou's talent highland status in the field of carbon emission trading, and forming an effective radiation driving role for the surrounding areas.
As a comprehensive service platform, the service center will also set up a top expert team and a professional service team in the fields of carbon peaking, carbon emission reduction, and carbon neutrality to provide professional advice for government governance and assist the government in carrying out scientific decision-making and policy implementation tracking and evaluation.
In order to help enterprises effectively implement carbon management and achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the service center will provide carbon management system standard construction and review services based on the "Carbon Management System Requirements and Use Guidelines" standards published by the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange to the world, starting from the four subsystem standards of carbon emissions, carbon trading, carbon assets and carbon neutrality. At the same time, we will accelerate the industrial application of low-carbon environmental protection technologies and environmental protection equipment, optimize CCUS (carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage), groundwater pollution prevention and protection and other technology and equipment products with mature technologies, significant energy conservation and carbon reduction effects, and greater potential, increase the construction of industrialization projects, encourage enterprises to actively purchase low-carbon, green and advanced processing and production equipment, update manufacturing processes, and promote and guide the consumption of advanced green environmental protection products.
"The proposal of the 'dual carbon' goal is not only China's commitment to the international community, but also a mobilization order for China." Zhu Yue said that the construction of the carbon management system Xuzhou Service Center will firmly implement the new requirements of high-quality development and contribute new strength to the construction of a green Xuzhou.
