China will begin trading carbon emissions contracts later this month after eight years of trials, as the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases kicks off the crucial market-based mechanism to put the nation on track to meet its 2060 carbon neutral goal.
Leading the charge on the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange will be power plants and electricity generators – estimated to be responsible for 40 per cent of China’s carbon dioxide emissions – before seven other carbon-intensive industries join in the mandatory trading, according to a statement by the State Council, citing a directive by Premier Li Keqiang.

A carbon cost can come in the form of a tax or via an emissions trading (ETS), or cap-and-trade, scheme.
An ETS sets a gradually decreasing cap on the emissions a sector, or group of sectors, can produce. It creates carbon permits for those emissions, which companies must buy for each tonne of CO2 they emit. Some sectors are given free permits to help maintain international competitiveness.
