The steel industry carbon trading quota program is being researched and formulated

On May 26, Li Xinchuang, president of the Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, said in the low-carbon transformation capacity building and technology exchange meeting of the steel industry that the industry carbon emission trading quota program is under research and development, following the power industry taking the lead at the end of 2017. After being included in the national carbon emission trading market, the industry carbon trading market is also at a critical stage of advancement.

Strategic importance

Li Xinchuang introduced that the industry is a key industry for greenhouse gas emissions. "China is the world's largest producer and consumer, accounting for nearly 50% of global crude steel production, accounting for nearly 15% of China's total carbon emissions. Low-carbon transformation and development has a very important strategic position for Chinese industry."

Xu Huaqing, director of the National Center for Climate Change Strategy Research and International Cooperation, said that as of the end of 2017, China’s GDP per unit of GDP has fallen by about 46% compared to 2005, and the country’s external commitment to carbon intensity has declined by 40% in 2020. -45% target. At the same time, the state has also proposed autonomous action targets for greenhouse gas emission reduction. Carbon dioxide emissions peaked around 2030 and strived to reach peak as early as possible. The carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP decreased by 60%-65% compared with 2005. “The binding of carbon emissions will be further strengthened in the future, and some industries require peaks around 2020.”

According to statistics, industry has always been a major consumer of China's energy consumption, accounting for more than 70% of the country's carbon emissions, while building materials, petrochemicals, chemicals, nonferrous metals, electricity, six high-energy-consuming industries, their energy consumption accounts for more than 70% of the total industrial energy consumption. . The National "13th Five-Year Plan for Controlling Greenhouse Gas Emissions" (referred to as the "Program") proposes that by 2020, the carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will fall by 18% compared with 2015, and the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector will tend to The total amount of carbon dioxide emissions in key industries such as stability and building materials has been effectively controlled.

The carbon emission trading market is recognized as an important means to guide the development of low-carbon transformation of enterprises. Zhang Xiliang, from the Institute of Energy and Environmental Economics of Tsinghua University, said: "In the past, the state encouraged energy conservation and emission reduction. On the one hand, it relied on standards. On the one hand, it was subsidies, but subsidies were not long-term measures. The standard landing process was also difficult, and the mechanism of carbon emissions trading could Good regulation of corporate behavior."

Li Xinchuang introduced that with the power industry as a breakthrough, the national carbon emission trading market has been officially launched at the end of 2017, and will gradually expand to petrochemical, chemical, nonferrous and paper aviation industries.

Quota arrangements need to be discussed

Experts at the conference introduced that compared with the power industry, the industry has longer processes and more complicated processes. How to formulate baseline and quota schemes to ensure fairness between industries and fairness within the industry is worthy of in-depth study and discussion. "The carbon trading quota scheme involves the self-interest and long-term development of each enterprise. Enterprises should not evade and resist the impending carbon trading, but must learn from the open mind, actively respond, and strengthen communication with government departments. The allocation of carbon emission quotas is more fair and reasonable, and it also creates favorable space for its own development,” Zhang Xiliang said.

Corporate carbon emissions information disclosure will provide strong support for the future carbon trading system. Xu Huaqing said that the "Proposal" has proposed "establishing a greenhouse gas emission information disclosure system". State-owned enterprises, listed companies, and enterprises included in the carbon emission trading market should take the lead in publishing greenhouse gas emission information and control measures.

At the 2017 Boao Forum for Asia, Fang Xinghai, vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said that listed companies listed in the key carbon emissions sector must disclose the carbon emissions of the previous year from the 2017 annual report, which may be required in the future. All listed companies disclose carbon emissions.

According to the statistics of China Securities Journal, most of the 33 listed steel enterprises in the Shenwan industry only disclose pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter in their annual reports or social responsibility reports, and do not cover carbon dioxide emissions information. Baosteel Co., Ltd. is one of the early companies involved in carbon trading earlier in China. Baosteel's 2017 Sustainability Report shows that the company's carbon dioxide emissions per ton of steel have been reduced from 1 in 2013 to 0.95, which is the same as 2016. In 2016, Baosteel Co., Ltd. had a total carbon credit of 1.07 million tons. During the period from May to June 2017, it purchased CCRC (enterprise initial carbon emission quota) purchases, agreement transfers, and listing transactions to purchase quotas from the carbon market, totaling RMB 26.56 million.
