Shaanxi arranged and deployed the management of key emission units in the national carbon market and the transaction performance of power generation enterprises

In order to implement the unified deployment of the national carbon market, we will solidly promote the expansion of the national carbon market. Recently, the Shaanxi Province Department of Ecology and Environment organized a video conference on the management of key emission units in the national carbon market and the transaction performance of power generation enterprises in Shaanxi Province to interpret the latest national policy requirements and technical specifications, and promote the province's high-quality completion of annual carbon emission performance.

At the video conference, the comrades in charge of the Emissions Discharge Permit Management Division (Climate Change Response Division) and the Provincial Environmental Survey and Evaluation Center of the Shaanxi Province Department of Ecology and Environment focused on the "2024 National Carbon Emissions Trading Power Generation Industry Quota Total and Allocation Plan" and "National Carbon Emissions Trading Market Covering Cement, Steel, The spirit of four national carbon emissions trading market technical specifications and other documents, including the Electrolytic Aluminum Industry Work Plan and the "Guidelines for Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting and Reporting, Cement Industry", will provide for the allocation and performance of quotas for the power generation industry in 2023 and be newly included in the national carbon market transactions. The management and control requirements of the steel, cement, and electrolytic aluminum industries and the monthly information-based deposit data filling and review of key emission units are interpreted to clarify the respective responsibilities and work requirements of management departments and enterprises. The responsible comrades of the Emission Permits Management Division (Climate Change Response Division) of the Department also made specific arrangements for various work on carbon emission compliance.

The meeting emphasized that ecological and environmental departments at all levels and key emission units must conscientiously implement the national "double carbon" strategic goals, deeply understand the importance of carbon emission compliance work to the construction of the national carbon market, further consolidate work responsibilities, and adopt annual carbon emission compliance work Completed and fully promote green and low-carbon development. The first is to grasp the requirements of the situation and keep a close eye on the direction of green and low-carbon development. The carbon market is an institutional innovation that uses market mechanisms to control and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote green and low-carbon development. It is not only conducive to reducing the cost of emission reduction for the whole society, but also promotes the transformation and upgrading of the economy to green and low-carbon and high-quality development. It is also an important policy tool to implement carbon peak. The second is to proactively adapt to changes and make preparations for carbon market performance in advance. In response to new forms of performance and changes, power generation companies included in the transaction must conduct quota trial calculations in a timely manner, and enterprises with large gaps must purchase quotas in a timely manner to prevent high-priced performance. The steel, cement, and electrolytic aluminum industries that will be included in control must plan in advance., collect monthly information-based certificate deposit review data, strengthen data quality management, and transform green and low-carbon technologies. The third is to strengthen quality awareness and do a solid job in carbon emission data management. The authenticity and accuracy of carbon emission data is an important foundation for the healthy development of the carbon market. It is also an important basis for key emission units to conduct carbon emission trading and complete quota payment and performance. It is necessary to give full play to the national-provincial-municipal three-level joint review mechanism and continuously Strengthen the main responsibility of carbon emission data quality management to ensure the authenticity and credibility of carbon emission data.

It is reported that more than 260 leaders in charge of ecological environment bureaus, business section (division) heads and business responsible comrades of various cities (districts) in Shaanxi Province, and 103 key emission units including power generation, steel, cement, and electrolytic aluminum included in the trading scope of the national carbon market in the province attended the meeting.
