In December 2017, the NDRC issued the Carbon Emission Trading Market Construction Scheme (Power Generation Industry). This emission trading scheme defines the guiding principles for the construction of a unified carbon market in China in order to effectively control and gradually reduce carbon/greenhouse gas emissions in China, and to promote green and low-carbon development. The guiding principles foresee that the Scheme shall be market-oriented, government-led, and based on a step-by-step approach, unified standards, extensive participation, equality and transparency. It mandates the launch of a national carbon emission trading system for the power generation industry, and the construction of a carbon market in three steps. [40]
[40] The Scheme also set requirements for carbon emission monitoring, reporting and checking system, key emission units quota management system, market trading-related systems, carbon emission data reporting system, carbon emission right registration system, carbon emission trading system and carbon emission trading settlement system.
