China embracing the green pathway

China, poised to pass the US as the world’s largest carbon dioxide emitter, will set up the country’s first carbon-credit exchange to let companies profit from cutting greenhouse gases. The Beijing-ba<x>sed exchange and 12 brokerages in western China, estimated to cost $1.7 million over three years, will be formed with financial backing from Arcelor Mittal, said United Nations China coordinator Khalid Malik. “We’re hoping to make this as market-driven as we can,” Malik said in Beijing.
The UN is trying to help China, the world’s fastest-growing major economy, and supplier of a third of global carbon credits, invest in cleaner industrial technology. Global warming, caused by gases including carbon dioxide, may raise average world temperatures by up to 6.4 degrees celsius by the end of the century, the UN predicts. The UN will certify the credits and aims to get the system ready by summer,Malik said.
Carbon credits are used to encourage companies to reduce pollution. The credits, each representing a ton’s reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, are sold to buyers that exceed limits.
Global trade in emissions credits grew to $22 billion in the first nine months of 2006, double the $11 billion in the full year of 2005, the World Bank said in October. American International Group Inc. and Swiss Reinsurance Co have said they may create new products for managing risks associated with climate change. The Chicago Climate Exchange is the world’s first bourse for trading emission credits, with electronic trading of greenhouse gas allowances from 2003.
A similar exchange was started in Osaka, Japan, in 2006 for trading carbon, environmental, energy and resource credits.
The 1997 Kyoto Protocol lets companies in developed nations buy credits from projects that cut emissions in developing economies, where cleaning up production processes is cheaper. Those credits can be sold in carbon-trading systems such as that of the European Union, helping richer nations meet Kyoto targets.
Credits created in China cost as much as $11.60, according to Chen Ying, vice director of China Energy Conservation Investment Corp., a state-owned trader of the credits ba<x>sed in Beijing. Credits from developing countries sold for a global average of $10.5 in the first nine months of 2006, the World Bank said in October.
Buyers of credits from Chinese companies include Morgan Stanley and BP Plc. China takes a share of up to 65% from revenues from sales of credits to overseas investors, according to the government. Investors have criticised this practice as inefficient, according to Kishan Khoday, UN assistant resident coordinator for China.
The UN will fund a system for verifying carbon credits and lowering costs. Some proceeds will be used to help rural communities provide electricity in schools, Khoday said.
“This new system will lower overall transaction fees,” said Lu Xuedu, China’s Ministry of Science & Technology’s assistant director of global environmental affairs, which coordinates carbon trading.
China, the world’s largest user and producer of coal, is unlikely to meet a government goal of cutting energy use before the end of 2010, the International Energy Agency said recently. The IEA predicts China will overtake the US in carbon dioxide emissions in 2009.
China will shut some smaller power plants by 2010 to cut pollution and boost efficiency, the National Development and Reform Commission’s energy bureau said this month. The country is also receiving 40 million euros in grants from the European Union for energy research and the environment. China and the EU in February last year agreed to develop underground storage of carbon emissions from coal-fired power stations. By storing carbon dioxide in liquid form in underground tanks, China’s power producers can earn tradable credits.
Arcelor Mittal, the world’s largest steelmaker, said its funding the UN’s efforts and providing China with technology used to cut emissions in steel production.
