China, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has launched its first national emissions-trading scheme. ग्रीनहाउस गैसों के दुनिया के सबसे बड़े उत्सर्जक चीन ने अपनी पहली राष्ट्रीय उत्सर्जन-व्यापार योजना शुरू की है।

Q. What is Carbon Trading?
The scheme works on the cap-and-trade model where the coal-and-gas-fired energy plants are allocated a specific number of emissions allowances.
If they exceed this limit, the energy plants are permitted to buy allowances from the open market. In case, if they manage to stay within their prescribed limits, they can sell the remainder of their allowances to the other emitters. As allowances become stricter, prices rise, which encourages companies to become greener.

A certificate will be issued by the local governments for every tonne of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas equivalent which a company will be allowed to emit, and they will need to pay fines for not complying.
The Vice-President of the Environmental Defence Fund China, Zhang Jianyu said that the companies can either cut the emissions or pay to pollute, however, the latter will become pricier over time as the governments will issue fewer pollution permits.

China, in 2019, had contributed 27% of the total global carbon emissions and over 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. The country relies on coal for 60% of its energy needs and since the year 2011 has burned more coal each year than the rest of the world combined.
However, it must be mentioned that its per capita emissions-roughly 6.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide per person-  is lower than half of those nations such as Canada, Australia, and the United States.
