Emissions Trading System

On December 19, 2017, China announced the official start of its national emissions trading system (ETS) construction program. When fully implemented, this program will more than double the volume of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions covered by either tax or tradable permit policy. Many of program's design features reflect those of China's pilot programs but differ from those of most emissions trading programs in the United States and Europe. This paper explains the context and design of China's new carbon market, discusses implications and possible modifications, and suggests topics for further research.

AbstractThis article aims to give an overview of the international influence of the Emissions Trading System (ETS) in Mexico. It is divided into three parts. First, it briefly examines both the international Climate Change regime through the description of such instruments as the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement, and the national regime by reviewing as the 2012 General Law on Climate Change (LGCC), the National Emissions Registry (RENE) and its Regulations, as well as other instruments regarding mitigation from carbon tax and clean energy. Second, it analyzes the legal framework of the pilot phase of the ETS in Mexico (under the cap and trade principle) which seeks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) only in the energy and industry sectors whose emissions are greater than 100 thousand direct tonnes of CO2. In doing so, it also explains the relevance of implementing an ETS as a cost-effective mitigation measure to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in order to reduce 22% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 (increasing to 36% if there is international support and financing) and 50% by 2050 as a developing country. Third, it focuses on the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) experience and shows that all its phases must be done gradually by adopting the learning-by-doing approach.

Emissions Trading System

The article deals with the issues of environmental taxation of carbon dioxide emissions by the countries of the European Union and the methodology for calculating the amount of emissions by regulatory documents of Ukraine. It is established that our country's methodology is not adapted to real operating conditions under the influence of cross-border carbon taxation and the "Emissions Trading System". A mathematical model of the impact of power generating stations of states and their contribution to the overall energy balance of the country on the environmental cost and mass emissions of 1 kWh of electricity generation is proposed. The amount of electricity losses during its transportation from the power plant to the electric moving warehouse is determined and is taken into account in the total amount of deductions for the "Emissions Trading System" for DC and AC railway networks. Schemes of transit and local cargo routes are considered on the basis of a real fleet of traction rolling stock of Railways and a network of logistics lines. The passport characteristics of locomotives are analyzed and the amount of emissions and deductions during operation at Rated mode and idle speed is determined. Specific norms for selected routes and train conditions are calculated. The total costs, their cost and the amount of emissions and taxation of selected routes are determined, and rational economic and environmental logistics lines of train traffic are determined on their basis.

The purpose of this article is to study the impacts of environment on the economic growth of Xi’an. Based on the relevant data from 2000 to 2007, We extended Solow model for calculating the contribution rate of capital, labor and environmental indicators to economic growth. We get the environmental indicators of Xi’an is 43.46% , so it is very important to protect environment. We suggest that emissions-trading system and the deposit repayment system are better ways for Xi’an to solve the environmental problems.

Abstract Air quality, especially haze pollution, has become an important issue that threatens the sustainable development and health of human beings. To study and formulate effective environmental regulations to control and reduce the concentration of PM2.5 in the air, especially to clarify the effect of the relevant emission trading system on the emission reduction of air pollutants is a research topic with important practical significance and theoretical value. Previous studies on the environmental effects of emissions trading system (ETS) generally focused on carbon emission and their intensity, instead of focusing on the synergistic governance effects between ETS and PM2.5. Based on the PSM-DID method, this paper selects PM2.5 damage and other related data from 147 countries in the World Development Index (WDI) database. This paper examined whether the EU ETS has a spillover effect on PM2.5 damage reduction, and further discussed the related impact mechanisms and approaches. The research results show that the EU ETS has promoted the reduction of PM2.5 damage, and at different stages of implementation, the impact of the EU ETS on the reduction of PM2.5 damage has a dynamic effect. After discussion, it is found that ETS mainly affects PM2.5 emission reduction through two channels: pollution industry transfer, industrial structure upgrading and green technology innovation. Finally, this paper gives relevant policy suggestions, which can encourage companies to achieve carbon emission reduction targets while helping to reduce PM2.5 emissions, and eventually achieve a win-win situation between economic growth and environmental improvement.
