本期要闻Highlights of the Month

为进一步规范全国温室气体自愿减排交易及相关活动,推动实现碳达峰碳中和目标,生态环境部联合国家市场监管总局对原《温室气体自愿减排交易管理暂行办法》进行了修订,编制形成《温室气体自愿减排交易管理办法(试行)》,于10月19日发布并实施。

管理办法系统规范了自愿减排交易的总体框架,规定了项目审定与登记、减排量核查与登记、减排量交易等诸多环节的实施流程。

办法规定申请登记的温室气体自愿减排项目应当具备真实性、唯一性和额外性,应属于生态环境部发布的项目方法学支持领域并于2012年11月8日之后开工建设。

办法规定申请登记的项目减排量应当可测量、可追溯、可核查,符合保守性原则,符合生态环境部发布的项目方法学,产生于2020年9月22日之后,并且在可申请项目减排量登记的时间期限内。项目业主可以分期申请项目减排量登记。每期申请登记的项目减排量的产生时间应当在其申请登记之日前五年以内。

本办法首次将三氟化氮(NF3)纳入可参与减排交易的温室气体范围内,明确将个人纳入可以参与交易的主体,但仍未就跨境交易作出规定。

该管理办法的发布,也意味着CCER自2017年暂停审批新项目时隔多年后又重新启动。

10月24日,生态环境部发布《关于全国温室气体自愿减排交易市场有关工作事项安排的通告》,对全国温室气体自愿减排注册登记机构和全国温室气体自愿减排交易机构成立前的衔接工作作出安排。

同日,生态环境部发布了造林碳汇、并网光热发电、并网海上风力发电和红树林营造四项温室气体自愿减排项目方法学,用于设计和审定温室气体自愿减排项目,以及核算和核查温室气体自愿减排项目的减排量。

In order to further regulate voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction transactions and related activities nationwide, and to promote the achievement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, along with the State Administration for Market Regulation, revised the original “Interim Measures for the Administration of Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Transactions” and compiled the “Measures  for the Management of Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Transactions (Trial)”, which was released and implemented on October 19.

The “Measures for the Management” systematically regulates the overall framework of voluntary emission reduction transactions and stipulates the implementation process of various procedures such as project validation and registration, emission reduction verification and registration, and emission reduction transactions.

The Measures stipulates that greenhouse gas voluntary emission reduction projects applying for registration should be authentic, unique and additional, and should fall within the field supported by the project methodology issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, of which the construction started after November 8, 2012.

The Measures stipulates that the emission reduction of projects applying for registration shall be measurable, traceable, and verifiable, in accordance with the principle of conservatism and project methodology issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. The emission reduction should occur after September 22, 2020, within the time period during which project emission reduction registration is valid. Project owners can apply for project emission reduction registration by stages. The emission reductions of project applying for registration at each stage should be within five years prior to the date of its application for registration.

In this Method, for the first time, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is included in the scope of greenhouse gases that can participate in emission reduction transactions, and individuals are explicitly regarded as subjects that can participate in transactions, but there are no detailed stipulations on the cross-border transactions.

The issuance of this management measures also means that CCER (China Certified Emission Reduction) has resumed its operation after a moratorium on approving new projects since 2017.

On October 24, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the “Notice on the Arrangement of Relevant Matters of the National Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading Market”, which makes arrangements for the convergence before the establishment of the National Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Registry and the National Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading Institution.

On the same day, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released four voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction project methodologies: afforestation carbon sinks, grid-connected solar thermal power generation, grid-connected offshore wind power generation, and mangrove creation, for the design and approval of voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects, and the accounting and verification of emission reductions from voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects.

生态环境部:关于进一步优化重污染天气预警机制的指导意见(征求意见稿)Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Guidance on Further Optimizing the Early Warning Mechanism for Heavily Polluted Weather (Consultation Paper)

意见稿优化了预警启动标准,优化了预警发布、调整和解除条件,规范了预警响应与解除流程,强化区域应急联动协作机制,制修订重污染天气应急预案,加强重污染过程应对效果评估。明确重污染天气应急仅针对 PM2.5污染过程。因沙尘、山火、局地扬沙、境外传输等因素造成的重污染天气,不纳入预警应急范畴。各地不得以完成空气质量改善目标为理由,随意启动重污染天气预警、提高预警级别、延长预警响应时间。意见稿要求重点区域和其他近三年发生重污染天气的省市县,按最新预警分级标准等相关要求,应于 2023 年底前完成应急预案制修订。意见稿附表发布了重污染天气预警分级标准。

The consultation paper optimizes the criteria for warning activation, optimizes the conditions for warning issuing, adjusting and lifting, standardizes the early warning response and lifting process, strengthens the regional emergency linkage and cooperation mechanism, formulates and revises emergency plans for heavily polluted weather, and strengthens the evaluation of the coping effects of heavy pollution processes.The consultation paper clarifies that the emergency response for heavily polluted weather is only applicable to the PM2.5 pollution process. Heavily polluted weather caused by factors such as sand and dust, mountain fires, local sand blowing, and overseas transmission is not included in the scope of early warning and emergency response. Local governments are not allowed to arbitrarily initiate heavy pollution weather warnings, increase warning levels, or extend warning response times on the grounds of achieving air quality improvement goals.The consultation paper requires key regions and other provinces, cities, and counties that have experienced heavily polluted weather in the past three years to complete the revision of emergency response plans by the end of 2023 in accordance with the latest warning classification standards and other relevant requirements.

The attached table of the consultation paper has released the classification standards for the warning of heavily polluted weather.

上海市:上海市固定污染源生态环境监督管理办法Shanghai Municipality: Measures for the Supervision and Management of the Ecological Environment of Fixed Pollution Sources in Shanghai Municipality

文件修订了2021年《上海市固定污染源生态环境监督管理办法(试行)》。本次修订明确重点监管对象为纳入环境监管重点单位名录的固定污染源;明确将根据排污许可分类管理名录新纳入排污许可重点管理的持证单位,以及依据《上海市企事业单位生态环境信用评价管理办法(试行)》生态环境信用评价结果为D级的固定污染源,动态纳入重点监管对象范围。新增执法监测频次的最低要求,对重点监管对象的主要排放口每5年至少开展1次执法监测;对一般监管对象至少抽取总数的10%开展一次执法监测。

The document revised the 2021 “Measures for the Supervision and Management of the Ecological Environment of Fixed Pollution Sources in Shanghai Municipality (Trial).”This revision clarifies that the key regulatory objects are fixed pollution sources included in the list of key enterprises for environmental supervision; it clearly defines the licensed units that are newly included in the key management of pollutant discharge permits based on the classification and management list of pollution discharge, as well as the fixed pollution sources that are classified as D-level ecological environment credit evaluation results according to the “Management Measures for Ecological Environment Credit Evaluation of Enterprises and Public Institutions in Shanghai Municipality (Trial)”; and dynamically incorporate those fixed pollution sources and licensed units in the scope of key regulatory objects.

This revision adds the minimum requirements on enforcement monitoring frequency, namely, at least one every 5 years for main emission outlets of key regulatory targets, and at least 10% of the total number of general regulatory targets to be sampled for enforcement monitoring.
