The State Council: Interim Regulations on the Administration of Carbon Emissions Trading
近年来，我国碳排放权交易市场建设稳步推进。截至2023年底，全国碳排放权交易市场共纳入2257家发电企业，累计成交量约4.4亿吨，成交额约249亿元。碳排放权交易的政策效应初步显现的同时全国碳排放权交易市场制度建设方面的短板日益明显。
此前我国还没有关于碳排放权交易管理的法律、行政法规，全国碳排放权交易市场运行管理依据环境部门的规章、文件执行，立法位阶较低，权威性不足，难以满足规范交易活动、保障数据质量、惩处违法行为等实际需要。《碳排放权交易管理暂行条例》的颁布和试行，将为全国碳排放权交易市场运行管理提供明确法律依据。
《条例》从六个方面构建碳排放权交易管理的基本制度框架。
一是注册登记机构和交易机构的法律地位和职责。
二是碳排放权交易覆盖范围以及交易产品、交易主体和交易方式。
三是重点排放单位确定。
四是碳排放配额分配。
五是排放报告编制与核查。
六是碳排放配额清缴和市场交易。
对于地方碳排放权交易市场，《条例》施行前建立的地方碳排放权交易市场，应参照《条例》的规定健全完善相关管理制度，加强监督管理。《条例》施行后，不再新建地方碳排放权交易市场，重点排放单位不再参与相同温室气体种类和相同行业的地方碳排放权交易市场的碳排放权交易。
In recent years, the construction of China’s carbon emissions trading market has been steadily advancing. By the end of 2023, the national carbon emissions trading market had included a total of 2,257 power generation enterprises, with a cumulative turnover of about 440 million tons and a turnover of about 24.9 billion RMB. While the advantage of carbon emissions trading has initially appeared, the shortcomings in the institutional basis of the national carbon emissions trading market system become foregrounded.
Before this Regulation, there were no laws and administrative regulations in place as basis for national carbon emissions trading in China, its operation and management were based on the ministerial regulation of the Ministry of Ecological & environmental, which is of a relatively low legislative level with less authority, and it is difficult to meet the practical needs in regulating trading activities, assuring data quality, and punishment, etc. The promulgation and trial implementation of the “Interim Regulations on the Administration of Carbon Emission Trading” will provide a clear legal basis for the operation and management of the national carbon emission trading market.
The “Regulations” construct the basic institutional framework for carbon emissions trading management in six aspects:
• Defines the legal status and responsibilities of registration and trading organizations.
• Defines the coverage of carbon emission quota trading, as well as trading products, subjects and trading methods.
• Determination of key emission units.
• Allocation of carbon emission allowances.
• Emission report preparation and verification.
• Carbon emission quota clearance and market trading.
For the existing local carbon emissions trading markets, they shall refer to the p “Regulations” to improve the management system, strengthen supervision and management. After the implementation of the “Regulations”, no new local carbon emissions trading markets will be established, and key emission units will no longer participate in local carbon emissions trading markets of the same greenhouse gas type in the same industries.

The State Council: Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a Waste-Recycling System
《意见》对加快构建废弃物循环利用体系作了顶层设计和总体部署。按照定量与定性相结合的原则，分2025年、2030年两个阶段提出工作目标。到2025年，初步建成覆盖各领域、各环节的废弃物循环利用体系，主要废弃物循环利用取得积极进展。到2030年，建成覆盖全面、运转高效、规范有序的废弃物循环利用体系。《意见》提出了5方面重点任务和政策举措。一是推进废弃物精细管理和有效回收。二是提高废弃物资源化和再利用水平。三是加强重点废弃物循环利用。四是培育壮大资源循环利用产业。五是完善政策机制。
The “Opinions” provide a top-level design and overall deployment for accelerating the construction of a waste recycling system. Following the principle of combining quantitative and qualitative measures, it proposes working objectives in two stages. By 2025, a waste recycling system covering all fields and segments will be initially built, with obvious progress in major waste recycling. By 2030, a comprehensive, efficient, standardized and orderly waste recycling system will be established.The “Opinions” set five key tasks and policy initiatives.
• promote the fine waste management and effective recycling.
• improve the level of waste resource utilization and reuse.
• strengthen the recycling of key wastes.
• cultivate and grow the resource recycling industry.
• improve the policy mechanism.
Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Catalog for the Classification and Code of Solid Wastes
为落实固体废物转移管理、信息公开和工业固体废物管理台账、排污许可、环境统计等要求，提升固体废物管理规范化、精细化、信息化水平，生态环境部制定并发布《固体废物分类与代码目录》。《目录》适用于工业固体废物管理台账制定、工业固体废物排污许可管理、固体废物跨省转移、固体废物信息公开等工作。目录不作为固体废物属性鉴别的依据。《目录》采用三级分类体系，其中一级分类依据《固体废物污染环境防治法》进行划分，包括工业固体废物、生活垃圾、建筑垃圾、农业固体废物和其他固体废物。二级分类按照产生源和物质属性进行划分。
In order to fulfill needs for solid waste transfer management, information disclosure and industrial solid waste management ledgers, pollution discharge permits, and environmental statistics, and improve the standardization, refinement and digitalization level of solid waste management, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the “Catalog for the Classification and Code of Solid Wastes”.The “Catalog” is applicable to the development of industrial solid waste management accounts, management of industrial solid waste discharge permits, inter-provincial transfer of solid waste, and disclosure of solid waste information. The “Catalog” does not serve as a basis for identification of solid waste properties.
The “Catalog” adopts a three-tier classification system, in which the first-tier classification is based on the “Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste”, including industrial solid waste, domestic garbage, construction waste, agricultural solid waste and other solid waste. The secondary classification is based on the source of generation and material properties.
国家发展改革委：关于加强绿色电力证书与节能降碳政策衔接大力促进非化石能源消费的通知
National Development and Reform Commission: Notice on Strengthening the Integration of Green Power Certificates and Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Policies to Promote Non-Fossil Energy Consumption
在2023年发布的《关于推动能耗双控逐步转向碳排放双控的意见》基础上，《通知》再次强调非化石能源不纳入能源消耗总量和强度调控，将可再生能源、核电等非化石能源消费量从各地区能源消费总量中扣除。《通知》明确将绿证作为可再生能源电力消费的基础凭证，绿证对应电量纳入“十四五”省级人民政府节能目标责任评价考核指标核算。《通知》要求扩大绿证交易范围，建立基于绿证的绿色电力消费认证机制。同时将绿证纳入固定资产投资项目节能审查、碳排放评价管理机制以及统一规范的碳排放核算体系；实行新上项目可再生能源消费承诺制，加快建立高耗能企业可再生能源强制消费机制；各地区要将可再生能源消纳责任分解到重点用能单位，探索实施重点用能单位化石能源消费预算管理，超出预算部分通过购买绿证绿电进行抵消等措施。On the basis of the “Opinions on Promoting Dual Control of Energy Consumption and Gradually Shifting to Dual Control of Carbon Emissions.” issued in 2023, the “Notice” emphasizes once again that non-fossil energy sources will not be included in supervision of the total amount and intensity of energy consumption, and that the consumption of renewable energy, nuclear power and other non-fossil energy sources will be deducted from the total amount of energy consumption of each provinces or cities. The “Notice” explicitly takes the green electricity certificate (GEC) as the basic voucher for renewable energy power consumption, and the corresponding power of GEC is included in the “14th Five-Year Plan” provincial people’s governments’ energy conservation target evaluation and assessment index. “
The “Notice” requires for expanding the scope of GEC trading and establishing a green power consumption certification mechanism based on GEC. At the same time, the GEC will be incorporated into the energy-saving review of the fixed asset investment project, carbon emission assessment, as well as a unified standardized carbon emissions accounting system. Renewable energy consumption commitment will be made and applied for new projects to accelerate renewable energy mandatory consumption mechanism by high energy-consuming enterprises. Local governments shall break down consumption of renewable energy into key energy-using units, and explore the approach to enforce fossil energy consumption budget control by the key energy-using units, the exceedance will be offset through purchasing of GEC and green power etc.
