去年全球碳排放交易筹集到创纪录的630亿美元收入

 据油价网2023年3月22日报道，政府间论坛国际碳行动伙伴关系(ICAP)在周三发表的一份新报告中称，由于能源危机促使政策制定者加倍努力脱碳，排放交易系统(ETS)去年为各国政府筹集了创纪录的630亿美元。

排放交易制度通常规定经营者或部门可以排放的温室气体总量。排放上限将逐步降低，从而使总排放量下降。在有排放交易系统的辖区内，运营商购买或接收排放配额，这些配额可以根据需要进行交易。

ICAP表示：“排放交易系统正在创造创纪录的收入水平，这些收入既可用于进一步减少温室气体排放，也可用于减轻低收入社区和家庭的负担，可以直接通过退税，也可以间接用于资助国有住房的能效改进。” 

报告指出，目前全球有28个这样的排放交易系统在运行，21个处于不同的开发和考虑阶段。

ICAP表示：“由于配额价格上涨和越来越多地使用拍卖，自2008年以来，排放交易系统筹集的总收入中有一半以上是在2021年和2022年筹集的，许多政府将这些资源用于进一步的气候行动，补贴新兴技术，或支持低收入家庭。”

ICAP秘书处负责人Stefano De Clara表示：“排放交易系统为引导对脱碳的投资发出了一个重要的价格信号，如果设计得当，还可以通过向最需要帮助的社区提供帮助，确保实现包容性和公正的转型。”

欧盟是世界上最大的排放交易市场，去年价格折让平均为每吨二氧化碳当量83.10美元。

根据ICAP的报告，截至2022年，全球碳排放交易系统的价格与当年基本持平。

Global Emissions Trading Raised A Record $63 Billion In 2022

Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) raised a record $63 billion for governments last year, as the energy crisis pushed policymakers to double down on decarbonization efforts, intergovernmental forum International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) said in a new report on Wednesday. 

ETSs generally set the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted by operators or sectors. The cap is gradually reduced so that total emissions drop. In jurisdictions with ETSs, operators buy or receive emission allowances, which can be traded as needed.

“ETSs are generating record level of revenues that can be used to both deliver further GHG reductions and to alleviate the burden on low-income communities and households, either directly via rebates or indirectly, such as funding energy efficiency improvements in state housing,” ICAP said.

Currently, there are 28 such systems operating around the world, and 21 at different stages of development and consideration, the report noted.

“As a result of higher allowance prices and an increasing use of auctioning, more than half of the total revenue raised by ETSs since 2008 was collected in 2021 and 2022, with many governments channeling these resources back into further climate action, subsidizing emerging technologies, or supporting lower-income households,” ICAP said.

“Emissions trading sends an important price signal to direct investment to decarbonization and can also, if designed well, ensure an inclusive and just transition by directing help to those communities which need it the most,” said Stefano De Clara, Head of the ICAP Secretariat.

In the EU, the biggest ETS market in the world, the allowance price averaged $83.10 per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2022.

According to ICAP’s report, prices in the world’s emissions trading systems ended 2022 largely unchanged on the year.
