Enigin Update - China Considers Regional Emission Targets
IN AN EFFORT to reach its carbon intensity reduction goal China is considering imposing regional emissions targets, according to a report from Reuters.
The Chinese government aims to reduce its carbon intensity, the amount of CO2 produced per unit of gross domestic product, by 40-45 percent below 2005 levels by 2020.
In 2010 the government actually turned off the power to some industries in order to reach their targets for the previous five-year plan, 2006-2010.
Instead of using such drastic measures, for the next five-year plan, which has yet to haves its targets finally confirmed, the Chinese government is expected to use market mechanisms, such as carbon trading, to reduce emissions.
