China's Carbon Trading Scheme Poised to Transform Energy Landscape, Boost Sustainability
China has introduced a carbon trading system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, starting with the power industry. A study used a model to see how this system would impact the economy. Different scenarios were tested, including one where power prices are set by the government and one where they are set by the market. The results showed that implementing a carbon trading system in all sectors could have a significant effect on China's emissions.
