On September 15, the 2026 China Carbon Market Conference was held. Since this year, a series of policies, such as industry expansion, release of quota plans, and implementation of rigid assessments, have continued to gain strength, and the national carbon market is entering a critical period of development to improve quality and efficiency. It coincides with the 5th anniversary of the operation of the national carbon market and the critical time of the “15th Five-Year Plan”. Accelerating the construction of the national carbon market will provide strong support for the “double control of carbon emissions” system. As the core gripper for building a national carbon market, continuing to expand coverage is the focus of future work. Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment Li Gao said at the press conference of the State Information Office a few days ago that the national carbon emissions trading market will expand from the four industries of power generation, steel, cement, and aluminum smelting to high-emission industries such as petrochemicals and chemicals to achieve effective control of about 80% of the country's carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, the national voluntary emission reduction trading market will provide incentives for carbon reduction and remittance enhancement projects in more fields, so that the whole society can truly feel that “carbon emissions have costs, and carbon reduction has benefits.” The countdown has also begun for financial institutions to enter the market. The reporter learned that relevant departments are speeding up the participation of financial institutions in carbon market transactions and regulating and guiding the development of businesses such as carbon pledging and carbon buyback. The market generally anticipates that the first batch of financial institutions is expected to enter the market within this year. Experts said that the entry of financial institutions can enrich market participants and effectively enhance market liquidity, but it is also necessary to simultaneously improve supporting supervision systems, focusing on preventing excessive speculation and risk of market manipulation, and ensuring the smooth operation of the market.
