排出量市場の創設提言 CO2削減、企業の自主参加で―経産省

 経済産業省は5日、脱炭素社会の実現に向け、二酸化炭素(CO2)に価格を付けて企業に排出量削減を促す「カーボンプライシング」(炭素価格付け、CP)の手法を検討する有識者研究会を開いた。2月からの議論の中間整理案をまとめ、自主的にCO2削減目標を定めた企業が参加する枠組みをつくり、排出削減分を売買できる排出量取引市場を創設する方向を示した。
 経産省は年末までにCP導入の在り方で一定の結論をまとめる方針。ただ、環境省はCO2排出に新たに課税する「炭素税」や、対象企業全ての参加を前提とした排出量取引制度など、強制的に排出削減を促す仕組みを検討しており、政府内で調整が必要となる。(2021/08/05-19:06)

Japan Ministry Panel Proposes Emissions Trading Market


An expert panel of Japan's industry ministry proposed Thursday creating a carbon dioxide emissions trading market in which companies with voluntary emissions reduction goals would participate.
   The proposal was included in an interim summary of discussions at the panel, which has been studying carbon pricing mechanisms since February.
   The ministry plans to draw some conclusion on a carbon pricing system by the year-end.
   But coordination will be needed within the government, with the Environment Ministry discussing forcible mechanisms to promote emissions reductions, such as a carbon tax, to be imposed according to the amounts of emissions, and an emissions trading system joined by all related companies.
   The industry ministry panel's proposal calls for creating a carbon-neutral top league consisting of companies that have set voluntary goals of CO2 emissions cuts.
