炭素価格付け、段階的に導入　企業の負担増に配慮―岸田首相「次回、１０年間の工程表」・実行会議

　政府は２６日、首相官邸で「ＧＸ（グリーントランスフォーメーション）実行会議」（議長・岸田文雄首相）を開いた。二酸化炭素（ＣＯ２）の排出量に価格を設定し、金銭的な負担を求めて削減を促す「カーボンプライシング（炭素への価格付け、ＣＰ）」を導入するための議論を開始。企業の経済活動に配慮し、当初の負担は低く抑えて段階的に価格を引き上げていく方針を確認した。
　政府は、脱炭素化へ今後１０年間で官民合わせて１５０兆円超の投資が必要と見込む。首相は「次回会議に１０年間の具体的な工程表の素案を提出し、議論いただく」と表明した。（2022/10/26-21:38）

The Japanese government plans to introduce carbon pricing for carbon dioxide emission cuts in stages in order to limit initial costs businesses must bear.
   At a meeting of a panel on green transformation, or GX, on Wednesday, the government confirmed the policy of keeping prices low at first and raising them gradually later under the envisioned carbon pricing system.
   The government says that Japan needs to make more than 150 trillion yen in public and private investments over the coming 10 years to realize decarbonization.
   "A detailed road map for the coming 10 years will be submitted at the next meeting for discussions," Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told Wednesday's meeting of the GX Implementation Council, which he himself leads.
   Of the 150 trillion yen, about 20 trillion yen will be financed with GX economy transition bonds the government plans to issue. The bonds would be redeemed with funds collected through the carbon pricing system.
