電力会社に負担、３３年度から　排出量取引、段階的導入―経産省

　経済産業省は１４日に審議会を開き、二酸化炭素（ＣＯ２）排出量に応じ企業に金銭的負担を求める「カーボンプライシング（ＣＰ）」導入に向け制度案を示した。企業が排出したＣＯ２削減量を売買する排出量取引制度を２０２６年度をめどに本格化。３３年度ごろから電力会社に対し、段階的に有償で排出枠を買い取らせて負担を求める。
　月内に開く「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）に報告し、最終決定する。（2022/12/14-20:53）

Japan's industry ministry presented a draft plan Wednesday for a proposed carbon pricing system under which companies will pay for their carbon dioxide emissions according to the amounts.
   The plan, shown at a ministry panel meeting, also envisions that a full-fledged carbon emission trading system will start as early as fiscal 2026 and that power utilities will be required to buy emission quotas in stages from around fiscal 2033.
   The plan is expected to be reported to the government's green transformation implementation council, headed by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, within this month for a final decision.
   The government estimates that over 150 trillion yen in public and private investments will be necessary in the next decade to promote decarbonization.
   Of the total, about 20 trillion yen will be raised by issuing new green transformation bonds, which will be managed under a special account of the government.
