Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group has fully completed the carbon quota compliance
Recently, the reporter learned from the Carbon Neutrality Office of TISCO Group that in December 2021, TISCO Group completed the performance and payment of carbon emission quotas for Taigang Stainless and Lanxian Mining-owned power plants, which is the national carbon emission rights trading market. The first batch of iron and steel enterprises with self-provided power plants in the first contract performance period after establishment.
The “Measures for the Administration of Carbon Emissions Trading (Trial)” was reviewed and approved on December 25, 2020, and will come into force on February 1, 2021. Article 10 of the Measures for the Administration of Carbon Emissions Trading (for Trial Implementation) stipulates that key emission entities shall control greenhouse gas emissions, report carbon emission data, clear and pay carbon emission quotas, disclose information on trading and related activities, and accept the approval of the competent ecological environment department.
Supervision and management. At present, Baowu has three self-provided power plants included in the national carbon emission rights trading market, namely Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group Taigang Stainless Steel Captive Power Plant, Taiyuan Iron, and Steel Group Lanxian Mining Captive Power Plant, and Baosteel Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.
After being included in the list of key emission units in the national carbon emission trading quota management in 2019-2020, TISCO Group attached great importance to it, and the Carbon Neutrality Office led the establishment of a professional working group.
The procedures and accounting methods stipulated in the “Enterprise)”, combined with the actual situation of TISCO, improved the corresponding measuring instrument system, carried out high-precision calibration and verification, and established a monthly reporting system; the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection optimized and improved the key parameter measurement system, scientifically determined The accounting boundary and carbon emission sources were established, the data quality control plan was compiled, and the establishment of the self-monitoring system was completed.
According to the requirements of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, TISCO completed the greenhouse gas emission report in more than four months, accepted the third-party verification and the fourth-party review, and confirmed the carbon emission quota for 2019-2020. According to the “Measures for the Administration of Carbon Emissions Trading (Trial)”, the work of opening an account, registering information, and clearing allowances in the National Carbon Emissions Registration System of the Hubei Carbon Emissions Trading Center has been completed. After the settlement, TISCO’s stainless carbon quota still has a surplus.
Within TISCO Group, TISCO Stainless helped Lanxian Mining to successfully fulfill the contract by means of market-oriented transactions. At the same time, under the guidance of Baowu Carbon Neutrality Office, Taiyuan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. coordinated with the National Carbon Emission Rights Trading Market of the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange to help Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. complete the payment of carbon allowances in a market-oriented manner. Work. This is also the implementation and implementation of the concept of “One Baowu” by TISCO.
Since its establishment in April 2021, the Carbon Neutrality Office of TISCO Group has actively promoted the construction of carbon neutrality professionals, organized and carried out carbon emission accounting for each process, carbon emission reduction path analysis, and low-carbon metallurgical process research. The emission performance evaluation system has been initially established, the low-carbon action plan has entered the drafting stage, and carbon measurement, carbon verification, carbon trading, carbon asset management, and other work have been carried out in an all-around way. A solid foundation has been laid for the new phase of management.
The establishment of a national unified carbon emission trading market is an important decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. It is one of the core policy tools for the construction of ecological civilization, the implementation of international emission reduction commitments, and the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. After 10 years of pilot exploration in seven provinces and cities, the national carbon emissions trading market was launched on July 16 last year.
2021 is the first compliance year for the national carbon market. According to data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, 2,162 key emission units in the power generation industry will be included in the first compliance cycle of the national carbon market, covering an annual greenhouse gas emissions of about 4.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide. Since the official launch of online trading on July 16, 2021, the national carbon market has operated for 114 trading days, with a cumulative transaction volume of 179 million tons of carbon emission allowances and a cumulative transaction value of 7.661 billion yuan. In terms of the amount of compliance, the completion rate of compliance was 99.5%.
