🔛 China's transition into #Carbon Dual Control hits the START button
On 9 June, Shanghai Municipality issued a notice on the 'Assessment of Energy, Carbon Emissions and Intensity of key units in 2025'
Furthermore, in the recent exchanges with China-based experts, I increasingly hear the word 'total carbon emissions 总量', both in the context of #ETS Cap and related to Dual Control.
So the recognition of an eventual switching from intensity-to absolute emissions might also be under way📉
The EU wants to extend charges for carbon emissions to foreign flights and use the revenue to support its transition to clean energy.
The proposal is part of a reform of the #EUETSbloomberg.com/news/articles/…
...on another note, China has stated in the high-level guideline that its national carbon market will expand to cover Civil Aviation sector, at the latest by 2027. #CarbonPricing
The EU ETS has provided substantial support to the uptake of SAF
and an extension of the scope would not only cover a greater amount of emissions, but it would also increase revenues from €3 billion in 2024 to an additional €7 billion. This increase in revenue would help to accelerate the decarbonisation of the aviation sector.

China is preparing to spend $295 billion over five years on building data centers across the country #AI
The idea is to rely on local suppliers including Huawei for at least 80% of technology such as AI chips

🏭Since the launch of trading in July 2021, China's national carbon market #ETS now covers four sectors: power generation, steel, cement, and aluminum smelting, including more than 3,300 enterprises and 8.2 billion tons of emissions, making it the world's largest carbon market.
It's early, but June figures are showing a signifcant increase in LNG imports by Chinese buyers. The numbers imply spot buying to cover some of the losses from Qatari contracted volumes; an unequivocally bullish sign given the country's higher pricing threshold. @ColumbiaUEnergy
