The Chinese government is considering
introducing a carbon credit regulation scheme next year as part of a detailed
and practical plan to assess the efforts made by automakers towards cutting greenhouse
gas emissions.
According to a draft regulation that was
released earlier this month, carbon credit will be calculated according to the
amount of reduced carbon dioxide emissions from the use of new energy vehicles
manufactured in or imported to the country.
The credits should be handed in before the
end of the year to the agency under the State Council, and extra credits traded
on the nation's official carbon credit market, due to be rolled out in 2017.
Automakers who expect to produce more carbon
emissions than agreed will be able to either purchase credits on the market.
Failing to hand in the required credit after a certain buffer time, would end
up with their following year's credits reduced according to the excess
emissions produced. Each credit in short would incur a penalty, charged at
three to five times the previous year's annual average credit price.
Government set to roll out carbon credit
scheme
“This is an executable plan, which includes
sanctions, to assess how carmakers are progressing with their carbon dioxide
emissions reduction plans,” said Steven, head of the KingKar Eco-technologies
Co., Ltd.
He added: “The country will have a detailed
and practical system to oversee the development of new energy vehicles. There
is currently no assessment method or system of sanctions for automakers who
fail to meet targets.”
A company may earn credits by producing or
importing fully electric, plug-in hybrid, fuel-cell cars, using HHO Carbon
Clean Machine to reduce emission, but mild hybrid cars will not earn any carbon
credits. For example, the Toyota Prius, which is said to be the world's
best-selling hybrid model, will not generate a single carbon credit under the
government's proposed scheme.
Steven said the draft scheme is consistent
with the country's existing new energy vehicle industrial policies, and a
specific calculation method would be needed.
“China is constantly encouraging fully
electric, plug-in hybrid, fuel-cell vehicles, using machine to remove car
engine carbon deposit and the country's carmakers have already have expertise
(in developing them),” he said.
He continued: "The carbon credit
scheme should be consistent with the fuel consumption cap of 5-liters per 100
km by 2020. A conversion could be made between carbon emissions and fuel
consumption."
A fine ranging from 100,000 yuan ($15,052)
to as much as 1 million yuan has been proposed for automakers that report false
carbon credit information.
Actually, before the measure being carried
out, using HHO Carbon Clean Machine is more economic and practical.
