China GHG Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (CCER Program) Summary

Overview

The China GHG Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (CCER program) serves as a supplementary mechanism to national and local compliance carbon markets, enabling enterprises to fulfill compliance obligations at lower costs and promoting carbon neutrality. It incentivizes emission reductions, particularly in sectors not covered by mandatory systems, by offering financial benefits and facilitating the adoption of low-cost technologies.

Historical Development

2012: Program launched with interim measures and guidelines published.
2015: National registry launched, enabling CCER trading.
2017: Previous CCER program suspended due to NDRC's shift of climate change responsibilities to MEE.
2023: New CCER program officially launched by MEE after months of institutional arrangements, marking a key step for China's carbon peaking and neutrality goals.

Key Elements Comparison

Element	New CCER Program	Previous CCER Program
Climate Goal	Contributes to carbon peaking and neutrality	N/A for national offsetting in compliance markets
Covered GHGs	CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3	CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6
Methodologies	Developed and approved by MEE; first batch includes afforestation carbon sink, grid-connected solar thermal power, grid-connected offshore wind power, and mangrove vegetation creation	200 methodologies approved by NDRC from 2013-2016 (173 adopted/modifications from CDM, 27 new)
Registry	Managed by national registration institution; NCSC acted beforehand	Registry of the China GHG Voluntary Emission Reduction Program
Trading Platform	Managed by national trading institution; Beijing Green Exchange acted beforehand	Local exchanges (9 approved)
Validation/Verification Bodies	Approved by MEE and SAMR; violations fined ¥50,000-¥200,000	12 bodies approved by NDRC; fines ¥10,000-¥100,000
Offsetting National Carbon Market	Key entities can use CCERs to offset up to 5% of annual carbon emission allowances	Same offset scope

Timeline Highlights

2012: Start of previous program with measures and guidelines released.
2013-2016: Methodologies and exchanges approved in batches.
2017: Suspension of new projects and credits under previous program.
2018: Transfer of climate change responsibilities from NDRC to MEE.
2023: New program regulations released on October 19; first batch methodologies on October 24; official launch on January 22.

Regulations and Rules

Primary Documents:
- Measures for the Administration of Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading (Trial) – October 19, 2023.
- Project Methodologies – Released by MEE (e.g., afforestation on October 24).
- Registration and Trading Rules – Post-December 14, 2023 releases.
- Offset mechanisms under national ETS based on 2021-2023 procedures.

EDF's Involvement

EDF played a role in supporting CCER program development since 2012, including policy design, methodology research, and infrastructure support, which contributed to both the previous program's operation and the new program's launch. This support aids China's climate goals, particularly carbon peaking and neutrality.
