Research on Horizontal Carbon Emission Compensation for Inter-provincial Energy Cooperation Projects

Abstract

In recent years, due to the ecological quality requirements and environmental capacity constraints of the economically developed provinces in the southeastern coastal areas, the transformation of traditional energy cooperation methods into new energy cooperation modes has been promoted. In the process of inter-provincial energy cooperation, the target of cooperation shifts from primary energy to secondary energy, and the carbon emissions in the energy processing process are mainly left in the energy export province. Today, in the control of total energy consumption, carbon emission rights are closely related to regional development rights. Traditional horizontal ecological compensation has not covered compensation for carbon emissions. Research on this has far-reaching significance. This paper takes the carbon compensation framework and the carbon emissions generated in the energy cooperation as the research object, and discusses the carbon emissions generated by the energy export provinces and energy input provinces under different energy cooperation forms.
