China's southern province of Guangdong is planning to expand the number of industries to be included in its carbon-trading exchange amid steps to integrate the regional trading program into a planned national emissions exchange. China Emissions Exchange, which overseas carbon trading in every part of the province except the city of Shenzhen, has finished looking at the greenhouse gas emissions of six industries, including ceramics, civil aviation and paper making, ahead of possibly involving the industries in the program, said Ye Jun, president of the exchange. Next, economic planning authorities at both the provincial and national levels will determine the number of new industries and key emitters to be added, he said during a Feb. 24 phone interview. The exchange covers more than 180 companies in four industries: power, cement, steel and petrochemicals, Ye said.
