【管理辞典】碳信用 / Carbon Credit

「释义」

碳信用又称碳权，指在经过联合国或联合国认可的减排组织认证的条件下，国家或企业以增加能源使用效率、减少污染或减少开发等方式减少碳排放，因此得到可以进入碳交易市场的碳排放计量单位。

「应用场景」

以碳信用为例。许多企业仰赖碳信用做为抵销温室气排放的近期桥接措施，或是长期主要策略。但我们服务的BCG预期，碳信用额度在未来十年会严重短缺。根据BCG的分析，即使在保守的假设情境下，每年进入市场的碳信用净供给在2030年会出现三亿吨二氧化碳当量（MtCO2e）的供给缺口。实际上，市场缺口可能会比预计更严重，因为虽然企业努力抵销现在和过去的排放量，过往年度的赤字同时在逐年累积。

Consider carbon credits, for example. Many companies rely on them as a near-term bridge or as a long-term primary strategy for offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. But at BCG, we anticipate that a significant shortage in carbon credit availability will emerge over the next decade. Under even a conservative scenario, the net supply of credits annually coming onto the market will fall short of supply by 300 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2030, according to our analysis. This market shortage will likely be exacerbated by a compounding effect in which deficits from prior years stack on top of one another as companies fight to offset both current and historical emissions.
