ETS status
National ETS (2021); power sector only; expansion to cement/steel/aluminum planned
Exposed operators
China Energy, Huaneng, Datang, SPIC, Huadian (state-owned 'Big Five'); Sinopec, CNPC, PetroChina
Trade system impact
Power-sector compliance cost is manageable at current ~$13.80/tCO2e. Expected expansion to cement/steel/aluminum 2026-2028 will multiply exposure for industrial operators. Sinopec/CNPC coverage still limited.
Proof-pack relevance
Chinese power operators will need per-tonne evidentiary records once the ETS expands beyond the 2200 power generators. Current allocation methodology is benchmark-based and does not require proof-pack-level disclosure, creating integrity risk as sectors expand.
