Director of the State Environmental Protection Administration Xie
Zhenhua said Friday that in the coming few years China will
implement an overall volume control and a license system for waste
emission, on the basis of which, trading of sulfur dioxide will be
carried out in some key areas.
In
response to questions at a news conference, Xie said that China and
the United States have had cooperation in the trading of sulfur
dioxide emission, and pilot projects in some places and enterprises
have been doing well. The key to trading waste emission is the
implementation of overall volume control and license system.
He
said that the policy of waste emission trading has been widely
accepted, and the policy is expected to spread further following
the success of the pilot projects.
