Arcelor Mittal joins UN in China pollution project
Bloomberg News
Tuesday, February 6, 2007
BEIJING: Arcelor Mittal, the world's biggest steel maker, plans to set up carbon credit brokerages in western China with the United Nations to spur investments in technology that reduce emissions, UN officials said Tuesday in Beijing.
The three-year, $1.7 million project will place brokerages in 12 regions in western China, including Xinjiang, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia, to broker international investments in local businesses to reduce emissions and help halt climate change, the UN said.
The 1997 Kyoto Protocol lets companies in developed nations buy credits from projects that reduce emissions in developing economies, where cleaning up production processes is typically cheaper. Those credits can be sold in carbon-trading systems like that of the European Union, helping rich nations meet Kyoto targets.
The UN is trying to help China invest in cleaner industrial technology. China could overtake the United States as the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide by 2009.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming that could raise average world temperature by up to 6.4 degrees Celsius (11.5 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century, a UN panel of scientists said Friday.
"Assisting China in its efforts to cope with the impact of global climate change and to create more sustainable, less greenhouse-gas intensive development paths is an important focus," said Khalid Malik, the UN resident coordinator in China.
China, the world's fastest-growing major economy and supplier of a third of global carbon credits, is unlikely to meet a government target of reducing the amount of energy used to produce each unit of gross domestic product by 20 percent before the end of 2010, the International Energy Agency said in December.
To cut pollution and raise efficiency, China will shut 60,000 megawatts of electricity-generating capacity at smaller power plants by 2010, Zhao Xiaoping, director of the energy bureau at the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission, said Thursday.
China, the world's fourth-largest economy, is classified as a developing country under the Kyoto Protocol, enabling it to voluntarily sell the credits to cut its output of pollutants.
Arcelor Mittal is providing financial support, the UN said, without specifying the amount.
