Carbon Performance Evaluation Standard from the Perspective of Carbon Emission Right Trading

Abstract

Carbon performance evaluation standard is an important system to help the enterprise realize low carbon transformation. However, although many organizations and scholars do researches in this field, it still lacks a generally accepted carbon performance evaluation standard. The paper finds that emission difference between actual emission and allowance and carbon price are the key factors to affect carbon performance from the perspective of carbon emission rights trading. The results show that over emission or below emission not only affects economic benefit or loss but also affect environmental benefit or loss. Therefore, the paper puts forward a two dimensional carbon performance evaluation standard of “inner economic benefit-outer environmental benefitâ€. This standard is helpful to strengthen carbon emission reduction of the enterprise and also helpful to anticipate carbon trading and develop carbon emission rights market.
