China `could win in cap-and-trade race`
Foundations are being laid for a voluntary cap-and-trade scheme in China - and the country may do it before the US does, insiders have claimed.Philippe Chauvancy, direct of BlueNext, was quoted by Business Green as saying cap-and-trade schemes could be central to the positioning of the two biggest emitters in the run-up to the Copenhagen negotiations. `I really think China might even get there first,` he said, adding: `They have the money, the resources and the will to do it.`Meanwhile, he predicted a US carbon credit trading programme could need two years to be implemented, partly because of the legislative hurdles of checks and balances in the American congress.However, Mark Kenbar, policy director at the Climate Group told the news source he believed American industry was `waking up to the opportunities` in this new market and could soon be lobbying effectively. President Hu Jintao promised during the recent United Nations summit on environmental issues to cut emissions by a `notable margin` by 2020.
