據世界能源新聞倫敦報道，全球金融
市場數據及基礎設施提供商Refinitiv近日發表的一份報告顯示，全球
碳市場的總價值在2019年增加了34%，達到了1940億歐元(2145億美元)。
計算顯示，去年全球碳市場總價值連續第3年增加，自2017年以來，全球碳市場總價值增加了近5倍。
Refinitiv在21日晚些時候發布的報告中說：“歐盟排放交易體系(EU ETS)創紀錄的強有力的價格是其價值增加背后的主要原因，該體系占全球交易量的近80%。”
Refinitiv表示，去年歐盟排放交易體系的平均碳價格略低于25.歐元/噸，比2018年上漲了9歐元/噸。
Refinitiv表示，價格上漲的主要動力是2019年1月開始生效的市場穩定儲備，保留了大量的配額并收緊了供應。
Refinitiv說，新的歐盟委員會的綠色協議提議以及重新開啟2030年
減排目標的討論也提供了支持。更高的碳價格使得歐洲的天然氣發電廠比燃煤發電廠更有競爭力，并有助于減少
碳排放。

Global carbon markets grow 34% in 2019, led by Europe: Refinitiv
The total value of the global carbon markets grew by 34% in 2019 to Eur194 billion ($214.5 billion), according to a report by financial analysis company Refinitiv.
Carbon markets around the world grew for a third consecutive year in 2019, and the value has grown almost fivefold since 2017, the calculation shows.
"Record strong prices in the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which makes up almost 80% of the global traded volume, was the main reason behind the growth in value," Refinitiv said in the report released late Wednesday.
The average carbon price in the EU ETS rose to just under Eur25.00/mt in 2019, up Eur9.00/mt compared with 2018, it said.
The main driver for the price increase was the Market Stability Reserve which came into effect in January 2019, withholding a significant volume of allowances and tightening the supply side, it said.
"The Green Deal proposals of the new European Commission, and talk of reopening the 2030 emissions reduction target, also lent support. Higher carbon prices made gas power plants more competitive against coal in Europe, and helped reduce emissions," Refinitiv said.
