据世界能源新闻伦敦报道，全球金融市场数据及基础设施提供商Refinitiv近日发表的一份报告显示，全球碳市场的总价值在2019年增加了34%，达到了1940亿欧元(2145亿美元)。

计算显示，去年全球碳市场总价值连续第3年增加，自2017年以来，全球碳市场总价值增加了近5倍。

Refinitiv在21日晚些时候发布的报告中说：“欧盟排放交易体系(EU ETS)创纪录的强有力的价格是其价值增加背后的主要原因，该体系占全球交易量的近80%。”

Refinitiv表示，去年欧盟排放交易体系的平均碳价格略低于25.欧元/吨，比2018年上涨了9欧元/吨。

Refinitiv表示，价格上涨的主要动力是2019年1月开始生效的市场稳定储备，保留了大量的配额并收紧了供应。

Refinitiv说，新的欧盟委员会的绿色协议提议以及重新开启2030年减排目标的讨论也提供了支持。更高的碳价格使得欧洲的天然气发电厂比燃煤发电厂更有竞争力，并有助于减少碳排放。

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.
