Tianjin Climate Exchange (TCX) is China’s first integrated exchange for trading of environmental financial instruments. TCX was unveiled in the fall of 2008.[1]
As a joint venture between the China National Petroleum Corporation Asset Management Company, Ltd. CNPC-AM, the City of Tianjin and Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), TCX aims to establish China as a pre-eminent center for environmental finance and the application of market-based mechanisms to environmental management and natural resource protection.[2]
China's 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10) calls for cutting energy consumption per unit of GDP up to 20 percent by 2010 while reducing major pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 10 percent.[3]
China's Tianjin Climate Exchange is expected to start trading sulfur dioxide emissions and water pollutants, although no launch date has been set.[4] Chicago Climate Exchange is a 25 percent owner in the Tianjin exchange. The balance is held by China National Petroleum Corp Assets Management Co. (53 percent) and government agency Tianjin Property Rights Exchange (22 percent).[5]
