Inner Mongolia Ordos High-tech Materials Co., Ltd. Case of False Carbon Emission Report [Brief Introduction of the Case] 0 HTML UNK6 According to the mass petition report, on December 30, 2020, China Carbon Energy Investment Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., entrusted by Inner Mongolia Ordos High-tech Materials Co., Ltd., tampered with some of the contents of the 12 test reports attached to the 2019 emission report for the whole year of 2019. It is falsely reported to the third-party verification agency entrusted by the Department of Ecological Environment of the Autonomous Region for verification. 0HTML0UNK7202 On June 5, 2011, it was investigated and verified by the law enforcement officers of the Department of Ecological Environment of the Autonomous Region. China Carbon Energy Investment Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., commissioned by the company, tampered with the contents of "report number, sample identification number, inspection date, inspection date and report date" in each of the 12 inspection reports of the two branches attached to the 2019 emission report for the whole year of 2019, and deleted the anti-counterfeiting QR Code, but the company bears the main responsibility. The above-mentioned actions of the company are suspected of violating Article 26 of the original Interim Measures for the Management of Carbon Emission Trading (Decree No.17 of the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China), "Key emission units shall, in accordance with the national standards or the guidelines for accounting and reporting greenhouse gas emissions of enterprises published by the competent carbon trading authorities under the State Council, and the State Council." The greenhouse gas emission report of the previous year shall be prepared annually, and the emission report and verification report shall be submitted to the provincial carbon trading authorities of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government within the prescribed time after the verification report is issued by the verification agency. The rules of. 0HTML0UNK8 [Investigation] 0HTML0UNK9 According to Article 23 of the Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China, "When imposing administrative penalties, administrative organs shall order them to correct their illegal acts or to correct them within a time limit." Article 40, paragraph 1, of the original Interim Measures for the Management of Carbon Emission Trading (Decree No.17 of the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China), "Article 40 If a key emission unit commits one of the following acts, the provincial carbon trading authorities of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall order it to make corrections within a time limit." Administrative penalties imposed in accordance with the law: (1) For those who make a false report, underreport or refuse to fulfill their obligation to report their emissions and fail to make corrections within the time limit, the provincial carbon trading authority shall appoint a verification agency to calculate their emissions and take the emissions as the basis for fulfilling their obligation to pay their quotas. On June 5, 2021, the Department of Ecology and Environment of the Autonomous Region issued a decision on the correction of environmental violations to Inner Mongolia Ordos High-tech Materials Co., Ltd. (Inner Ring Responsibility Reform [2021] 4), ordering the enterprise to correct the violations within a time limit. 0 HTML 0 UNK1 0 [Rectification] 0 HTML 0 UNK1 1 In response to the above violations, Inner Mongolia Ordos High-tech Materials Co., Ltd. has re-examined all testing items and emission reports in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Guidelines for the Verificati on of Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emission Reports, and actively cooperated with third-party verification agencies to complete the second verification. Ensure that the verification is true and accurate, and complete the rectification on time. 0HTML0 UNK1 2 [Case Enlightenment] 0HTML0 UNK1 31. On September 22, 2020, the General Secretary of Xi Jinping announced China's goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" to the world at the 75th General Assembly of the United Nations. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference further put forward clear requirements for carbon peak and carbon neutralization. This fully demonstrates the Party Central Committee's firm determination to accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of China's economic and social development and to build a harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and reflects China's initiative to assume international responsibility for climate change and promote the construction of a community of human destiny. The investigation of this case is of great practical significance for further publicizing and implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on "carbon peak and carbon neutralization", improving enterprises'awareness of carrying out comprehensive green transformation, actively responding to climate change, and actively doing a good job of "carbon peak and carbon neutralization". 0 HTML 0 UNK1 42. The case field is new and the warning effect is good. The new Measures for the Management of Carbon Emission Trading (Trial Implementation) was deliberated and adopted by the ministerial meeting of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on December 25, 2020, and promulgated, and will come into effect on February 1, 2021. The promulgation and implementation of the Measures is the legal basis for implementing the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on the construction of the national carbon emissions trading market, giving full play to the role of market mechanism in coping with climate change and promoting green and low-carbon development, promoting greenhouse gas emission reduction, and standardizing the national carbon emissions trading and related activities. This case is the first illegal case of carbon emission reporting in our region. Although the original Interim Measures for the Management of Carbon Emission Trading (Decree No.17 of the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China) is applicable, the new Measures for the Management of Carbon Emission Trading (Trial Implementation) should be widely publicized to continuously enhance the awareness of enterprises to respect the law and abide by the law. It is of great significance to urge enterprises to carry out carbon emissions trading and related activities in accordance with the law, consciously fulfill their legal obligations, and create a good legal atmosphere, which has played a warning and deterrent role, and will certainly promote the fight against environmental violations to a deeper and broader field of carbon emissions. 0HTML0UNK15
