Abstract
Carbon emissions transaction is made up of several links, e.g., emissions Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV), allowances allocation, carbon pricing, transaction platform and transaction rules. MRV is an indispensable component, since data accuracy and truthfulness determines allowances computation, allocation efficiency and fulfillment of emissions reduction target. In aggregate, an appropriate MRV regime is an essential part for smooth operation of an emissions trading scheme (Interim Measures for Guangdong Carbon Emissions Administration, Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, 2013, [1]).
