碳權供應有限 新加坡允許企業未用額度延至2025年
Carbon tax-paying firms can carry over unused offsets to 2025 due to limited carbon credit supply
Carbon tax-liable companies in Singapore, which have been able to use eligible carbon credits to offset up to 5 per cent of their emissions each year, will be allowed to roll over their unused offset limit in 2024 to 2025. This means that if any of the roughly 50 such tax-paying facilities here did not use any carbon offsets in 2024, they may offset up to 10 per cent of their emissions in 2025. The National Environment Agency (NEA), which is the carbon tax-administering agency, announced this on its website, saying it was allowing this due to the “constrained supply of international carbon credits for emissions year 2024”. Singapore is making headway in its quest to source carbon credits from its partners around the world, and has inked carbon trading agreements with seven countries since 2023, including Paraguay, Bhutan and Ghana. However, no credits have come online yet. Singapore’s carbon tax covers around 70 per cent of the Republic’s greenhouse gas emissions, which come from about 50 facilities in the manufacturing, power, waste and water sectors, according to the National Climate Change Secretariat’s website. These tax-liable facilities emit more than 25,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually and, since 2024, have been paying $25 a tonne. This was up from the rate of $5 a tonne imposed between 2019 and 2023. The tax will subsequently go up to $45 a tonne in 2026 and 2027, with a view to reaching between $50 and $80 a tonne by 2030.
新加坡規範需要繳交碳稅 的企業，每年可使用符合資格的碳權抵銷最多5%的排放量。國家環境局宣布，因應2024年排放年度國際碳權供應有限，企業若在2024年未使用該抵銷額度，將可以轉移到2025年使用。表示企業在2024年未使用任何碳權，2025年可抵銷最多10%的排放量。 新加坡目前積極與其他國家進行碳權合作，自2023年以來，已與巴拉圭、不丹及迦納等七個國家簽署碳權交易協議。然而，目前尚無碳權正式上線可供使用。 根據氣候變化秘書處的資料，每年排放量超過25,000噸溫室氣體的企業需要繳交碳稅，主要來自50家製造、能源、廢棄物與水務單位，涵蓋新加坡約70%的溫室氣體排放量。2019年至2023年間，碳稅每噸5新幣；自2024年起，調整為每噸25新幣。並預計在2026至2027年進一步調升至每噸45新幣，在2030年前達到每噸50至80新幣。
