First of all, individuals can participate in carbon trading, but the national carbon trading system has not been officially launched, and specific account opening and other matters have not been announced.
However, you can refer to the account opening process of individual investors in the trading pilot institutions.
Take the account opening process of Tianjin Carbon Emissions Exchange as an example.
1. Open a bank account
Investors need to open a bank account first, and can open a bank account or bank card at any branch of the settlement bank of the exchange. If you have a corresponding bank card before, you can ignore this step. (The settlement bank of each exchange is different, such as China Merchants Bank of Tianjin Exchange) 2. Qualified investors confirm that individual investors must meet the conditions of age 18 to 60 years old and financial assets of not less than 300,000 yuan. (The threshold for opening an account in each exchange is different, some are high and some are low. ) 3. Choose a trading member exchange and implement a member management system. Investors can choose their own trading members and open trading accounts.
4. Contact the trading member and submit the information.
Personal portfolio and account opening need to be submitted: account opening application form, risk disclosure, copy of ID card, and exchange members will open a trading account after verification.
5. Sign the tripartite depository agreement.
Investors go to the exchange settlement bank to sign a tripartite depository agreement.
6. Store and download the client
Through online banking or bank counters, you can deposit money, download the client on the website of the exchange, and transfer the money into transactions.
The main purpose of establishing a carbon trading market is to control greenhouse gas emissions and serve green and low-carbon development, rather than targeting individual investors. The carbon trading market is a multi-risk trading market, and individual investors must fully understand it before considering whether to enter.
