31 March 2016 – The Climate Change Division of NDRC has adjusted the application procedure for Carbon Credits for Emissions Reductions (CCER) projects and cancelled the interview section in the application procedure. The climate division will process applications based on advice from experts. NDRC is now discussing the relevant issues and the new assessment criteria could be stricter than the previous one. Changes might include requirements which accept CCER issued after 1.1.2015 or prohibit projects which concern industrial gas-related projects.
