JCM participants see potential with GX-ETS launch
Here are some key takeaways from the report
Market participants expect JCM demand to grow slowly over the next few years
This is due to the high initial number of free allowances in the GX-ETS and the price corridor being set lower than expected (1700-4300 Yen, c. $11-30)
On the supply side, there is a focus on project types for which the cost is lower than the floor price of GX-ETS allowance.
Sign-off by the joint committee is seen as a key barrier to supply coming to market, with significant uncertainty around the process for host country authorisation
Some developers are looking to other markets now, like CORSIA, as a source of more near-term demand
