The tally has come up as the government plans to set a threshold for companies subject to joining the emissions trading scheme at those releasing 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide or more a year, around the same level as the European Union and South Korea with similar systems, the government said. With hundreds taking part from a broad range of industries such as electricity, steel, cars and airlines, the system is estimated to cover about 60 percent of domestic greenhouse gas emissions. Japan is the world's fifth-largest CO2 emitter. Under the trading system, emissions quotas will be allocated to each company for free. If a company's emissions surpass its quotas, it must purchase additional quotas at the market, while a company with surplus quotas can sell them like stocks. While the system is expected to encourage emissions cuts, companies could pass on the costs, burdening consumers.
