Khanh Hoa implements greenhouse gas emission reduction regulations

The Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee has issued official guidance to implement Decree No. 396/2026/ND-CP, which focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the ozone layer. The decree, effective December 12, 2026, clarifies the authority for issuing accounts on the national registration system for greenhouse gas emission quotas and carbon credits.

Under the new regulations, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will manage accounts for facilities allocated emission quotas and organizations participating in specific carbon projects. For projects within a single province, the provincial People's Committee Chairperson holds the authority to issue accounts following project approval. For projects spanning two or more provinces, the Chairperson of the province where the application is received will manage the process.

The regulations aim to clearly define responsibilities between central and local management agencies to facilitate participation in emission reduction activities. Registration can be completed through direct submission, postal services, or online via the National Public Service Portal and the National Identification Application.
