Emissions trading is an new environmental economic policy which depends on the market mechanism. It gets more and more concern from all over the world. Comparing with the traditional "command-control"method, the emissions trading can achieve the environmental goal with less cost. It can control the pollutant efficiently and use the volume of the environment entirely, this makes the environmental protection and the economic development coordinately. In recent years, considerable achievements and experience were obtained in practicing emissions trading in pollutant treatment of China. At the same time, the law lags to the need in the reality and lacks instant and necessary legislation preparation. Based on it, the paper introduce the elementary knowledge of the emissions property right and emissions trading firstly, describes the necessity of its existing. Then it further analyzes the feasibility of the emissions trading implementation in our country. finally, in order to work smoothly, the design of policy and the advice of law was put forward. There are four parts in this paper. The first part gives a general description to the emissions trading. Emissions property right in the Law of Environmental Resources refers to, after receiving the license from administrative department the emissions unit has the right of emissions according to the range, time, place, way and quantity stipulated in the license.

The theory of emissionsunscientific way, not conforming to the principle of total amount, all these disadvantages make it can not apply to the deep changes in our current economic and environmental basis. So there must be some breakthrough in this field. Emissions trading system appears under these circumstances. Its setup conforms to our national conditions on the references from foreign experiences and development of our own. So emissions trading has its necessity: 1. the need of developing our socialist market economy; 2. the need of establishing coordinate development; 3. contributes to the effective applying of promoting our current environment policy. The third part gives some analyses on the basic condition and restriction factor of its implementation in China. Implementing emissions trading is effective in our country, because we have formulated a series of rules and regulations about total amount control and license of discharging pollutants which are the foundations of emissions trading. Market economy system is improving which supplies macro-environment for clearing environment property right system. The current environment system and the implementation of national consciousness emissions trading offer better political guarantee and strong social support. The remarkable differences of the average cost in different departments, regions, ownerships and scales, offer feasibility of the implementation of emissions trading. All these are the necessities to establish an emissions trading market. China now is in its fast transition, so the implementation must meet many characteristics and difficulties. The main facets are as followings: The imperfects under socialist market economy system include that the administration system according to administrative region limits the formation of emissions market, modern...
