GUANGZHOU, July 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Jul, 2022 ) --:Carbon emissions allowances closed at 78.31 Yuan (about 11.65 U.S. Dollars) per tonne on Wednesday, 1.51 percent down from Tuesday, at Guangzhou Emissions Exchange, the largest local carbon market in China.

A total of 4,830 tonnes of allowances were transacted on Wednesday, with a turnover of 378,225.4 yuan.
