Speaking to reporters in Beijing last night, Greg Combet was asked if Australia was going it alone with a high price on carbon emissions.

There are carbon prices in China's economy, by virtue of the different policy mechanisms it has pursued. It's got feed-in tariffs, it's got taxes on high emissions areas of industry.

GREG COMBET: Well I saw a- I think in Sweden it is a carbon tax rate of $150 a tonne.
