Under a cap-and-trade program, the state puts an overall limit on emissions and auctions off pollution permits or “allowances” for each ton of carbon industries plan to emit. Only the largest polluters are targeted, and the idea is that as the emissions limit becomes stricter over time, it will be in industries’ financial interest to switch to green technology. Under a cap-and-trade program, the state puts an overall limit on emissions and auctions off pollution permits or "allowances" for each ton of carbon industries plan to emit. So cap and trade aims to equal out the amount of pollution a dirty industry (like coal) produces with environmentally-sound industries (like wind power), and halt the emission of Carbon dioxide Under a cap-and-trade program, the state puts an overall limit on emissions and auctions off pollution permits or "allowances" for each ton of carbon industries plan to emit. Only the largest polluters are targeted, and the idea is that as the emissions limit becomes stricter over time, it will be in industries' financial interest to switch to green technology. The 98-page bill sketches out how Oregon could use a cap-and-trade system to both force air pollution to a level far below the state’s 1990 emissions and generate money to help pay for projects and initiatives aimed at smoothing the transition to a low-carbon economy. China may be the world’s largest greenhouse gas producer, but Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to make his new commitment to introduce a nationwide cap and trade program to limit greenhouse gas emissions a centerpiece of his speech at the United Nations General Assembly Monday morning.

Specifically, requiring prior government approval of individual trades had raised transactions cost and hampered trade in EPA's Emissions Trading Program in.

News or Press inquiries should be directed to ARB's Public Information Office at (916) 322-2990 Under a cap-and-trade program, laws or regulations would limit or ‘cap’ carbon emissions from particular sectors of the economy (or the whole economy) and issue allowances (or permits to emit carbon) to match the cap. For example, if the cap was 10,000 tons of carbon, there would be 10,000 one-ton allowances.
