Cap and trade programme
In the United States, California’s climate policies have led to a steady decline of the state's carbon dioxide pollution. The centerpiece is the cap-and-trade program, which EDF has helped design and implement. California's emissions from sources subject to the cap declined 10% between the program’s launch in 2013 and 2018. A cap and trade program can work in a number of ways, but here are the basics. A government issues a limited number of annual permits that allow companies to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide. The total amount permitted thus becomes the "cap" on emissions. For regulation or program questions contact the Cap-and-Trade Hotline at (916) 322-2037. News or Press inquiries should be directed to ARB's Public Information Office at (916) 322-2990 Cap-and-trade is environmentally and economically friendly approach to capping and controlling greenhouse gas emissions which is the primary cause of global warming. It is a policy move aimed at controlling large amounts of gas emissions from a cluster of sources. Cap and trade is an approach that harnesses market forces to reduce emissions cost-effectively. Like other market-based strategies, it differs from “command-and-control” approaches where the government sets performance standards or dictates technology choices for individual facilities. The cap trade system creates a new knowledge base for consumers because certain products may not be in compliance with the laws. Consumers can then choose whether or not to purchase from businesses who choose to remain out of compliance or attempt to cheat the system.

California cap-and-trade program, launched in 2013, is one of a suite of major policies the state is using to lower its greenhouse gas emissions. California’s program is the fourth largest in the world, following the cap-and-trade programs of the European Union, the Republic of Korea, and the Chinese province of Guangdong. The Pros of a Cap Trade. 1. It creates a new economic resource for industries. The idea of the cap trade is based on two specific points: companies will be encouraged to lower their emissions because there is a low cost to do so while companies that have emissions credits can sell them for extra profit. The Cap and Trade program reduces pollution by imposing limits on emissions — which become more stringent each year. Major emitters must buy an allowance for every ton of carbon dioxide they release into the air. And state law requires that this money be spent on projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Investment Strategy Sixty percent of the Cap and Trade program’s ongoing revenues Cost savings – The acid rain cap and trade program passed by Congress in 1990 achieved reductions at two-thirds the cost of achieving the same reductions under a command-and-control system.This program reduced more pollution in the last decade than all other Clean Air Act command-and-control programs combined during the same period.
