Emissions Trading

This page contains news and, when available, background information, on Emissions Trading:. Links on this site lead to other sites on the web.


Emissions Trading: - The creation of surplus emission reductions at certain stacks, vents or similar emissions sources and the use of this surplus to meet or redefine pollution requirements applicable to other emissions sources. This allows one source to increase emissions when another source reduces them, maintaining an overall constant emission level. Facilities that reduce emissions substantially may "bank" their "credits" or sell them to other facilities or industries.
