Looking back on SO{sub 2} trading: What`s good for the environment is good for the market

Journal Article · · Fortnightly
OSTI ID:569452
This article, written by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees, documents patterns and trends in the trading of SO{sub 2} allowances. EPA has developed a framework to investigate the SO{sub 2} allowance market created under the Acid Rain Program. The system provides insight into the level and type of allowance trading activity. Reported transfers are placed into eight categories, which are then divided into three groups: arm`s length transfers, intra-utility transfers, and reallocations. Analysis of over 2400 transfers moving approximately 38 million allowances between 1994 and 1997 are presented. Associated environmental benefits are also analyzed.
