Greenhouse gas emissions trading is emerging as the policy of choice for addressing global climate change. The emissions-trading market is driven in large part by ongoing Kyoto negotiations, and shaped by successful programs established over the past decade, such as U.S. sulfur-dioxide trading.

This report describes key features of early transactions and the public and private programs that have provided a framework for trading and policy development. It offers case studies of trades between four power companies: TransAlta, HEW, Pacific Gas & Electric, and Ontario Power Generation. It also offers predictions on the evolution of the market and potential scenarios regarding U.S. response to Kyoto. Clearly written and thorough, this report is a helpful primer for anyone who is new to emissions trading and an essential guide for anyone already involved in the market.
