This study examines key requirements & components of a Canada-United States cross-border cap & trade program for sulphur dioxide (SO2) & nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Section A explains the air quality information relevant to the Canada-US transboundary region, including air quality problems shared by both countries, sources & geographic distribution of precursor emissions, and shared source regions. Section B analyzes the legal framework relevant to a cross-border emissions cap & trading program and describes the legal authority whereby Canada could establish such a regime. Section C examines which industrial sectors are well matched to a cross-border emissions cap & trading program. Section D discussions emissions monitoring & reporting in the two countries and highlights the need for harmonization of the two regimes under a cap & trading program. Section E covers allowances, or the tradable units of a program. It describes allowances & their use, including areas of jurisdictional flexibility such as allowance allocation methods. Section F discusses principles for designing an electronic registry, its components, and centralization of a registry for tracking allowances & emissions. Section G addresses the key questions of compliance & enforcement considerations for a cross-border emissions cap & trading program. Section H uses emission & air quality models to demonstrate the feasibility of analyzing illustrative emission management scenarios.

The purpose of the report is to examine the feasibility of implementing an emission trading plan in Canada. It provides a definition of emissions trading, a brief analysis of American emissions trading plans, and lessons which can be gleaned from the U.S. experience. The study concludes that an emission trading plan is feasible for Canada as long as its implementation coincides with that of an emission reduction plan imposed by the government. When trading is added late in the process, much of its potential for cost saving is lost as a result of numerous restrictions added to deal with problems - real or perceived. The study anticipates the following benefits from a trading plan: i) it would likely reduce overall control costs substantially, ii) it could achieve emission reduction targets with greater speed than if the government relied strictly on emission standards, and iii) it would be no more costly for the government to administer than an equally effective set of emission standards.

A political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing from North American, European, and Asian case studies. Climate change, economists generally agree, is best addressed by putting a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels—by taxing carbon, by cap-and-trade systems, or other methods. But what about the politics of carbon pricing? Do political realities render carbon pricing impracticable? In this book, Barry Rabe offers the first major political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing upon a series of real-world attempts to price carbon over the last two decades in North America, Europe, and Asia. Rabe asks whether these policies have proven politically viable and, if adopted, whether they survive political shifts and managerial challenges over time. The entire policy life cycle is examined, from adoption through advanced implementation, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction. These case studies, Rabe argues, show that despite the considerable political difficulties, carbon pricing can be both feasible and durable.

This book provides a wide overview of the issues related to managing of air quality in Canada. Learn about the air issues that have caused impacts to ecosystems or human health and hence been targeted to be managed. Discover how Canada’s national governance involving a federal government along with provincial and territorial governments impacts the air quality management process. Understand how Canadians manage their air quality in context with the USA, their largest and closest neighbour. Benefit from the experience of 43 of Canada’s most experienced air quality management professionals who share their insights into the state of air quality in Canada today, how it is managed, as well as giving a glimpse into the future.

"This guidebook is intended as a reference for policymakers and regulators considering cap and trade as a policy tool to control pollution. It is intended to be sufficiently generic to apply to various pollutants and environmental concerns; however, it emphasizes cap and trade to control emissions produced from stationary source combustion."--Page 1-1, Introduction.
