Climate Legislation Briefing - Allowance Value
Briefing on Allowance Value in a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Cap-and-Trade System
March 27, 2009
The Pew Center held a Congressional Briefing on the use of allowance value in a GHG cap-and-trade system. No matter what final form an eventual cap-and-trade system takes, its emissions allowances will represent significant value for decades. The panelists presented different views on how that value should be used, and the key mechanisms for distributing it.
