Proposed Scenarios for Total Emissions Control of So2 Emissions during the Tenth Five-year Plan in China
China continues its strategy of total emissions control (TEC) or total load control for SO2 in the Tenth Five Years (2001~2005). This paper will analyze the status of SO2 TEC in China during the Ninth Five-Years (1996~2000). Based on the results of the analysis and the theory of divisional air resources, this paper will study the target of total SO2 emissions nationwide and its allocation for d...
متن کاملLessons Learned from SO2 Allowance Trading
The most ambitious application yet undertaken of a market-based instrument for environmental protection has been for the control of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in the context of acid rain reduction under Title IV of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990. That Act established an allowance trading program to cut SO2 emissions by 10 million tons from 1980 levels—a 50% reduction. In this article,...
متن کاملA Spatial Analysis of Predictors of Ambient Sulfur Dioxide Concentrations in the United States Abstract: Despite the success of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Acid Rain Program in reducing national sulfur dioxide emissions from electricity generation
Despite the success of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Acid Rain Program in reducing national sulfur dioxide emissions from electricity generation in a timely and costsaving manner, expected improvements in the environment have not followed in a linear fashion. While ambient sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentrations and acid deposition have decreased across the US, the health and ecological ...
متن کاملThe Trend of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions in China after 2000
With the rapid development of the economy, the sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission from China since 2000 is of increasing concern. In this work, we first presented the change of SO2 emission in China since 2000 using a technology-based methodology. Then, we compared the SO2 emission data with a variety of official statistics, ground-based measurements and satellite observations of sulfur related quan...
متن کاملVoluntary Compliance with Market-Based Environmental Policy: Evidence from the U.S. Acid Rain Program
The U.S. acid rain program, Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, is a pioneering experience in environmental regulation by setting a market for electric utility emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and by including a voluntary compliance provision. Under the Substitution provision, non-affected electric utility units can voluntarily become subject to all compliance requirements of affect...
