Under a cap-and-trade program, laws or regulations would limit or ‘cap’ carbon emissions from particular sectors of the economy (or the whole economy) and issue allowances (or permits to emit carbon) to match the cap. For example, if the cap was 10,000 tons of carbon, there would be 10,000 one-ton allowances.

The study estimated that a cap-and-trade program for gasoline would cost the average Massachusetts driver $7 a month and generate $500 million in annual revenue for the state. The cap-and-trade program is designed to achieve an 80% reduction in emissions from the covered facilities from8.96 million metric tons in 2018 to 1.8 million metric tons in 2050. The regulation was accompanied by a Clean Energy Standard requiring an increasing share of electricity from clean energy generation (fossil fuels with carbon capture, nuclear, renewables), reaching 80% by 2050.

Houston/Galveston/Brazoria (HGB) Mass Emission Cap & Trade Program (MECT) is administered by the Texas Commission on Environment Quality (TCEQ). The program establishes a mandatory annual NOx emission cap for major source facilities or where the site collectively has the potential to emit ten tons or more per year (tpy) of NOx.
