The EPA on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2009, released a report
showing that more than 103 million Americans breathe cleaner air thanks to its
cap-and-trade program for NOX control. The 2008
NOX Budget Trading Program Annual Report,
covering 20 eastern states and the District of Columbia, showed the summertime
NOX emissions from power plants and large industrial
sources were down by 62 percent compared to year 2000 levels and 75 percent
lower than in 1990.
The NOX Budget Trading Program is a partnership between federal and state governments to reduce the regional transport of NOX from power plants and industry in the eastern U.S.
The agency noted the program's flexibility and an active NOX allowance market have led to near perfect compliance since the start of the program in 2003.
