Book excerpt: "Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) established a market for transferable sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission allowances among electric utilities. This market offers firms facing high marginal abatement costs the opportunity to purchase the right to emit SO2 from firms with lower costs, and is expected to yield cost savings compared to a command and control approach to environmental regulation. This paper uses econometrically estimated marginal abatement cost functions for power plants affected by Title IV of the CAAA to evaluate the performance of the SO2 allowance market. Specifically, we investigate whether the much-heralded fall in the cost of abating SO2, compared to original estimates, can be attributed to allowance trading. We demonstrate that, for plants using low-sulfur coal to reduce SO2 emissions, technical changes and the fall in low-sulfur coal prices have lowered marginal abatement cost curves by over 50% since 1985. The flexibility to take advantage of these changes is the main source of cost reductions, rather than trading per se. In the long run, allowance trading may achieve cost savings of $700-$800 million per year compared to an "enlightened" command and control program characterized by a uniform emission rate standard. The cost savings would be twice as great if the alternative to trading were forced scrubbing. However, a comparison of potential cost savings in 1995 and 1996 with actual emissions costs suggests that most trading gains were unrealized in the first two years of the program."--Abstract.

Download or read book Sulfur Dioxide written by Brian W. Compton and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sulphur dioxide is widely used in many industrial areas, for example in the production of sulphuric acid, and also as a reducing, bleaching, refrigerating agent and antioxidant. Due to a broad range of applications, it is one of the major atmospheric pollutants. Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas with a strong odour. It is toxic, and its inhalation in high concentrations causes asphyxia, vomiting, and pulmonary oedema. This book presents research data from across the globe in the study of sulphur dioxide. Some topics in this compilation include a discussion of the receptor sites for sulphur dioxide; catalysts for the SO3 decomposition reaction; the physical properties of sulphur dioxide; the theoretical insights into the photoelectron spectroscopy of sulphur dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and states' implementation of the Clean Air Act's provisions concerning copper, zinc, and lead smelters' sulphur dioxide emissions, including: (1) EPA measures to determine smelter compliance with the act and actions it took to enforce such compliance; and (2) factors EPA considered in exempting smelters from certain requirements of the act. GAO found that EPA and states have been effective in getting smelters to reduce emissions and national ambient air quality standard violations. The 1984 levels for both sulphur dioxide emissions and standards violations have been reduced at least 75 percent from the levels in the mid-1970's, even though 50 percent of the reductions were attributable to decreased production. Although EPA and the states have used different enforcement strategies, each has been successful in achieving compliance. EPA has issued consent decrees with compliance schedules and fixed fines for violations, while states have taken enforcement actions without imposing fines. Congress gave smelters the opportunity to defer compliance with emission limitations and installation of expensive constant controls through nonferrous smelter orders, whereby smelters could continue to operate emission dispersion techniques, but were still expected to maintain air quality standards. Although some smelters operating under first-period orders have violated air quality standards, EPA allows those smelters the opportunity to improve their intermittent control systems while deciding whether to award second-period orders. EPA is evaluating whether the smelters have provided an adequate basis to ensure that the national standards will not be violated during the second period.
