Cap-and-Trade Workshop: Evaluating Allowance Supply


The California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff will host a public workshop to hear from experts and the public on evaluating and understanding the impacts of allowance supply on the Post-2020 Cap-and-Trade Program. The workshop will consist of a moderated panel discussion that brings together experts who are familiar with the California Cap-and-Trade Program and emissions trading systems.  Specifically, Board Resolution 18-51 directs staff to quantify and report to the Board, no later than December 31, 2021, the volume of unused allowances from 2013 through 2020, including volumes held in private accounts, and the potential for unused allowances to hinder the ability of the program to help achieve the SB 32 target.  Resolution 18-51 directs staff to hold a public workshop in 2019 to discuss potential methodologies to evaluate this topic.

DATE:                August 16, 2019
TIME:                 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
