Emissions-intensive, trade-exposed industries (EITEs) are important local industries and manufacturing facilities that produce a variety of products including transportation fuels, paper, food, building materials, glass, and airplanes. The Legislature directed Ecology to issue allowances at no cost to these industries through to 2034, but did not specify the approach to providing no-cost allowances to EITEs for 2035-2050.
In January, Ecology submitted a report to the Legislature with an analysis of allowance allocation policy options for EITEs after 2034.
