Cap and Trade

Description:

Cap and trade refers to a market-based approach used to control pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It involves setting a limit (cap) on the total amount of emissions produced by a specific sector or industry. Companies are then granted or required to purchase permits, known as allowances, which allow them to emit a certain amount of pollutants. These allowances can be traded among companies, creating a market where emissions can be bought and sold.

Sample Sentences:
