emissions

Emissions trading is a market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for reducing the emissions of pollutants. The concept is also known as cap and trade (CAT) or emissions trading scheme (ETS). One prominent example is carbon emission trading for CO2 and other greenhouse gases which is a tool for climate change mitigation. Other schemes include sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.
In an emissions trading scheme, a central authority or governmental body allocates or sells a limited number (a "cap") of permits that allow a discharge of a specific quantity of a specific pollutant over a set time period. Polluters are required to hold permits in amount equal to their emissions. Polluters that want to increase their emissions must buy permits from others willing to sell them.
Emissions trading is a type of flexible environmental regulation that allows organizations and markets to decide how best to meet policy targets. This is in contrast to command-and-control environmental regulations such as best available technology (BAT) standards and government subsidies.

    Emissions light back on - AGAIN!

    I must be very unlucky and I'm sure you're all very bored hearing about it, BUT the Emissions fault warning is back again! This time I have left the fuel cap off, will go back in half hour, replace it, and also disconnect the 12V battery to see if it resets the problem. Unusually I looked at the...

    Resolution- Engine Emissions fault

    My car went into Glyn Hopkins St Albans today, and they carried out the software update which has cured the Emissions fault. My car was the first one they updated, and I think whilst the fault was present the fuel economy appeared to worsen, which could have been due to the oxygen sensor not...
