Carbon Pollution Pricing

Carbon pollution pricing establishes a pollution fee or cap-and-trade program on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with each sector/source of emissions within the state. Programs typically cover the electricity, buildings, transportation, and/or industrial sectors.

California's Cap-and-Trade Program covers the electricity, buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors, covering around 80% of state emissions.

2025 law extends the program through 2045.

Colorado's baseline-and-credit trading system allows industrial sources emitting over 25,000 metric tons of CO2e per year to generate and purchase credits generated when these sources reduce their emissions more than required for 2030. The system also allows gas distribution utilities to purchase recovered methane credits from eligible projects for use towards their clean heat targets.

The industrial market will also expand to allow for midstream oil and gas operators to participate in 2028.

The state is also developing an economy-wide cap-and-invest program aligned, with implementation expected in 2028.

The 2023 budget included language that prohibits the governor and state agencies from requiring electric utilities to join a cap-and-trade program.

The Climate Protection Program sets an enforceable declining cap on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels used throughout Oregon, including diesel, gasoline, and natural gas. The program is designed to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2035 and 90% by 2050.

Pennsylvania developed a regulation in 2022 to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which is a cap-and-trade program that covers the electricity sector. In July 2022, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania halted the state’s participation due to ongoing lawsuits regarding the regulation, and in November 2023, ruled that RGGI participation violates the state constitution.

The state also issued a study on expanding regional cap-and-invest program to other sectors, potentially including transportation and heating. The report notes that benefits of a cap-and-invest program would not be fully realized until the mid-2030s, and could not contribute to the 2030 GWSA target, but would more likely to support the 2050 target.
