Article Abstract:

Allowances are fixed to a generating company allowing it to release a certain amount of emissions such as Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen oxide up to a fixed 'cap'. The process has proved to be a success because the companies unable to meet the cap can buy credits from the companies that meet the cap at low costs, which leaves them with extra credits.
