Here are several ways we've helped others. How may we help you?

Case Study: CAAC served as an advisor to a government agency in their effort to develop a trading rule for their electricity restructuring regulation. CAAC's work included development of an open market trading component, and providing a better understanding of the intricacies of the different trading systems, NOx transport, and utility emissions.
Case Study: CAAC developed the first open market trading registry to facilitate the tracking of credits from their creation to their use. It has become a key element in the design and acceptance of open market trading programs. CAAC's registry was the official registry of one state until it went in-house, continues to be the official registry of PERT in Canada, and served as a model for design specifications for others.
Case Study: CAAC helped a state develop their trading rule for NOx RACT. A 3-paragraph addition to the RACT regulation resulted in a 110% compliance factor for that rule. CAAC had the first trade under the state's trading rule approved by the EPA through the submittal of single source SIP revisions.
Case Study: After one city twice exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone, CAAC brought together a group of concerned public officials, citizens, and industry leaders to create a system whereby businesses take actions to reduce their air pollution emissions, and these actions would have a value, which could then be traded with other businesses. This program, called MERIT, for Maximizing Emission Reductions through Inter-source Trading, was the first multi-stakeholder trading initiative in the country. This helped the city to stay in attainment for ozone.
