摘要

Prices for carbon dioxide allowances in the secondary market of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) remained stable in the fourth quarter of 2012, ranging from $1.93 to $2 each, according to a report from RGGI. The volume of activity on the secondary market picked up due to the settlement of futures contracts that expired at the end of December, the March 8 report said. Volume in the secondary market increased from 700,000 allowances in the third quarter to 2.1 million in the fourth.
