摘要

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) on September 20 issued a 60-day public notice for the state's first capand- trade greenhouse-gas (GHG) allowance auction on November 14. The allowances sold at the auction are for compliance with the state's GHG-reduction effort under the 2006 Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32). Compliance with the program begins January 1, 2013, and includes nearly 600 industrial facilities and utilities, according to a CARB statement.
