Last Month of NOx/Ozone Season Draws to a Close


Trading of odd-lot volumes began to pick up this month, as the ozone season (May – September) draws to a close. With relatively mild weather over the past week, and the end of the ozone season in sight, long and short positions have begun the true up process a few days early. While uncertainty as to the actual quantity exists, it is quite likely that flow control will “kick-in” for 2005 - it’s now just a question of where we fall
  in the predicted range of 175,000 – 200,000 tons leftover. Please keep in mind that all unit accounts for NOx must be trued up by November 30, 2004!

EPA Publishes 2003 SO2
Emissions Progress Report


EPA has completed its reconciliation
process, and has announced that
2003 annual SO2 emissions were
10.6 million tons. With an annual
allocation of approx. 9.5 million tons, the burn of the SO2 allowance bank
continues the trend starting in 2000
  of consuming approximately 1 million
tons per year. EPA notes a 4%
increase of SO2 emissions vs. 2002
annual emissions, citing increased
coal-fired and oil-fired unit operation
in response to natural gas price
increases. The report can be reviewed here.
