Cantor Environmental Brokerage Market News

August 26, 2002

2002 Ozone Season Comes to a Close Along with fall’s arrival this past weekend, the 2002 ozone season comes to a close on September 30, 2002. NOx Budget sources must now “true up”: make sure that compliance account balances have sufficient allowances to cover 2002 actual ozone season emissions. Sources must also provide their third quarter emissions data (“quarterly report”), and complete the 2002 compliance report by December 31, 2002. Please make note of the fact that next year’s (2003) compliance report will be due before the end of the year: Specifically, November 30, 2002.

Connecticut Sources Begin New Program Connecticut has decided that its sources must comply with the NOx Budget requirements on an annual basis. As a result, October1, 2002 will mark the beginning of the first nonozone season during which Connecticut Budget sources will begin counting their nonozone season NOx emissions for compliance purposes.

SO2 Set to Rise?? SO2 has remained range-bound this month, although a rumor ran through the market suggesting that prices will rise. Specifically, it is rumored that a previous seller of several hundred thousand tons of SO2 may have to buy back some tons. This question is to be resolved as a matter of law, and the parties remain uncertain of the outcome. We will endeavor to keep you updated regarding whether any such event(s) begin to take shape.

Cantor Daily Price Sheets Cantor Fitzgerald has this month undertaken to provide daily updates on all trades in the NOx and SO2 allowance markets. We have been providing these daily price sheets by email. If you would like to receive Daily sheets at no charge to you, please do not hesitate to ask.
