Existing cap-and-trade programs provide important lessons about the need for robust design features. A brief review of real-world experience will illustrate two of these lessons. First, a cap must be tight enough to achieve significant cuts in emissions. This is similar to the cap and trade program enacted by the Clean Air Act of 1990, which reduced the sulfur emissions that cause acid rain, and it met the goals at a much lower cost than industry Carbon emissions trading really took off when the European Union instituted a cap and trade program in 2005. This set a cap on the total the amount of CO2 that heavy industries and utilities could emit.

Trading can lead to cuts in pollution sooner. Companies that cut their pollution faster can sell allowances to companies that pollute more, or "bank" them for future use.
