Chicago, IL – The only national carbon cap-and-trade exchange in the United
States is shutting down because of Congressional inaction on limiting
emissions, company officials say.
The Chicago Climate
Exchange is a voluntary but legally binding greenhouse gas emissions allowance
trading system modeled after a federal cap-and-trade program from the 1980s
that successfully curbed emissions tied to acid rain.
