为使污染物总量控制工作逐步走向深入并真正收到实效,对“排污许可证制度“中有关核定单位的污染物排放量、排污行为的有效约束,企业排污权的转移与交易、区域污染物排放状况的调控,以及如何确立该制度在污染物总量控制工作中的作用进行了探讨.     

山西省排污权交易体系改进设计

本文在山西省排污权交易工作现有交易机制、政策设计与实践成果的基础上,分析现有排污权交易实施过程中存在的主要问题,并结合"十三五"时期国家对排污权交易工作的总体要求,提出山西省排污交易体系的改进设计建议。通过改进排污权初始分配方式和排污权交易模式,制定活跃排污权交易市场的相关政策,强化市场与政府的对接,探索山西省地方立法,扩展山西省排污权交易管理平台等,逐步完善交易制度建设、监管体系建设、信息统计体系建设,深化排污权交易支持下的山西省总量减排及环境监管能力建设,构建管理规范、交易顺畅的排污指标交易市场,支持排污权交易工作在山西省的全面推广与实施。     

湖北省实施排污权交易的障碍及对策分析

湖北省排污权市场的交易频率与交易规模都亟待提高。本文选择全国首家排污权交易中心—嘉兴市排污权储备交易中心作为比较对象,分别从排污权的初始分配、交易制度设计和激励机制等三个方面对两地的具体做法进行了详细的分析比较,最后得出:湖北省在实施排污交易的过程中,初始排污权的分配难以体现公平与效率;集中竞价的交易方式并非当前的最优选择;重平台、忽激励的交易制度设计埋下了市场交易冷清的隐患。最后,提出了相应的改进建议。     

我国排污权交易政策及完善对策研究

排污权交易在环境管理领域里正受到越来越多的关注。回顾了我国近年来的排污权交易政策,并对排污权交易试点实施效果进行了阐述,同时结合目前排污权交易在我国应用和研究现状,对排污权交易制度在实践过程中仍存在法律政策落后、初始分配公平与效率缺乏保障、市场体制欠缺以及监测监督力度不够等主要问题进行分析,并从排污立法、市场培育、政府监管3个方面提出政策建议。     

论排污权的法律属性

论文针对排污权交易试点工作中对排污权法律属性认知模糊、进而阻碍了这一环境经济政策进一步深化的问题,从民事权利谱系和排污权交易制度设计的价值追求两个方面剖析了排污权的法律属性。主要结论:排污权不等于环境容量使用权;排污权是基于行政许可的有限授权,这种许可不构成一种产权;排污指标是行政许可的随附义务,是对排污权的限制,而不是权利本身。     

排污权交易为何难以推进

<正>排污权交易起源于美国。美国经济学家戴尔斯于1968年最先提出了排污权交易的理论,并首先被美国联邦环保局用于大气污染源及河流污染源管理。美国联邦环保局为解决通过新建企业发展经济与环保之间的矛盾,在实现《清洁空气法》所规定的空气质量目标时提出了排污权交易的设想,并从1977年开始先后制定了一系列政策法规,允许不同工厂之间转让和交换排污削减量,为企业针对如何进行费用最小的污染削减提     

水泥行业协同控制政策之国际经验

通过制定相应的政策实现水泥行业污染物排放与CO2排放协同控制,是国际社会水泥行业实现协同控制的另一种重要手段。对于大部分污染控制政策而言,这些政策不仅在解决某种或某些大气污染物方面取得了很好的成效,与此同时,也具有协同控制二氧化碳排放的效果,这类政策主要有排污许可证措施、最佳可行技术措施、清洁生产、淘汰落后产能措施、激励政策、排污权交易等。     

达标才有“排污权”

《成都商报》报道，成都出台《成都市排污权交易管理规定》，相关实施细则正在做最后完善，排污权交易呼之欲出。成都市环保局有关负责人表示，排污权不是违法排污的权力，而是要满足达标排放、符合总量控制要求、依法取得等基本前提。     

排污权初始配置的相关问题及其完善

排污权的初始配置是排污权交易的重要组成部分,但目前我国排污初始配置中存在着理论依据缺乏、法律制度缺位、分配机制不规范等诸多问题。实践中可通过确定排污权的性质,寻找排污权正当性依据;建立健全排污权分配的相关法律制度;多标准确定排污权人;建立以有偿分配为主、无偿分配为辅,多种分配方式相结合,因地制宜的排污权分配方式来解决排污权初始分配的相关问题。     

浅析实施经济政策减排二氧化硫的瓶颈问题和解决途径

我国在环保政策上一直采用排污收费等经济政策手段,并开始尝试排污权交易制度。但现实国情的困难造成了环境经济政策在控制和减少二氧化硫排放上未起到应有的作用。排污收费标准偏低,排污权交易缺乏法律、政策配套,两种经济政策手段均没能很好地激励火电行业和全社会的力量来治理二氧化硫排放,也未能促成有效的治理资金投入机制。必须通过立法、行政政策手段扫除实施经济政策治污的障碍和瓶颈问题,调整国家电力不合理的供应结构,从而为消除环境污染问题打好基础,为环境可持续发展创造条件。     

太湖流域水污染权交易制度比较分析——基于环湖六市的调研

太湖流域作为全国经济发达的地区之一,水环境污染成为制约太湖流域可持续发展的重要因素。同时作为水污染权交易制度实施最早的流域,该制度在太湖流域理论与实践层面探索经验的总结对排污许可制度的应用和排污权交易的推广有着重要的理论意义和紧迫的现实意义。本文通过对嘉兴、湖州、苏州、无锡、常州及上海地方经验的调研,从制度设计、产权界定、信息披露、制度效率等方面进行比较分析,发现市场主导型的水污染权交易模式可以显著提高政策绩效,而交易市场的规模是交易制度推广实施的关键,最后,提出建立太湖流域统一水污染权交易市场等的政策建议。     

A project-based system for including farmers in the EU ETS

Farmers in the EU do not trade greenhouse gases under the Kyoto agreement. This is an empirical puzzle because agriculture is a significant contributor of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the EU and may harvest private net gains from trade. Furthermore, the US has strongly advocated land-use practices as 'the missing link' in past climate negotiations. We argue that farmers have relatively low marginal reduction costs and that consequences in terms of the effect on permit price and technology are overall positive in the EU Emission Trading System (ETS). Thus, we propose a project-based system for including the farming practices in the EU ETS that reduces the uncertainty from measuring emission reduction in this sector. The system encourages GHG reduction either by introducing a new and less polluting practice or by reducing the polluting activity. When doing so, farmers will receive GHG permits corresponding to the amount of reduction which can be stored for later use or sold in the EU ETS.

Exploring Nontraditional Participation as an Approach to Make Water Quality Trading Markets More Effective

Water quality trading (WQT) has the potential to be a low‐cost means for achieving water quality goals. WQT allows regulated wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) facing discharge limits the flexibility to either reduce their own discharge or purchase pollution control from other WWTPs or nonpoint sources (NPSs) such as agricultural producers. Under this limited scope, programs with NPSs have been largely unsuccessful at meeting water quality goals. The decision to participate in trading depends on many factors including the pollution control costs, uncertainty in pollution control, and discharge limits. Current research that focuses on making WQT work tends to identify how to increase participation by traditional traders such as WWTPs and agricultural producers. As an alternative, but complementary approach, we consider whether augmenting WQT markets with nontraditional participants would help increase the number of trades. Determining the economic incentives for these potential participants requires the development of novel benefit functions requiring not only economic considerations but also accounting for ecological and engineering processes. Existing literature on nontraditional participants in environmental markets tends to center on air quality and only increasing citizen participation as buyers. Here, we consider the issues for broadening participation (both buyers and sellers) in WQT and outline a multidisciplinary approach to begin evaluating feasibility.     

Economic and Ecological Rules for Water Quality Trading1

Horan, Richard D. and James S. Shortle, 2011. Economic and Ecological Rules for Water Quality Trading. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 47(1):59‐69. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2010.00463.x Abstract: Emissions trading in textbook form uses markets to achieve pollution targets cost‐efficiently. This result is accomplished in markets that regulators can implement without knowing pollution abatement costs. The theoretical promise of emissions trading, along with real‐world success stories from air emissions trading, has led to initiatives to use trading for water pollution control. Yet, trading, particularly when it involves nonpoint sources of pollution, requires significant departures from the textbook concept. This paper explores how features of water quality problems affect the design of markets for water pollution control relative to textbook emissions markets. Three fundamental design tasks that regulators must address for pollution trading to achieve an environmental goal at low cost are examined: (1) defining the point and nonpoint commodities to be traded, (2) defining rules governing commodity exchange, and (3) setting caps on the commodity supplies so as to achieve an environmental target. We show that the way in which these tasks are optimally addressed for water quality markets differs significantly from the textbook model and its real‐world analogs. We also show that the fundamental appeal of emissions trading is lost in the case of realistic water quality markets, as market designs that reduce the costs of achieving water quality goals may no longer be implementable without the regulatory authority having information on abatement costs.

超低排放背景下煤电机组氨管控存在的问题及对策探析

近年来,我国大气污染防治成效显著,煤电机组超低排放政策实施对此做出了突出贡献。氮氧化物是煤电机组超低排放中的重要控制指标之一。然而,受现有氮氧化物排放监测和喷氨控制技术的精度、反馈时效等因素的限制,为提高脱硝效率保证性,电厂在实际运行中存在过量喷氨现象,未完全反应的氨进入大气后可能造成二次颗粒物增加。针对这一现象,本文回顾了我国火电行业氮氧化物排放标准和治理措施的演化及实施效果,对煤电机组氨排放现状和存在的问题进行了深入分析,提出在推进氮氧化物超低排放过程中应开展脱硝过量喷氨现状调研,鼓励企业开展脱硝系统优化,加强复杂烟气环境下氨监测技术研发,完善脱硝氨逃逸日常环境监管,推动氨排放全生命周期转化规律基础研究和大气环境效应评估,进一步提升煤电机组超低排放政策实施的综合环境效益,也对其他行业超低排放政策推进起到示范作用。     

Optimal Pollution Trading Without Pollution Reductions: A Note1

García, Jorge H., Matthew T. Heberling, and Hale W. Thurston, 2011. Optimal Pollution Trading Without Pollution Reductions: A Note. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 47(1):52‐58. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2010.00476.x Abstract: Various kinds of water pollution occur in pulses (e.g., agricultural and urban runoff). Ecosystems, such as wetlands, can serve to regulate these pulses and smooth pollution distributions over time. This smoothing reduces total environmental damages when “instantaneous” damages are marginally increasing. This paper introduces a water quality trading model between a farm (a pulse‐pollution source) and a firm (a more steady pollution source) where the object of exchange is the “temporary” retention of runoff as opposed to total runoff reductions. The optimal trading ratio requires firm emissions to be offset by more than a proportional retention of the initial agricultural runoff pulse. The reason is twofold: (1) emissions are steady or constant over time and, in this sense, have relatively larger environmental impact; and (2) certain kinds of runoff management cause delayed environmental damages.     

Implementation of the European IPPC Directive—BAT guidelines for the cement industry in Cyprus

The European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive 96/61/EC aims to introduce a European-wide system of integrated prevention and control of pollution in order to secure a high level of protection to the environment as a whole. It places obligations on the Member States (MS) to introduce controls that ensure operators comply with the Directive. In this framework, as a part of the implementation process leading to formal accession of Cyprus to the European Union, the National Technical University of Athens has examined all documents related to the Best Available Techniques (BATs) published by Institutes and Organisations, such as the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies in Spain, the Environmental Protection Agency in Ireland, the World Bank Group and the Ministry for the Environment, Planning and Public Works in Greece. A series of guidelines were developed for the application of BATs for 14 categories of the Cypriot industry that fall into the IPPC Directive. The concept of BATs plays a central role in the Directive because it provides a basis for setting Emission Limit Values (ELVs) as well as the principal benchmark for determining the obligations of industrial operators in respect of pollution prevention and control. This paper presents the guidelines for cement manufacture in Cyprus.
