Cap & Trade Newsletter Publications

C&T Current Publications

Stillwater’s California Cap and Trade (C&T) Newsletter provides insight into the allowance and offset demand and price trends.

Each quarterly edition offers an auction summary tracking California Carbon Allowances (CCA) and California Carbon Offsets (CCO) transfer trends. Stillwater’s C&T Newsletter also reports on trends concerning Cap at the Rack (CAR) – the C&T assessment of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the use of fossil transportation fuels. CAR is additive to the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) assessments which we track in Stillwater’s LCFS Newsletter.

This quarterly newsletter also includes our expert analysis of the C&T Program.
