영문 초록

The emissions trading was first introduced in the United States and has been actively applied to the pollution control programs during the last two decades. The major benefit of the emissions trading program relative to other traditional regulation method is known to save the cost for the pollution control. This paper provides the theoretical backgrounds of th different types of the emissions trading program, and discusses the action programs which apply the emission trading to the various situations. The concepts and U.S. experiences of the action programs such as the emission reduction credits, offsets, bubble, netting, and banking are discussed in the paper. This paper also analyzed the effect of the emissions trading. The tradeable permit program can be adopted as a core part of our strategy for protecting the environmental deterioration in Korea. It is the program that can reduce the operation cost remarkably, and that can maximize the pollution control not by the direct government regulation but by the market mechanism. There are four specific areas where the emissions trading program can be effectively exercised in Korea : first, the regional trading program for regulating Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, and particulates emitted from the factory region, second, the trading permits for regulating air pollution by the automobile and oil refinery industries, third, BOD trading for reducing water contamination of the major rivers, fourth, introducing an auction or property trading system for transacting wastes. Three possible problems can be expected if the emissions trading is introduced in Korea. First, as firms producing in the severely polluted areas will seek to the new location, the levels of pollution in the less contaminated areas can be deteriorated. Second, although the firms do not cheat their costs and levels of emission, they intentionally tend to increase the level of emission to acquire the initial emission permits as much as possible. Third problem is related to the emission permits provided by the government and its effective date. When the auction is used as a distribution tool of permits, firms that fail to obtain the permits from the auction cannot help ceasing the production. Also, large firms can monopolize the permits so that they trigger the market failure in the environmental bads market.
