prices generally equal to or less than emission
allowance prices, for that year, up to a maximum of 0.5 billion

Because of a surplus of
allowances obtained via auction during the initial years of RGGI, the value of these
allowances remained close to the program's
price floor of $ 1.93 /
ton of CO2 allowed in each quarterly auction.
Fortunately, RGGI's design built in a «
price floor,» a minimum
price for each «
allowance» (or pollution permit), which made the system function like a very low carbon tax of $ 2 per
ton of CO2 until 2013.
That translates into a weighted average
allowance price of $ 48 per
ton, nearly nine times the assumed
price.

First, it is likely that CCS will be economically practical only for new plants, and only when CO2
allowance prices exceed $ 100 per
ton of CO2 for early adopters (cost estimates have increased over the past few years, as technological and institutional challenges have become clearer).
