'''Clean Air Markets Program''' (CAMP) is an Environmental Protection Agency initiative led by the Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) that reduces air pollution from power plants through emissions trading programs, achieving significant declines in sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) emissions—94% and 85% below historic levels by 2021—across the United States to protect public health and ecosystems. Encompassing efforts like the Acid Rain Program (ARP) since 1995 and the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) since 2015, it leverages cap-and-trade mechanisms, managing data for over 3,000 facilities via the Clean Air Markets Program Data (CAMPD) system, with ongoing adaptations like the Good Neighbor Plan in 2023 enhancing its impact as of 2025. | '''Clean Air Markets Program''' (CAMP) is an [[Environmental Protection Agency]] initiative led by the [[Clean Air Markets Division]] (CAMD) that reduces air pollution from power plants through emissions trading programs, achieving significant declines in sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) emissions—94% and 85% below historic levels by 2021—across the United States to protect public health and ecosystems. | ||
