About the Climate Pollution Reduction Program
The Climate Pollution Reduction Program's (CPRP's) mission is to implement policies and programs to reduce carbon emissions in the state of Washington so that the state meets its statutory greenhouse gas emission limits. The CPRP focuses long-term, requiring creative and strategic decision-making for implementation to achieve broad statewide and interstate success reducing carbon emissions in the state of Washington so residents have a healthy environment and climate.
The Cap-and-Invest Group (CIG) is responsible for the implementation and operation of Washington’s Cap-and-Invest Program, which employs a market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Cap-and-Invest Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain and retire compliance instruments equivalent to their emissions. These compliance instruments, which include emissions allowances, offset credits, can be bought, sold, and traded. The market for these commodities began in January 2023, the first allowance auction was held in February of that year, and the proceeds of the auctions are invested by the state in projects to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The allowance auctions that the Auctions and Market Section are responsible for generate on average approximately $1 billion dollars per year and provide a critical and necessary funding stream to support the achievement of Washington’s ambitious state-wide greenhouse gas reduction mandates.
