EPA has special industry targeted emission limits on Mercury, PM10 particulate (and they are adding PM2.5 now), NOx, SOx, VOCs, and now CO2 on coal fired power plants. Some states have tighter limits than the EPA limits.

Most programs set up permit limits on emissions, and trading platforms for firms to trade or sell excess reduced emissions to those needing a permit for new emissions. Cap and Trade is where the government sets a net limit on total emissions, and new emission sources must buy old, shut down emissions (trade)....but each time old emissions are traded oor sold they must permanently bank a small % of the old emissions so say you shut down a 100 ton CO2 source, and register it for trade or sale. When it is sold, you can sell only say 95% and 5% is permanently cancelled. Republicans (GWB) sold the Idea as Governor of Texas in the 1990s, and later at the EPA as president for the SOx reduction program and it worked it great.
