We are pleased to publish this first Annual Performance Review Report about the Emissions Reduction Market System (ERMS) in Illinois. The ERMS is an innovative, market-based approach for reducing emissions of volatile organic materials that contribute to ozone nonattainment.

This report is designed to give the reader the pertinent information about market system performance for 2000, the first year of operation. Furthermore, an analytical framework is provided that serves as a platform for future evaluation of key trends and patterns that may be important for us to monitor. Finally, this report documents the progress that results from implementation of this new market system.

Development of the ERMS was truly a participatory process, as was this first performance report. We want to express our appreciation for the many contributions made by the industrial and environmental interests that participated in the dialogue about this report. The final product was improved due to this open, collaborative process.
