ABSTRACT:
Computer-based methods for promoting sulfur dioxide futures contracts trading are described. The methods include creating a sulfur financial instrument for use by approved parties to trade sulfur emissions allowances and selling the sulfur financial instrument to an approved buyer who desires to acquire the amounts of the sulfur dioxide emissions allowances. The sulfur financial instrument represents allocated amounts of sulfur emissions allowances that include a future year sulfur dioxide allowance vintage.
