The cap is enforced by requiring each source that operates under the cap to turn in one allowance or offset credit for every metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO 2 e) that it emits. Over time, the cap will steadily decline. Because the allowances are tradable, individual emitters do not have specific emission limits.
