Coordinated NOx Control Strategies: Phase II Title IV, Ozone Transport Region and Ozone Transport Assessment Group

摘要

Many electric utilities are faced with future nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduction requirements. In some instances, these utilities will be affected by multiple regulatory programs. For example, numerous fossil fired plants must comply with Phase II of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), state NOx rules as a result of the recommendations of the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) and future requirements of the Proposed Rule for Reducing Regional Transport of Ground-Level Ozone (Ozone Transport SIP Rulemaking). This paper provides an overview of NOx regulatory programs, NOx compliance planning concepts, and NOx control technology options that could be components of an optimized compliance strategy.
