EPA Advisers Detail Process To Promote Efficiency In Facility GHG Permits

摘要

A key EPA advisory workgroup has unveiled a highly anticipated draft report that aims to resolve major questions about how to conduct technology assessments for first-time greenhouse gas (GHG) permits, offering details for conducting the five-point permitting process to encourage efficiency as a way to meet the technology requirements.rnThe report unveiled Oct. 5 also outlines changes that EPA could make to encourage use of a waiver process that gives facilities more time to meet permit limits if they test new GHG control technologies. A climate change workgroup of EPA's Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) crafted the report. The workgroup agreed at an Oct. 5 meeting in Arlington, VA, to advance the report to the full CAAAC meeting Oct. 6.
