Maryland proposes emergency NOx reductions for coal-fired power plants

摘要

Maryland on Friday proposed emergency regulations to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from the state’s coal-fired plants during the coming summer, and also proposed permanent regulations that mirror the emergency action. “We are committed to putting into place immediate controls for cleaner air, and we’re also committed to finding the best path forward for longer-term controls,” Ben Grumbles, secretary of the Department of the Environment, said in a statement.
