Projected Impacts of Alternative New Source Performance Standards for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Fossil Fuel-Fired Boilers

摘要

The report presents projected national environmental cost and energy impacts of alternative sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter (PM) air emission standards for new small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units (small boilers) firing coal, oil, and natural gas. The analysis examines projected impacts in the fifth year following proposal of the standards. The report was prepared during development of proposed new source performance standards (NSPS) for small boilers.
