EPA Proposes Tighter Controls on NOx Emissions from Power Plants, Industrial Sources

Credit to Author: Sonal Patel| Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 18:57:32 +0000

A sweeping new proposed rule published in the Federal Register by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on April 6 establishes new nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions budgets that will require fossil fuel–fired power plants in 25 states to participate in an allowance-based ozone season trading program starting in 2023. The proposal, which builds on the agency’s […]
