How do power plants comply with BSER standards?

ic considerations. For each standard, the final rule sets an emission rate based on EPA’s determined BSER. As discussed more in the Grid Reliability and Compliance Extension Mechanisms section below, power plants can comply with the standard either through deploying the technology or fuel which EPA determined as the basis for BSER or, alterna

Did EPA lack authority to establish standards based on generation shifting?

inia v. EPA on the basis that EPA lacked the authority to establish standards based on generation shifting.6 In this piece, we review the legal basis for the final rule, summarize the final standards focusing on the standards for existing coal-fired power plants and new natural gas-fired power plants, their compliance pathways

Do EPA Power Plant rules provide timely information?

We report below a multimodel analysis of the EPA power plant rules that can provide timely information, including for other countries and states, on emissions impacts, policy design for electricity decarbonization, power sector investments and retirements, cost impacts, and load growth.

What are containerized generator / packaged container and enclosure options?

Containerized generator / Packaged container and enclosure options provide alternatives to installations in existing or new buildings. We have significant experience with pre-packaged container and enclosure solutions for engine-generator sets, balance of plant equipment, and switchgear.

How often does EPA review emission standards?

erformance standards every eight years, and EPA can review emission guidelines for existing sources as well.14EPA explains that “BSER’s key features include that it must reduce emissions, be based on ‘adequately demonstrated’ technology, and have a reasonable cost of contr l.”15 Based on t ese factors, EPA defines

What are the emission rate limits?

The emission rate limits are based on the “best system of emission reduction” (BSER), which is CCS with 90% capture for existing coal-fired plants operating past 2038 and 90% CCS for new gasfired plants in 2032 if operating with >40% utilization (or generating at least 40% of their annual maximum capacity) [see supplementary materials (SM)].
