Overall Goals of each Workgroup:

• Identify strategies to achieve emission reductions
• Prioritize reasonable and effective control measures
• Identify implementation issues and potential solutions
• Identify additional sources of data to enhance the state’s database of air pollutants

Mission Statement:

To recommend potential ways to control and/or reduce emissions from facilities identified as stationary sources of combustion, including both Electric Generating Units (EGUs) and non-EGUs. The focus will be on NO_x, SO₂, VOC and particulate emissions.

Workgroup Materials and Results

• Data

  • Bio-Diesel Fuels
    
    
  • Article: "Can Negawatts Compete with Megawatts?"
    Article Summary: The question of whether negawatts - energy conservation - could and should compete with megawatts (MW) of generating capacity was debated in the early 1990s with the overall result that subsidies required for negawatt (NW) programs did not produce sufficient benefits to justify the cost.
