Book EPA s Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule

Download or read book EPA s Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule written by Mary Ellen Ternes and published by LexisNexis/Matthew Bender. This book was released on 2009 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 1, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "EPA" will, for the first time, require large emitters of heat-trapping emissions to begin collecting greenhouse gas (GHG) data under a new reporting system. Monitoring requirements will begin immediately, with initial reports due on March 31, 2011. Most of the more than 10,000 affected facilities have not previously gathered GHG emissions data, and some have never reported under the Clean Air Act to EPA at all.To help you and your clients make sense of all the requirements, LexisNexis has published a new pamphlet, entitled EPA's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, which provides a comprehensive overview of what you'll need to know to start complying with the rule. Among the topics discussed are: Who is covered; How this rule differs from general Clean Air Act requirements including "potential-to-emit," definition of "facility" and scope of emission calculations; Status of State involvement; Comparison to State and Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiatives; Monitoring, reporting and verification requirements for the first report due March 31, 2011; Record retention requirements; Circumstances under which reporting can cease. Also learn practice tips on Implementation Issues, including: Applicability determinations for "all-in" source categories and threshold source categories; Drafting Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Plans; Understanding and complying with the Combustion Subpart (Subpart C) Submitting requests for use of Best Available Monitoring Methods past March 31, 2010; Use of Designated Representatives for reporting: Identification of Designated Representatives; agreements with Designated Representatives; certifications by Designated Representatives; additional delegations of authority. EPA's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule is the first in a forthcoming series of LexisNexis Global Climate Change Special Pamphlets that collectively address the law of global climate change. The series, written by members of the American College of Environmental Lawyers (ACOEL) and other experts, provides complete and up-to-date legal analysis of federal and state climate change statutory and case law, economic analysis of emerging carbon markets, practice pointers, and when appropriate, checklists and forms. Several new titles are due out in January 2010, including The SEC and Climate: Disclosure Requirements, Cap and Trade: Law and Economics, and Carbon Capture and Sequestration.

Book Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program   Addition of Global Warming Potentials to the General Provisions and Amendments and Confidentiality Determinations  Us Environmental Protection Agency Regulation   Epa   2018 Edition

This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program - Addition of Global Warming Potentials to the General Provisions and Amendments and Confidentiality Determinations (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program - Addition of Global Warming Potentials to the General Provisions and Amendments and Confidentiality Determinations (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is adding chemical-specific and default global warming potentials (GWPs) for a number of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHGs) and fluorinated heat transfer fluids (F-HTFs) to the general provisions of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. Currently, these fluorinated GHGs and HTFs are not assigned GWPs under the rule. The changes will increase the completeness and accuracy of the carbon dioxide (CO 2)-equivalent emissions calculated and reported by suppliers and emitters of fluorinated GHGs and HTFs. The EPA is also making conforming changes to the provisions for the Electronics Manufacturing and Fluorinated Gas Production source categories. In addition, the EPA is amending certain provisions of the Fluorinated Gas Production source category to reduce the level of detail in which emissions are reported, eliminate the mass-balance emission calculation method, and clarify the emission factor method. These amendments also include an alternative verification approach for this source category in lieu of collecting certain data elements for which the EPA has identified disclosure concerns and for which the reporting deadline was deferred until March 31, 2015. In addition, this action establishes confidentiality determinations for certain reporting requirements of the Fluorinated Gas Production source category.

Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this action, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing final emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs). Specifically, the EPA is establishing: Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission performance rates representing the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for two subcategories of existing fossil fuel-fired EGUs-fossil fuel-fired electric utility steam generating units and stationary combustion turbines; state-specific CO 2 goals reflecting the CO 2 emission performance rates; and guidelines for the development, submittal and implementation of state plans that establish emission standards or other measures to implement the CO 2 emission performance rates, which may be accomplished by meeting the state goals. This final rule will continue progress already underway in the U.S. to reduce CO 2 emissions from the utility power sector.

Book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium  and Heavy Duty Vehicles

Download or read book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.
