U.S. EPA’s Proposed Power Plant Emission Rule Relies on Carbon Capture Technology

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on May 11 proposed new rules to limit carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants, with emission limits phasing in over the next decade. The proposed standards rely on carbon capture and sequestration, low-emission hydrogen co-firing, and natural gas co-firing technologies to achieve emissions reductions. Starting in 2030, the…...
