Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and You 1

The Regulated GHGs CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide) CH 4 (Methane) N 2 O (Nitrous Oxide) SF 6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons) PFCs (Perfluorocarbons) 2

Combustion Calculation CO 2 e (tons/yr) = CO 2 Potential Emission ton/yr x CO 2 GWP (1) + CH 4 Potential Emission ton/yr x CH 4 GWP (21) + N 2 O Potential Emission ton/yr x N 2 O GWP (310) 3

Any CO 2 e Calculation CO 2 e (tons/yr) = X i Potential Emission ton/yr x X i GWP 4

Abridged Table A-1 to Subpart A of 40 CFR 98 as of January 23,

Other GHG sources CO 2 – all animals, fermentation, many processes, ? Methane – Landfills, Cows, many processes, ? N 2 O – Nitric Acid, Dentist, NFS ©, sewage, ? Fluorinated Compounds– Refrigeration, Al, Mg, Energy, ? 8

Limiting GHGs (as CO 2 e) Thresholds – Major PSD/TV -100,000 ton/yr – Significant level – 75,000 ton/yr Very limited guidance from U.S. EPA Use applied knowledge We want complete limits 9

Biogenic Deferral (CO2 only) Goes till July 20, 2014 “mass of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide shall not include carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the combustion or decomposition of nonfossilized and biodegradable organic material originating from plants, animals, or micro-organisms (including products, by-products, residues and waste from agriculture, forestry and related industries as well as the nonfossilized and biodegradable organic fractions of industrial and municipal wastes, including gases and liquids recovered from the decomposition of non-fossilized and biodegradable organic material).” 10

Step Down 40 CFR 70.12(b) “The Administrator shall solicit comment, under section 307(b) of the Act, on promulgating lower GHGs thresholds for applicability under § Such action shall be finalized by July 1, 2012 and become effective July 1, 2013.” “No later than April 30, 2015 the Administrator shall complete a study projecting the administrative burdens that remain with respect to stationary sources for which GHGs do not constitute a pollutant subject to regulation.” 11
