EPA proposes new pollution standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants

Green Car Congress

MAY 12, 2023

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new CO 2 standards for coal and natural gas-fired power plants. Through 2042, EPA estimates the net climate and health benefits of the standards on new gas and existing coal-fired power plants are up to $85 billion.

EPA proposes rule for nationwide 30% cut in GHG from existing power plants by 2030 relative to 2005

Green Car Congress

JUNE 2, 2014

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the already widely-discussed (albeit without much detail) “Clean Power Plan” proposal, which mandates a national average 30% cut in greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants from 2005 levels by 2030. EPA is only proposing goals for states with fossil fuel-fired power plants.

Carbon dioxide is the most prevalent greenhouse gas pollutant, accounting for nearly three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions and 82% of US greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel-fired power plants are by far the largest source of US CO 2 emissions, making up 32% of US total greenhouse gas emissions.

Light duty vehicles contribute much of the air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in towns and cities across the UK. Currently, the market for a variety of LEVs, such as battery electric and plug-in hybrids, is in its early stages and requires national and local incentives to stimulate consumer demand and increase vehicle numbers.
