CARBON DIOXIDE REGULATION UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT:
WHERE ARE WE NOW, AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?
February 11, 2011
12:00 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time
OVERVIEW
As the EPA forges ahead with regulation of carbon dioxide and its “greenhouse gas” (GHG) equivalents under the Clean Air Act (through the issuance of its BACT guidance and a focus on fossil-fuel-fired electricity generators), this webinar will explore the
nuances of how BACT permitting of GHG emissions is likely to be implemented. The BACT guidance has drawn commentary from a wide array of sources, and a great deal of uncertainty remains as to how permittees and state regulators are to apply
the guidance on a case-by-case basis. Our presenters will walk through a variety of considerations and potential scenarios and will provide their perspectives on the options and obstacles that the regulated community should consider in the months and years to come.

other GHG reduction incentive
