EPA Proposed Rule: NOx Emissions from Gas Turbines

The EPA has published a proposed rule (Docket ID EPA-R06-OAR-2020-0164) to establish new or revised emissions standards for nitrogen oxides (NOx) from gas turbines. This action is part of the agency's ongoing efforts to regulate air pollutants and improve air quality. The proposal details specific emission limits and potentially new monitoring or reporting requirements for facilities operating gas turbines.

Regulated entities operating gas turbines, particularly in the energy sector, should review the proposed standards carefully. The EPA is seeking public comment on this proposal, and interested parties must submit their comments by the specified deadline. Failure to comply with final regulations could result in enforcement actions and penalties. Compliance officers should prepare to assess the impact of these proposed standards on their operations and develop strategies for meeting future requirements.
