6 was enacted, the plants have emitted more than 29 million tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide, 28,000 tons of nitrogenoxides (NOx), and 16,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SOx). The OVEC coal bailouts, which the PUCO approved in 2014, were set to expire in 2024 and only applied to utility customers who had a stake in OVEC.
Data on the major carbon producers’ emissions have been published since 2014. A few critical points puncture the industry’s empty rhetoric: When hydrogen is burned, it can emit as many nitrogenoxides as natural gas combustion —if not more —which can cause significant respiratory health problems.
Primarily, these have focused on the 2007 EPA regulations, which were the first step in the phase-in of diesel engine standards meant to cut particulate emissions by more than 80 percent and smog-forming nitrogenoxides (NO X ) emissions by 90 percent. <mic drop> So, is industry just full of it?
Examples are benzene, hydrofluoric acid, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogenoxides, and many, many other toxic pollutants. Many pollutants cause cancer, pulmonary and heart diseases, neurological, reproductive, developmental, and immunological damage, and more. Refining uses many risky industrial processes.
However, leaks which allow gasses to escape can mitigate reductions or result in overall increases in emissions relative to alternate storage methods, and generating energy via anaerobic digesters can emit pollutants like nitrogenoxide and carbon monoxide, among others. 2014 , Moeletsi and Tongwane, 2015 , Kritee et al.,
Beaver County Marcellus Awareness Community sent a letter to DEP on March 21, 2014 requesting that once they receive Shell’s application it should be posted on DEP’s website so that the community has ample time for review. BCMAC will also ask that a public hearing be held to allow sufficient time for public comment. 12,671,044.75
“The reality is that we needed this legislation on the books and actively enforced 15 years ago.” -- Gillian Graber , a Westmoreland County resident and Executive Director of nonprofit citizens group Protect PT , said, “In November 2014, we found out that there would be a fracking well pad located over the hill from our home.
Flaring, demonstrated in the photo on the right, is the uncontrolled burning of excess or unwanted petroleum pools such as, excuse me, flaring can be a significant source of air pollution such as nitrogenoxides and greenhouse gas emissions. It is also an additional source of noise and light pollution.
Unlike other major air pollutants, ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the air but is created by chemical reactions between nitrogenoxides and volatile organic compounds, meaning that ozone pollution is tied to sources that emit these precursor chemicals, such as heavy duty vehicles.
