This is based on a 2011 analysis and ignores a more recent 2021 study prepared for CARB that looks at the NOx and PM from biodiesel emissions in legacy and new technology diesel engines. The key finding is that air quality benefits from older engines are not observed in new technology diesel engines, which are now required in California.

EPA’s latest proposed rule targeting NOx emissions from fossil-fueled electric generating units (EGUs) is a classic study of diminishing returns. EPA also should select the “less stringent” alternative to the rule, providing additional time for control technology retrofits. Posted on June 29, 2022 by Eugene M.

As we now know, fossil fuel companies lied about it for decades to protect their profits. Now that there is a desperate need to slash global warming emissions worldwide to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, it is critical to rapidly phase out the use of all fossil fuels. What accounts for that?

Treasury’s goal is to prevent electrolyzers from displacing clean electricity that might otherwise feed the grid, which some fear would necessitate more fossil fuel electricity production (based on the current fuel sources used for grid electricity). Others have argued that this fear is overblown.
