Interested in annual emissions and emissions rates at power plants? The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) has been updated with 2019 data.
Data about the electric power generated in the United States. The data includes air emissions for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide; emissions rates; net generation; resource mix; and and many other attributes.
While 2013-2019 had some of the hottest years on record, that period also held six of the seven LOWEST ozone concentrations! Find out why by reading about recent air quality and ecosystem improvements.
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA implements several regulations that affect power plants, including the Acid Rain Program (ARP), the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and the CSAPR Update, and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). These programs require fossil fuel-fired electric generating....
