Federal PSD/Title V Stationary Source Permitting Exclusion of Nonroad Engines
The PSD and Title V programs derive their applicability based on the aggregate air emissions from on-site equipment at each facility. Many railyards operate small combustion equipment such as gasoline-powered welders, compressors, and generators. These units may qualify as nonroad engines. Air emissions from nonroad engines need not be included in a facility’s aggregate air emissions when ...

Size, structure and distribution of transport subsidies in Europe
Transport contributes to several environmental problems such as climate change, air emissions and noise and is at the same time favoured by significant subsidies. An EEA report identifies European transport subsidies worth at least EUR 270 to 290 billion a year. Road transport receives EUR 125 billion in annual subsidies, most of it as infrastructure subsidies, assuming that taxes on road ...

Testing VOC Evaporation Losses from Floating Roof Tank Turnovers
Air emissions from floating roof tanks have been well characterized and documented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The estimation methods have been revised and updated throughout the years. However, an unusual aspect of air emissions from tanks with a floating roof during a tank turnover has not been addressed. Petroleum storage tank floating roofs are landed on tank legs and ...

California explores a state-wide cap-and-trade system for air emissions
Stakeholders were given the opportunity to provide specific technical input concerning various elements of the program design that may become part of the Assembly Bill (AB) 32 Scoping Plan. AB 32 includes specific criteria that the Californian Air Resources Board (ARB) must consider before using market-based measures to implement AB 32, and ARB will evaluate a possible cap-and-trade system ...

Integrated presentation of environmental information the for economic the Czech Republic, 1992 to 1996/1997
The integrated presentation of economic and environmental information contributes to an evaluation of the past and current influences of economic and social activities of society on the environment. At the same time, it allows simulation of the future influence of alternative economic and political decisions on the environment. This paper attempts to formulate and develop a model for such a ...

Air Emissions/Off-Gas Treatment
A number of technologies have been widely applied for removal of VOCs from off-gas streams. However, the application of these technologies to off-gases from site remediation may be quite limited. Biofiltration has been widely applied for VOC destruction in Europe and Japan, but it has only recently been used in the United States. Catalytic and thermal oxidation are widely used for the destruction ...

Real-time air emissions monitoring
Due to increasingly rigorous requirements for regulatory and permit compliance, organizations are seeking more from all compliance support systems. The ability to expand systems to encompass new, or migrate existing, regulatory calculations used to monitor environmental performance is vital. Planning strategically for a scalable and sustainable system has been shown to reduce overall compliance ...

Compressed Air Pneumatics Demonstrated in Calgary
At the Petroleum show in Calgary, our Canadian distributor OilPro demonstrated CAP3. CAP3 (Compressed Air Pneumatics) replaces methane emission from pneumatic devices with compressed air. The annual U.S. emission reduction potential of CAP3 is about 40 million tons of CO2- equivalent (equivalent to taking 9.5 million cars off the road). Wholehearted thank you for everyone involved! ...

What is a NEM: AQA Section 30 Atmospheric Impact Report?
An Atmospheric Impact Report is undertaken to assess the impacts of an existing or proposed facility on the environment based on the air emissions associated with the facility’s operation. An Atmospheric Impact Report is undertaken at the request of an air quality officer in South Africa and must be compiled in accordance with Section 30 of the National Environmental Management Air Quality ...

Can slow steaming lower cost impacts of sulphur directive – shippers’ perspective
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) (2013, 2014) and the European Parliament (EP) (2005, 2012) have addressed the matter that harmful air emissions should be decreased in shipping transportation. The purpose of this empirical case study is to examine and anticipate in detail if slow steaming in freight shipping can bring any economically positive effects to shippers in the new fuel ...

Air emissions associated with decommissioning California's offshore oil and gas platforms
The 27 oil and gas platforms offshore southern California are nearing the end of their productive lives and will be decommissioned in the near future. Many are in deep water and are correspondingly large, with the largest, Harmony, in 1200 feet of water weighing approximately 43,000 tons. Nearly 30% of California's platforms are in water depths that exceed those of any previous decommissioning ...

Air quality and ancillary benefits of climate change policies
Action to combat climate change will deliver considerable ancillary benefits in air pollution abatement by 2030. The ancillary benefits will be: • lower overall costs of controlling air pollutant emissions in the order of EUR 10 billion per year; • reduced air pollutant emissions, leading to a fall in damage to public health (e.g. more than 20 000 fewer premature deaths/year) and ...
