Ontario ratchets coal plant emissions cap down to 11.5 Mt beginning in 2011
Ontario ratchets coal plant emissions cap down to 11.5 Mt beginning in 2011 – Davis LLP.
How about focusing equally as much on ratcheting down pollutants that affect local air and water quality? The headline says “emissions” but the details seem to show a concern for only CO2…
In that capacity, the government issued a shareholder directive to OPG on May 20 limiting the CO2 emissions from OPG’s four coal-fired generating stations to 11.5 Mt per year. A previous directive in April 2008 set the limit for 2009 at 19.6 Mt and for this year at 15.6 Mt. The new limit established by the May 20th directive is therefore 41% lower than the 2009 limit and 26% lower than this year’s limit.
