Southern Methodist University Identifying State of the Art NOx and PM Control Technologies for Electricity Generating Units in Texas Impacting Urban Areas $86,861.00 $0.00 The objectives of this study are to identify the current state‐of‐the‐art control technology for NOx and PM emissions from EGUs, for the 2009 – 2010 time period. Controls will be identified which meet the federal requirements for reasonably available control technology and best available control technology. The public policy goal is to empower stakeholders with information that allows them to advocate for and get emission reductions of NOx and PM from existing and new EGUs in Texas, above and beyond what would have been required by state regulators. This will allow for the state to continue to have a reliable and robust electricity generating capacity, while also ensuring that cities already in nonattainment with ozone or particulate are impacted by EGU emissions at the lowest achievable level.
