Output-Based Emission Policy Energy Homepage | Briefings/Reports | Air Pollution Regulating emissions from power producers on an output-basis is a means to promote the most efficient production of electricity and/or thermal energy. An output-based method is being used or being discussed at the national and state levels in a variety policies including
Output-based emission regulations can be part of multi-pollutant programs, emission trading programs, DG rules and permitting, NOx Budget program, among others. Below are resources from the Institute and links to additional resources on output-based emission policy.
