Model New Source Performance Standards for Fossil Generators
MCLI Recommendation: “EPA could modify the NSPS for new coal-fired units by requiring full CO2 capture (i.e., 90%) beginning in the early 2020s.”
LPDD Recommendation: “EPA could strengthen the NSPS for new NGCCs to require at least partial CO2 capture beginning in the mid-2020s.”
LPDD Recommendation: “EPA should in the near term tighten the NSPS under the CAA for new coal-fired and NGCC units to levels only achievable with CCS or partial CCS.”
LPDD Recommendation: “EPA should revise its climate pollution BACT guidance to reflect NSPS requirements for partial CCS on coal-fired generators.”
LPDD Recommendation: “If EPA does not tighten NSPS in the near term, EPA should adopt regulations that encourage CCS retrofits in addition to CCS deployment at new builds.”

Existing NSPS for New Coal Generation
In 2015, New Source Performance Standards were promulgated for new coal-fired plants at 80 Fed. Reg. 64510. These established partial CCS as the Best System of Emissions Reduction. In 2018, EPA propos...
Model NSPS for New Natural Gas Generation
LPDD suggests that, in the near term, NSPS for new combined cycle natural gas plants require at least partial carbon capture, modifying 40 CFR pt. 60 subpt. TTTT tbl. 2 to reflect a 551 lb CO2/MWh gro...
Model NSPS for New Coal Generation
The LPDD report proposes that NSPS standards for coal can be enhanced beyond the 2015 level. LPDD suggests that NSPS for new coal-fired units require full carbon dioxide capture (i.e., 90%), modifying...
