Calculating 2017 NO X Emissions

March 25, 2015

To calculate the 2017 Base Case emissions and produce a flat file for air quality modeling, EPA started with the 2018 Base Ca se results and

made modifications to emissions of units in three categorie s.

1) SCR Operation/Installation: For units that had an SCR in 2018 but were assumed to not operate (or be installed) in 2017 , EPA

recalculated the NO X emissions for the unit with the 2018 heat input and the 2016 emissions rate.

2) Retirements: For units projected to retire in 2018, emissions from the 2016 run year were included in the 2017 emissions.

3) Coal

- To

- Gas: For units that had implemented coal

- to

- gas retrofit options in 2018 and had not dispatched, emissions from the

2016 run year were incorporated. However, if the coal

- to

- gas retrofit options had dispatched in 2018, then the NO X emissions

were calculated based on the 2018 fuel use and 2016 NO X rate.

The table below lists the units that were affected by these changes and the number of tons added to the 2018 Base Case results to

calculate the 2017 Base Case NO X emissions.
