Betts, M

The Council of Industrial Boiler Owners (CIBO) claims that new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations requiring costly pollution-control equipment on coal- and waste-fueled boilers conflict with national fuel-substitution goals. EPA counters that capital and annual costs will each increase only 2%, but CIBO considers that a financial barrier during the current recession. Fuel choices determined on the basis of environmental regulations could delay conversion to more-efficient boilers and alternative fuels. CIBO concerns focus on the New Source performance Standards applying to emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed industrial boilers larger than 100 million Btus per hour. (DCK)
