Summary
Pollution prevention and energy conservation with system efficiency are key elements in arriving at cost-effective long-term solutions that address sustainability to implement national “clean energy” and energy security initiatives. Low air pollution, greenhouse gases, and water impacts are all important to local and regional areas and can be dealt with by some degree of regulatory oversight, with trade-offs appropriately evaluated. International emission standards and regulatory policies for gas turbines described here have developed over the past decade to address some of these challenges.
Gas turbine cogeneration and district energy plants with efficient cycles and reliable dry low NOx combustion can provide important environmental improvements to cleaner energy production. Until recently, GHG emissions and system energy efficiency have not been closely studied in most permitting processes. Pollution prevention planning and environmental assessments may require a more comprehensive strategy, with balanced economic and environmental implementation to allow consideration of a wide range of renewable and cleaner energy choices, including various gas-turbine-based applications.
