| Critical Information | Maine's output-based regulation entitled "Emissions from Smaller-Scale Electric Generating Resources," limits emissions of NOx, SO2, PM and CO. The emissions standard applies to stationary generators with a capacity equal to or greater than 50 kW, installed on or after January 1, 2005. Generators that use combined heat and power (CHP) can receive credit for heat recovery to comply with the emission standards. Credit is given at the rate of one MWh for each 3.4 MMBtu of heat recovered. Total CHP system efficiency must be at least 55 percent. The heat recovered from a CHP unit must be at least 20 percent of the total energy output and at least 13 percent of total output must be from electric. |
