  • Ground-level Ozone Pollution

    Known as tropospheric or "ground-level" ozone, this gas is harmful to human heath and the environment. Since it forms from emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), these pollutants are regulated under air quality standards.

  • Electric Power Systems Partnership

    The SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems was a collaborative effort between EPA and the electric power industry to identify, recommend, and implement cost-effective solutions to reduce sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions.

  • Clean Air Power Sector Programs

    Clean Air Power Programs & Data describes regulatory programs such as the Acid Rain Program and the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule to reduce air pollution from the power sector that contributes to human health and environmental issues.

  • CHP Resource Center

    The CHP Partnership seeks to reduce air pollution and water usage associated with electric power generation by promoting the use of CHP. The Partnership works to remove policy barriers and to facilitate the development of new projects.

  • Utility Green Power Products

    Webinar announcement on US City & Corporate Clean Energy Procurement and Its Role in Achieving the Paris Agreement’s Goals

  • Renewable Energy Contract Development Best Practices

    The Toolbox for Renewable Energy Project Development's Renewable Energy Contract Development Best Practices page provides an overview of the Request for Proposal (RFP) process as well as resources, such as contract templates.

  • Accounting tool to support federal reporting of hydrofluorocarbon emissions

    This document provides technical documentation to support the HFC Tool.

  • Fact Sheet: Final Rule 25 - Listing of Substitutes under the Significant New Alternatives Policy Program in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Fire Suppression

    Section 612 provides that EPA must prohibit the use of a substitute where EPA has determined that there are other available or potentially available substitutes that pose less overall risk to human health and the environment.

  • Stationary Sources of Air Pollution

    This web area catalogs emissions requirements for stationary sources of air pollution by categories recognized by the Clean Air Act.

  • Controlling Air Pollution from Oil and Natural Gas Operations

    EPA regulations for the oil and natural gas industry help combat climate change and reduce air pollution that harms public health. EPA’s regulations apply to oil production, and the production, process, transmission and storage of natural gas.
