How does EPA propose to calculate the emissions savings potential of waste energy recovery projects on the WERR?
Avoided grid emissions will be calculated based on EPA’s Emission & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID). eGRID, developed by EPA’s Climate Protection Partnership Division’s State and Local Branch, contains data on the environmental attributes of virtually all of the electric power generated in the United States, linking air emissions to electricity generated. The most recent version, the sixth edition of eGRID, eGRID2007, includes operational data from 2005.
