How does EPA propose to determine the 60% minimum efficiency for new sources or new energy-consuming industrial facilities constructed after EISA enactment?
EPA is proposing to base the 60% minimum efficiency threshold on the combined efficiency of the waste heat source and the potential waste energy recovery project. This means that the combined source and project must capture at least 60% of the total energy value of the fuel being used at the source. This efficiency threshold ensures that projects will be developed that maximize the efficiency of the overall fuel use at the source, rather than having new projects be developed based on inefficient source equipment with the primary purpose of generating waste heat.
