GHGs
Aggregate group
 carbon dioxide
 hydrofluorocarbons
 methane
 perfluorocarbons
 nitrous oxide
 sulfur hexafluoride
CO2e
GHG tpy multiplied by the GWP
(4000 tpy methane)(21)
= 84,000 CO2e
Applicability
 No “call-in”
Tailored thresholds consistent
with EPA
Title V
 PSD
Title V Applicability
 Potential to Emit
 100 tpy or more GHGs on mass
basis, and
 100,000 tpy or more CO2e
Title V Applicability Example
 Mass basis (condition 1)
 25,000 tpy CO2
 5,000 tpy methane
 1,000 tpy N2O
= 31,000 tpy GHGs
Title V Applicability Example
CO2e (condition 2)
 (25,000 tpy CO2)(1 GWP)
 (5,000 tpy methane)(21 GWP)
 (1,000 tpy N2O)(310 GWP)
= 440,000 tpy CO2e
Title V Applicability Example
 Does Title V apply? YES!
Mass = 31,000 tpy
100 tpy or more, and
CO2e = 440,000
 100,000 tpy or more CO2e
PSD Applicability
 EPA’s approach to GHGs
 PSD major source
 Subject to regulation
Applicability
 Calculation Help
 EPA’s website for Subpart W –
Petroleum and Natural Gas
Systems.
Summary
 Process to gain authority
 ~ Summer 2014 or later
 Consistent with EPA
