The Department of Environmental Protection this week published a notice of availability of emission reduction credits, by company, in the state’s Emission Credit Registry and a summary of recent transactions (January 22 PaB 586).

Included in the Registry are credits for nitrogen oxide, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur oxides and particulate matter.

Credits in the Registry can be used to satisfy new source review requirements and to trade and sell to companies that need them or have an excess.

For more information contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, 717-787-4325 or go to Emissions Credit Registry background paper.

DEP also published notice of the NOx budget training program; new source set-aside 2005 proposed allocations and the NOx budget training program; proposed NOx allowance allocations for 2008 to 2012 this week.
