Meeting current and looming emissions and air quality control requirements-on both state and federal levels-may prove to be a daunting challenge. The Southeast Biomass Conference & Expo being held Nov. 2-4 in Atlanta will cover the issues facing biomass electricity generation plants and projects in the Southeast and provide solutions to overcome them.



Angela Morrison Uhland, an attorney with Tallahassee, Fla.-based Hopping Green and Sams, will be one of the presenters in the panel session titled Understanding Your Emissions Liabilities and the Technological Options to Control Them. Her 20 years of experience working with Clean Air Act Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting issues will be of great value as she discusses the issues that could arise in the permitting process, as well as what federal agencies could consider in a case-by-case Best Available Control Technology determination.



“In light of both EPA’s greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments under the revised renewable fuel standard (RFS) and EPA’s intent to regulate GHG emissions on a case-by-case basis under the PSD program beginning as early as January, this presentation will be very timely, and will provide information that is important to all existing and proposed biofuel and biopower facilities,” Uhland said. “Without getting into the technical details of the RFS program, this presentation will provide a brief overview of EPA's findings regarding the impact on GHG emissions for the various types of biofuels and any production techniques that must be followed to meet the GHG emission threshold requirements.”
