Ameren has been a leader in lowering NOx emissions. In 1990 AmerenUE, now Ameren Missouri, an Ameren subsidiary, implemented a long term emission reduction program. Based on NOx emission rates in 2009, Ameren had 13 of the top 20 plants nation-wide including the top 4 for T-fired coal units without SCRs. These reductions can be attributed to the addition of OFA, boiler tuning, utilization of combustion optimization software, and Ameren’s dedication to reducing NOx emissions by maintaining a group of combustion engineers. Ameren will discuss recent advances in this area.

Emerging Environmental Regulations and Their Impacts on the Electric Utility Industry Steven C. Whitworth, Ameren Services There are numerous environmental regulations in place that impact the electric utility industry. In the last year, the USEPA has announced an almost unprecedented number of new initiatives as well as revisions to existing regulations. This presentation will provide an update on several regulations that will impact the electric utility industry including the Clean Water Act 316(b) provisions for cooling water intake structures, a proposal to revise the steam electric effluent guideline limitations, the proposed coal combustion residual (CCR) rule, the proposed Clean Air Transport rule and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for hazardous air pollutants for electric generating units and other power plant equipment including industrial boilers and reciprocating internal combustion engines. The presentation will provide information on potential impacts of the regulations on power plants and a discussion of potential compliance options with a focus on a power plant perspective.
