PCB sets Dec closing date for captive power crops on emission norms
Striking balance between environmental issues and stability of power provide, the central air pollution keep an eye on board issued orders mentioning captive power crops based on solid fuels will agree to emission norms of particulate topic by way of December 31, 2018.
Captive power crops which have to install technology to remove sulphur dioxide from fuel gases will have to comply by way of June 30, 2020.
Those commissioned earlier than 2003 have to reach goals by way of December 2018, and the ones commissioned between 2004 and 2016 will have to agree to new emission limits by way of June 2020.
