General Guidelines |
The Center for Clean Air Policy will lead a team of representatives from agencies, non-profits, the energy sector, and State public benefit fund leaders to demonstrate the benefits of applying selection criteria to support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects with public benefit charge funds. Specifically the team will design and test criteria to support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that reduce the maximum amount of toxic emissions-especially mercury, dioxins/furans and cadmium-deposited from the air into the Great Lakes. The criteria will then be applied to fund decisions at a pilot scale in Illinois and New York to estimate the resulting air quality benefits achieved. |
