In the rush to interpret EPA's draft 111(d) rule for limiting CO₂ emissions at existing power plants, a number of sources have mischaracterized or misunderstood key elements and implications.

In this webinar, Synapse's Dr. Elizabeth A. Stanton will clarify the fundamental components of 111(d), discuss implications for individual states, and answer questions from participants.

Dr. Stanton’s presentation will cover:

• Why 111(d)? The path of events that led to the draft 111(d) rule
• The Currency: The 111(d) emission rate
• The Ingredients: The 111(d) building blocks
• The Ask: What 111(d) means for individual states, including patterns and anomalies
• The Bottom Line: EPA's estimated cost of 111(d) for states

The webinar will include a one-hour Q&A session with Synapse experts and webinar participants.
