Technology and Policy Options for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

State and Territory Air Pollution Program Administrators (STAPPA)
Association of Local Air Pollution Control Officials (ALAPCO)
Completed 1999

Synapse worked with MJBradley and Associates for STAPPA and ALAPCO - the two national associations of air pollution control officials in the 55 states and territories and over 165 major metropolitan areas - to develop a comprehensive document on greenhouse gas mitigation options.  Synapse analyzed the cost and emissions reductions from technology options available in the electric generating sector, including combined heat and power production, combined-cycle generation, co-firing and atmospheric fluidized bed combustion, integrated gasification combined cycle, fuel cells, carbon dispatch, and renewables.  Project completed in 1999.
