Assistance for Major
Source Industrial Boilers
and Process Heaters
DOE will provide major sources
burning coal or oil with information on
cost-effective clean energy strategies for
compliance. DOE currently provides
technical information on clean energy
options to industry through its regional
Clean Energy Application Centers.
After the EPA reconsideration process
is concluded, DOE will supplement this
effort by providing site-specific techni-
cal and cost information to the major
source facilities currently burning coal
or oil. DOE will visit these facilities
using coal and oil to discuss strategies
for compliance, including combined
heat and power, as well as provide
information on potential funding and
financing opportunities.
These clean energy strategies can be
considered along with investments in
pollution controls to comply with the
standards in the rule. Facilities that
make use of this technical assistance can
potentially develop strategies to comply
with the regulations while adding
to their bottom line. One strategy is
natural gas combined heat and power,
which is cleaner, more energy efficient,
and can have a positive economic return
for the plant over time.
In addition, there are boiler tune-up and
energy assessment requirements in the
Boiler MACT rule for certain types of
sources. The boiler tune-up requirement
can save facilities energy-related costs
and the energy assessment requirement
will identify additional energy and cost
savings. DOE will provide information
on financial incentives available at the
local, state, utility and federal levels to
assist facilities with the costs of boiler
tune-ups and/or energy assessments.Clean Energy Application Center Contacts for Boiler MACT Technical Assistance
