Output-Based Environmental Regulation

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-019962

Output-based environmental regulations (OBR) relate emissions to the productive output of a process. Establishing emission limits on an output basis (i.e., units of pollutant per unit of useful output [pounds per megawatt-hour, lb/MWh]) recognizes efficiency improvements as pollution prevention.
