The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed on Nov. 22 to tighten limits on nitrogen oxide emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants as part of its efforts to reduce pollutants.

The EPA stated that the rule will reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from “most new, modified, and reconstructed” fossil fuel-fired stationary combustion turbines built at power plants and industrial facilities.
