DEP this week published a notice certifying the availability of over 19,639 tons of emission reduction credits companies can use to comply with new source review requirements or to trade or sell to other companies to offset the impact of new emission sources.

There are 13,811.53 tons of nitrogen oxide and 5,828.13 tons of volatile organic compound credits available. They are listed by company that generated the credits and include expiration dates.

Credits are generated from the curtailment or shutdown of a source of air pollution or from the over control of emissions.

For more information on the availability of emission reduction credits and their uses, particularly for economic development projects, read the Emission Reduction Credit Registry overview document online. The listing of credits is available in the October 30 PA Bulletin (page 5980).
