emissions of NOx via permit limits, trading programs and BACT because NOx reacts with volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight to form O3 (urban “smog”), which is an NAAQS pollutant. VOC is also known as NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbon), ROG (reactive organic gases), TGNMO (total gaseous non-methane organics), and others. Capstone’s measurement of THC (total hydrocarbons) includes VOC and methane, and is therefore a more conservative measure of hydrocarbon emissions than is VOC. Most emissions sources will require some form of after burn treatment of exhaust gases in order to achieve the low emissions required by the regulations. The Capstone MicroTurbine uses very clean combustion technology to achieve low emissions without the aid of such devices. 7.3 Mobile Applications The EPA is authorized to regulate emissions from mobile sources in all states except California where the California Air Resources Board regulates emissions. The EPA regulates mobile sources within 2 broad categories; heavy-duty vehicles (which includes the engines for Urban Buses) and passenger vehicles. One of the applications of the Capstone MicroTurbine is as a low emissions on board battery charger in electric buses (this application is generally referred to as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle or HEV). In this application, the EPA under the heavy-duty category could potentially regulate the emissions of the Capstone MicroTurbine. While regulations have been established for heavy-duty diesel engines in mobile applications, the EPA has not established regulations that apply to MicroTurbines at this time. Capstone has, however, undertaken its own assessment of the emissions of the Capstone MicroTurbine in HEV applications. The following table compares the emissions of the Capstone MicroTurbine with the heavy-duty diesel engine regulations.
