The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has issued air quality regulations for reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) that place requirements on manufacturers, owners and operators of a wide variety of emergency and non-emergency stationary engines including CHP systems that have a gas-fired reciprocating engine as the prime mover. Depending on the engine type, CHP system owners and operators may need to meet operating and maintenance requirements, install controls, or conduct a performance test.

The EPA's Combined Heat and Power Partnership is hosting an interactive webinar that will include:

• An overview of the regulations
• A discussion of how the regulations apply to CHP systems
• A summary of compliance issues affecting CHP systems
• A step-by-step procedure for how to comply
• A live demonstration of EPA’s online compliance resources and tools
• A question-and-answer period

Featured speakers will include:

• Melanie King, US EPA Office of Air Quality Planning & Standards
• Roy Crystal, US EPA Region I
• Susan Lancey, US EPA Region I
