*Webinar - Today, 1PM ET*

*Innovation and the NSPS *
How can the EPA encourage innovative new technologies?
*/Webinar - 1PM ET - 2PM ET Thursday, May 9, 2013/*

**

EPA regulations for biomass heating devices often have addressed one set 
of problems, and inadvertently led to others as technology developed. 
The EPA has stated that in the next wood heater New Source Performance 
Standard (NSPS), it wants to "minimize potential loopholes." How can the 
NSPS encourage and not discourage new technologies that may be cleaner 
and more efficient, but have difficulty with approved test methods? What 
lessons have we learned from the existing NSPS and EPA voluntary 
programs? Register for this free webinar
