Definitions
States are addressing greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector in one or more ways, including: setting offset requirements for the CO2 emissions associated with electricity generation, setting greenhouse gas performance standards for power plants, establishing greenhouse gas emissions cap and trade programs for the power sector, and providing incentives to encourage advanced coal technology that can help lower/sequester greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants.
