§ 60.47Da - Commercial demonstration permit.
(a) An owner or operator of an affected facility proposing to demonstrate an emerging technology may apply to the Administrator for a commercial demonstration permit. The Administrator will issue a commercial demonstration permit in accordance with paragraph (e) of this section. Commercial demonstration permits may be issued only by the Administrator, and this authority will not be delegated.
(b) An owner or operator of an affected facility that combusts solid solvent refined coal (SRC-I) and who is issued a commercial demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the SO
(c) An owner or operator of an affected facility that uses fluidized bed combustion (atmospheric or pressurized) and who is issued a commercial demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the SO
(d) The owner or operator of an affected facility that combusts coal-derived liquid fuel and who is issued a commercial demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the applicable NO
(e) Commercial demonstration permits may not exceed the following equivalent MW electrical generation capacity for any one technology category, and the total equivalent MW electrical generation capacity for all commercial demonstration plants may not exceed 15,000 MW.
Technology | Pollutant | Equivalent electrical capacity
(MW electrical output) | Solid solvent refined coal (SCR I) | SO | 6,000-10,000 | Fluidized bed combustion (atmospheric) | SO | 400-3,000 | Fluidized bed combustion (pressurized) | SO | 400-1,200 | Coal liquification | NO | 750-10,000 | Total allowable for all technologies | 15,000 |

(f) An owner or operator of an affected facility that uses a pressurized fluidized bed or a multi-pollutant emissions controls system who is issued a commercial demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the total PM emission reduction requirements under § 60.42Da but must, as a minimum, reduce PM emissions to less than 6.4 ng/J (0.015 lb/MMBtu) heat input.
(g) An owner or operator of an affected facility that uses a pressurized fluidized bed or a multi-pollutant emissions controls system who is issued a commercial demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the SO
(h) An owner or operator of an affected facility that uses a pressurized fluidized bed or a multi-pollutant emissions control system or advanced combustion controls who is issued a commercial demonstration permit by the Administrator is not subject to the NO
(i) Commercial demonstration permits may not exceed the following equivalent MW electrical generation capacity for any one technology category listed in the following table.
Technology | Pollutant | Equivalent electrical capacity
(MW electrical output) | Multi-pollutant Emission Control | SO | 1,000 | Multi-pollutant Emission Control | NO | 1,000 | Multi-pollutant Emission Control | PM | 1,000 | Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion | SO | 1,000 | Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion | NO | 1,000 | Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion | PM | 1,000 | Advanced Combustion Controls | NO | 1,000 |
