The Shell Plant began operations in November 2022 and has been operating under a construction permit DEP keeps renewing. The federal Clean Air Act and US Environmental Protection Agency regulations require that a facility submit a Title V Operating Permit application within 12 months of commencing operation. 12,671,044.75
The Evolution of 45Q As a performance-based tax credit , 45Q aims to incentivize carbon management projects that capture carbon oxides (both carbon dioxide and carbonmonoxide). The credit was introduced in 2008 and was expanded twice, with the latest version enacted in 2022 (see Table 1 ).

DEP collected a total of $897,750 in civil penalties pursuant to a consent order and agreement with Webco on December 12, 2022. Webco and DEP entered the consent order and agreement following Webco’s disclosure that carbonmonoxide (CO) emissions from the facility were significantly higher than previously known.
In September 2022, the plant emitted 512 tons of volatile organic compounds, nearly reaching in that one month the 12-month permitted limit of its approved volatile organic compound emissions (516.2 Our organizations have filed a notice of intent to sue Shell for the consistent violation of air pollution limits.
Shell exceeded its rolling 12-month total emission limitations for volatile organic compounds (VOC) beginning in October 2022 through April 2023, carbonmonoxide (CO) from February through March 2023, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) from December 2022 through April 2023, and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) from December 2022 through April 2023.
Shell also violated its 12-month emission limit for carbonmonoxide-- 393.595-- by reporting 1,060.320 tons. The Shell Petrochemical Plant has received a total of 11 Air Quality violations and two Water Quality violations since July, 2022. tons of nitrogen oxides. Shell reported emissions of 393.595.

million in 2022 Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant funding to help municipalities, schools, and businesses around the state switch to clean transportation and improve air quality in their communities. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up the climate, in the air.
Vehicles can emit nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), carbonmonoxide (CO), and other pollutants like particulate matter (PM 2.5 , PM 10 ), all of which can negatively affect people’s health. Air quality heatmap, Central Park, NYC April 4-6, 2022. For example, researchers have associated exposure to NO 2 , PM 10 , and PM 2.5
Each monitor provided continuous sampling for hydrogen sulfide, volatile organic compounds, oxygen, carbonmonoxide and lower explosive limit levels. On March 25, 2022, United Refining transmitted the results of the Benzene sampling for the two week period from March 1, 2022 to March 15, 2022.
The AFIG Program funds projects that replace older gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicles with cleaner fuel vehicles that helps reduce emissions of carbonmonoxide, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide, a principal greenhouse gas.
By replacing older polluting engines and equipment with new technologies, funded projects remove nitrogen oxide, carbonmonoxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon pollution from the air. “This comprehensive approach to reducing vehicle emissions will help improve Pennsylvanians’ health while also helping to slow climate change.”
Switching to these zero- and low-emission fuels helps lower levels of many air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbonmonoxide, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up our climate. Posted: April 14, 2022] PA Environment Digest

By reducing nitrogen oxide, carbonmonoxide, particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants from the transportation sector, we make the air quality healthier in our communities, while helping to slow down climate change and its impacts,” Ziadeh added. million settlement with Volkswagen.
Air Pollution Air pollutants such as carbonmonoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from various stages of shale gas development. Steele, Executive Director [PaEN] [Posted: August 6, 2022] PA Environment Digest
Carbon Management Funding For example, in 2021 the Department of Energy’s budget for carbon management was between $300 and $500 million annually. With passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure law that year, about $12 billion more was allocated over the five years between 2022 and 2026—roughly an eightfold annual increase.
Another good fact is that 2023, like 2022, did not have a named storm form before the official season start, unlike the 7 straight years from 2015 to 2021. 2022 fortunately kept to the lower end of the forecast range with 14 named storms, eight hurricanes, and two major hurricanes.
More than 1,000 pounds of carbonmonoxide, 500 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 100 pounds of hydrogen sulfide were released during this event. The EPA is currently working on updating the RMP rule, slated to be released for public comment in September 2022 with a final rule issued by August 2023. This event was hardly unique.
In 1963, a typical car—which ran on leaded gasoline without pollution control devices— emitted 520 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1,700 pounds of carbonmonoxide, and 90 pounds of nitrogen oxide every 10,000 miles traveled. At the end of 2022, there were more than 283 million. In 1960, there were 61.6 That’s not healthy.
From 2017 to 2022, shale gas operators sent a total of 911,006 cubic feet of radioactive TENORM waste to low-level radioactive waste facilities for disposal. We have been subjected to continual gas inhalation, methanol byproducts, carbonmonoxide, H2S [hydrogen sulfide] gas, etc., They posted it up. None of it was corrected.”
In 2022, the transportation sector was responsible for 28 percent of global warming pollution in the country. It is one of the so-called criteria air pollutants , along with NOx, SOx, carbonmonoxide (CO), and lead 5. See the pie charts below. Bermix Studio/Unsplash PM2.5: A subset of these particles, called PM2.5,
"After a comprehensive literature review, our research found that the household use of methane gas, wood, propane and heating oil impacts indoor air quality, health, and drives climate change through the emission of compounds such as carbonmonoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, formaldehyde and others."
