A submission from Eskom to the South African government regarding proposed minimum emission standards for combustion installations, arguing for practical limits based on technological, resource, and cost constraints.

• Eskom recommends that emission standards be reviewed every five years to incorporate growing operational knowledge and experience.
• Eskom proposes that emission standards account for the remote location of South African power plants, suggesting that more stringent standards only be negotiated for plants near populated areas.
• Eskom argues that installing wet FGD on a 6 by 600 MW power station is costly, with capital costs estimated at over R3 billion and annual operating costs between R205 million and R230 million, while requiring 7 Mm³ of water per annum.
• Eskom requests the removal of carbon monoxide (CO) emission references for stationary combustion sources and gas turbines, stating that these installations are not significant sources of CO.
• Eskom states that on-line gaseous stack monitoring for SO2, NOx, and O2 is expected to be equipped on all units by the end of 2013, and requests that data capture be mandated at a minimum of 90% of plant availability.
