( photo by Todd Mowatt) Hydro to meet tougher targets on gas Ontario Hydro will do everything it can to meet the acid gas emission targets announc- ed by Environment Minister James Bradley, Hydro's Executive Vice -President of Operations, Arvo Niitenberg, said today. "The program is a tough one and will have a significant impact on expenditures and electricity rates in the 1990s," Niitenberg said. By 1994, Hydro's total acid gas emissions must not exceed 215,000 tonnes and its sulphur dioxide emissions must not exceed 175,000 tonnes. This is 85,000 tonnes less than the former regulation. "Hydro has already made a considerable effort to reduce acid gas emissions. Our ex- isting program will require spending about $4 billion by the year 2000 and will add about four per cent to rates by that time. The new regulation will require spending another $1 billion in the 1990s, which will add another one per cent to rates," Niitenberg said. '.'Hydro will strive to meet the govern- ment's requirements through a combination Of options which will do the job at least cost. Among options to he studied are putting scrubbers on some coal-fired units, purchas- ing more electricity, and developing new technologies. such as the limestone injection scrubber currently being tested at the Lakeview Generating Station," he said. Conservation, demand management and parallel generation will also contribute. Niitenberg explained that the concept of "banking" permitted by the new regulation will enable Hydro to respond economically to fluctuations in coal use and emissions beyond its control. The"measures now being used to combat acid gas emissions — displacing coal - generated electricity with nuclear - generated, buying low sulphur and washed coal, installing low nitrogen oxide burners at the Nanticoke Generating Station (Hydro's largest coal burning facility) and purchasing electricity from Quebec and Manitoba — could assume a larger role in the future. Niitenberg added.
