U.S. CCS Policy
2. President’s Climate Action Plan:
Three overarching themes
Mitigation (Emissions Reduction)
• ALL OF THE ABOVE
• Efficiency, Renewables, Nuclear, Gas
• Coal with CCS/CCUS
Adaptation and Resilience
• Smart, reliable grid
• Key infrastructure investments
International Partnerships
• China and Asia
• Coordinated Intl. Efforts
2
Once in a Generation Opportunity to Build
3. 3
Effects of Market Realities
on the “All of Above” Strategy
• Regardless of EPA Greenhouse Gas
regulations, the Energy Information
Administration (EIA) projects that no new
coal-fired generation will be built in the US in
the foreseeable future.
• The expansion of shale gas production in the
U.S. has led to lower natural gas prices,
challenging the cost-competitiveness of coal-
fired power generation.

Clean Air Act - 111(b)
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) from new fossil
sources, burning at least 50% coal or 50% natural gas
Coal-Fired Units: less than 1,100 lbs CO2/MWh
Reference: New Super Critical: 1,800-2,000 lbs CO2/MWh
Coal may comply with ~ 40% capture
Gas NGCC:1,000 lbs CO2/MWh
Gas simple cycle 1,100 CO2/MWh
- Compliance is on a 12 month rolling basis
- Captured CO2 may be sent for geologic storage
- EOR may be used with appropriate reporting
Timeline:
Proposed Regulation: November, 2013
Final Regulation expected November 2014 – January 2015 (1 year after proposal)
Note: 111(b) must be final before 111(d) is final!
7. 7
Clean Air Act - 111(d): Summary
Approach:
1.) Develop Building Blocks to guide emission reductions
2.) Set state targets for 2030
3.) Request State implementation plans by 2016-2017
4.) Gradual reduction over 12 years, with binding cap in 2030
EPA defines the “best system” as the Electricity system as a whole. Therefore,
new non-emitting sources can be used
EPA is seeking to provide as much flexibility to states as possible to develop
individual plans
Published concurrently with Modified source rule (Modified sources under
111(b). Note that this counts as a precursor to 111(d) regulations, as does the
New Source Performance Standards, also under 111(b)
111(d) has only been used 5 times before for smaller rules. This is new legal
territory for EPA.
8. 8
111(d): Building Blocks
Approach: EPA Developed 4 “Building blocks”
1.) 6% Improvement in Coal Plant Heat Rate (4% from “Best
practices”, 2% from Equipment Improvements
2.) Increase existing NGCC capacity factors to 70%
3.) Expanding new, less carbon – intensive generating capacity
(Renewables, New Nuclear, and credit for retaining existing
nuclear)
4.) Demand Side Energy Efficiency
- Building blocks are calculated on a per-state basis.
- States DO NOT have to use the 4 building blocks above.
- Building blocks set the state emission rate; State Implementation Plan can
determine how best to meet the emission rate.
- 2012 Baseline Year
9. 9
CO2 emission rate =
CO2 emissions from all affected fossil fuel EGUs
Generation from affected fossil fuel EGUs +
New RE Generation +
Generation from new and “preserved” NE +
Cumulative MWh saved from demand side EE
State Implementation Plans:
- SIPs due in June, 2016, unless states opt in to a multi-state approach
- Multi-State Plans due in June, 2017.
- Plans will be evaluated based on 4 criteria:
- Enforceable Measures
- Emission Performance
- Quantifiable and Verifiable Emission Performance
- Reporting and Corrective Action
EPA will be publishing guidelines to aid states in developing SIPs

Remaining Issues/Concerns:
There are few remaining challenges for the Kemper project to overcome, but none of them are
anticipated to preclude the plant from operating as planned.
Portions of the plant are presently being tested and full operations is expected to start in early 2015.
Litigation was filed by the Sierra Club on the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The
issue is before the Mississippi State Supreme Court.
Mississippi Power Company (MPC) has increased estimated plant costs several times over the past
year. MPC will not seek to recover these increases from customers.
