Options credit

Utihties that reduce emissions below the number of allowances they hold may trade emissions credits on the open market. Owners of plants affected by Phase I regulations can also petition the EPA for a two-year extension for meeting Phase I emissions if they have selected a control option capable of reducing SO2 emissions by 90% or more, such as is capable by flue-gas desulfurization. Owners of these units can receive bonus allowances for 1997—1999 if they have operated at SO2 emissions below 0.52 kg/10 kj (1.2 lb/10 Btu) of fuel heating value input. 

The issues of faciUtating options such as energy storage and transmission may prove to be important to the success of wind energy technology. Cost-effective storage coupled to wind systems would yield capacity credit benefits. In addition, because sites are often isolated, the value of wind energy would benefit from transmission/distribution access. 

Depreciation, amortization, depletion, and investment credit are all factors that affect the taxes a company must pay, and hence the profit that can be made. When the government wishes industry to change its direction, it can manipulate these factors to make certain options more profitable. The engineer must be aware of these changes, since they can be the deciding factor on whether a project should be continued. 

Barium treatment is generally preferred to purging where salt discharge to the sea is not an option. The barium cost in Table 24.3 allows for carbonate credits. 

Some parents reported that rather than have credit or debit cards, which were often targeted, they had no option but to live with the inconvenience of having to visit the bank in person each time they wanted cash. And still they would be vulnerable to theft, sometimes through ingenious foils ... 

Consider next some issues of motivation. An individual s preference can be inconsistent in various ways that do not imply any kind of split self. It is possible to make a person prefer A over and C over D, even if A is essentially the same option as D, and the same as C. For instance, Mr H. mows his own lawn. His neighbor s son would mow it for 8. He wouldn t mow his neighbor s same-sized lawn for 20 (Thaler 1980). The proposed explanation for this phenomenon is that people value out-of-pocket expenses differently from opportunity cost, thus creating a normatively unjustifiable presumption in favour of the status quo. Although this particular example may yield to another explanation (Section IX), many other cases certainly fit this distinction. Thus, credit card customers may be less deterred by a cash discount to non-users than by a surcharge to users, even if the two are substantively the same (Thaler 1980). If in such cases it is possible to induce preference reversal, it is not because two parts of the person have different preferences. Rather it is because the person reacts to the way in which the options are presented, and not simply to their substantive content.

To adequately determine the overall effect of C02 for each option studied, the C02 balance must incorporate C02 emissions in addition to those emitted from the process itself. For example, each case produces electricity, except for the maximum hydrogen production case (Case 3), and for these cases (Cases 1, 2, and 4) a C02 emissions credit must be taken for displacing electricity from the grid. Because the maximum hydrogen production case (Case 3) requires some grid electricity, the system must be debited (rather than credited) with C02 emissions equivalent to the plant s net electricity requirement. Additionally, for the two options that recover coalbed methane (Case 3 and 4), each of those systems must be credited... 

The first attempt can probably credited to Huang et al.44 who performed the purification of trypsin from extract of porcine pancreas. They successfully used an SMB consisting only six affinity columns, which shows that SMB with a very limited number of columns can be attractive. Even if the four-zone process had fairly high performances in separation efficiency, the addition of a fifth zone used as a washing section (cf. Fig. 4, option 2) was advised. 

Options 5 and 6. Co-disposal with Fly Ash. Cost calculations for these two options were made on a basis similar to that for Option 4. The amount of fly ash to be co-disposed with coal-cleaning waste was equivalent to the addition of 25% of hydrated lime to the pile [2 ]. In addition to the extra capital and operating costs of earth-moving equipment at the disposal site, the costs of uploading, truck hauling for 15 miles, and unloading are included. A credit from the power plant is also included. 

The EITC is a wage supplement paid directly to eligible low-income families. It is designed to help lift poor families out of poverty. Such programmes are typically the responsibility of the US Department of Health and Human Services however, the EITC is administered solely by the US Treasury, since it is a tax credit obtained as part of the process of filing a tax return with the US Internal Revenue Service. Recipients may choose to receive EITC payments in one lump sum at tax refund time, or in regular fractional periodic payments throughout the year. The bulk of EITC recipients opt for the lump sum option. 

Production scale rental units can be operated by taking a side stream from an existing process. This facilitates comparisons of the new equipment to existing plant operations. Rental cost for one month will be approximately three percent of the purchase price of the test equipment, credit for part of the rental is usually offered against the purchase of a production unit. Rental periods may be limited, however lease options are available.
