GREENHOUSE GAS TECHNOLOGY VERIFICATION CENTER ELECTRICITY GENERATION STAKEHOLDERS MEETING The Environmental Technology Verification Program (ETV), in existence since 1995, is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development. It is funded by Congress in response to the belief that there are many viable environmental technologies available that are underutilized due to the lack of credible third-party performance testing. Southern Research Institute (SRI) operates one of 12 ETV centers, the Greenhouse Gas Technology Verification Center (the Center), in partnership with the EPA's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division. The mission of the Center is to provide independent performance verification to vendors and others that need reliable performance information on greenhouse gas control technologies and emission monitoring devices. The Center is currently verifying technologies that reduce methane emissions from oil and natural gas facilities, microturbines that produce on-site electricity, and technologies that convert municipal solid waste into biogas (methane). SRI has established an Electricity Generation Stakeholders Group to help the Center prioritize greenhouse gas technology areas for verification testing, develop verification guidelines, and provide peer review support. This stakeholders group includes large and small electricity generators and distributors, industry trade organizations, technology vendors, government regulatory and research organizations, and other interested organizations. The first meeting of the stakeholders group is scheduled for November 9, 1999, at the Holiday Inn National Airport at Crystal City, 2650 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA. The meeting will begin at 8:30 am EST and end at 4:00 pm EST, and is open to the public (space is limited). If you are interested in attending as an observor, please contact Linda C. Rothschild, SRI, by fax at (919) 806-2306. WEB: Not Applicable. No RFP available, http://www.epa.gov.etv. E-MAIL: Not Applicable. No contract involved., Kirchgessner.David@epa.gov.
