German lignite plans emit too much NOx – report
Clean Energy Wire
More than two-thirds of Germany’s lignite plants emit higher amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx) than would be permitted under new EU standards (which have not been implemented into German law so far), a report published by Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) and Climate-Alliance Germany finds. NOx emissions could be reduced by more than half if power station operators installed new filter systems, the organisations say.
