Emitter: Typical coal fired generation plant (based on 1990 figures):

• Installed Capacity: 1320MW (2*660MW steam turbines, subbituminous coal)
  
• Generation: 9,828,720 MWh/yr (assuming 85% capacity factor)
  
• CO₂emissions (1990): 9,482,659 metric tons per year (based on 2,127lb CO₂/MWh)
  
• Assuming the US Kyoto compliance requirement of 7% below 1990 levels (assumes that requirement for plants is same as country requirement): 8,818,873.70 metric tons
  
• Hence, potential annual reductions for the first compliance period (2008-2012) under future regulations:
  2008-2012 average: 9,482,659.89 metric tons per year - 7% below 1990: 8,818,873.70 metric tons per year = required reductions: 663,786.19 metric tons per year.
  
• Annual costs of compliance for different prices per ton CO₂:
