Dear Environment Sector members:
One of the key values we strive to provide for our members
is leadership in the scientific community. One indicator of
our success is the selection by the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) of three of our Climate staff members
as lead authors on the upcoming IPCC Fifth Assessment Report.
They will serve on the writing team of the Working Group III
Report, “Mitigation of Climate Change.” The three
are Richard Richels who will serve as lead author for the
chapter titled, “Drivers, Trends and Mitigation,”
and Geoff Blanford and Steve Rose, who will be lead authors
for the chapter titled, “Assessing Transformation Pathways.”
They are three of the approximately 200 people selected from
more than 3000 nominations to work on the report. Also, a
recently completed National Research Council report on America’s
Climate Choices had two chapters authored by EPRI staff members.
And our greenhouse gas emissions offsets workshops continue
to receive accolades from all parties as “can’t-miss
events.”
On the regulatory front, we are assuming a leadership role
in providing members, regulators, and other stakeholders with
the best possible information on several important issues.
Here are a few examples:
- technology demonstrations, scientific information, and
economic assessments for the Clean Water Act Section 316(b)
cooling system/fish protection rulemaking
- independent review of the hazardous air pollutant Information
Collection Request data
- innovative technologies to remove mercury and selenium
from power plant water discharges in anticipation of more-stringent
effluent guidelines
- data analysis and economic information in response to
EPA’s request for comments on the proposed coal combustion
residuals rulemaking
- establishment of a first-of-its-kind water quality trading
program in the Ohio River Basin
- tools and methods to meet anticipated NERC transmission
line vegetation management standards
- health and risk studies to inform EPA’s decision
on the wide-ranging arsenic cancer slope factor (potentially
affecting groundwater cleanup, pole management, and air
emissions management)
- exposure assessment for crystalline silica, beryllium,
and chromium welders and power plant employees
This next issue of Quick News will arrive in September,
as we skip one summer issue because of vacations of our staff
(and yours). Here’s hoping that you all have a
wonderful summer and have an opportunity to spend some time
relaxing with friends and family.

| EPRI to Advise Biomass Council.
Steven Rose was asked to participate in an expert
panel for the Council on Sustainable Biomass Production
and advise the Council on its design of biofuel and biopower
standards as they relate to greenhouse gas emissions and
reductions. The Council’s vision is to ensure that
U.S. biomass feedstocks and bioenergy (both fuel and electricity)
are produced in a sustainable manner. Members include
energy producers, growers, refiners, and environmental
groups. For more information, contact Steven Rose, (202)
293-6183, srose@epri.com. |

| Setting the Record Straight on Historic
and Projected Emissions. Manning,
M.R., et al. “Misrepresentation
of the IPCC CO2 emission scenarios,” Nature
Geoscience, 2010, 3(6):376-377. This technical correspondence
addresses a recent mischaracterization of Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) CO2 emissions projections
that has led to the incorrect conclusion that current
fossil fuel CO2 emissions are higher than those represented
in the climate change scenarios used by the last two assessments
of the IPCC. The misrepresentation has unfortunately already
surfaced in climate policy discussions. The correspondence
is coauthored by EPRI’s Steven Rose and 17 other
scientists. It describes the origin, intent, and use of
IPCC emissions scenarios, and “sets the record straight”
on a specific misuse of these emissions scenarios in recent
publications. For more information, contact Steven Rose,
(202) 293-6183, srose@epri.com.

|
| In this EPRI-cosponsored
working paper, the authors used MIT’s U.S. Regional
Energy Policy model to analyze the economic and regional
effects of different climate change policies. The
analysis showed that higher energy prices resulting from
national cap-and-trade policies “would tend to be
progressive” by placing less burden on lower-income
households and more on wealthier households. |
|
| . Steven
Rose was asked to speak to the Utilities Air Regulatory
Group on the use of the social cost of carbon (SCC) in
federal regulations. |
|

| . Building on the experience
of using water budgets, water balances, complex dynamic
watershed models, and simple indices, EPRI plans to build
a “Water Prism,” a water management decision
support system analogous to EPRI’s Prism-MERGE methodology
(used to examine alternative technology pathways to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions in the electric sector).
The Water Prism tool will provide a visual that will communicate
clearly to any interested party an understanding of water
availability in a watershed, including management options
for all stakeholders. |

| Sonic Dissuader Keeps Pileated Woodpeckers
From Damaging Utility Poles. Pileated
Woodpecker Damage to Electric Utility Poles: Evaluation
of the Sonic Dissuader (EPRI Product 1021375).
The Sonic Dissuader is a novel electronic device developed
by Myrica Systems, Inc. (Manitoba, Canada) to dissuade
pileated woodpeckers from damaging utility poles by pecking.
While the time woodpeckers spent pecking was reduced by
70% in cage tests conducted at the National Wildlife Research
Center in Ft. Collins, damage to poles still occurred.
The test results suggest that further improvements, such
as broadcasting whenever pecking occurs, could improve
effectiveness of the device for eliminating costly pole
repairs or replacements. For more information, contact
