Introduction Diesel generators (DGs) are essential backup power sources for industrial, commercial, and residential use. However, they contribute to air pollution by emitting NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen), CO (Carbon Monoxide), PM (Particulate Matter), NMHC (Non-Methane Hydrocarbons), and SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide). To regulate these emissions and minimize environmental impact, various emission control standards have been established based on plant capacity, generator commissioning date, and area category. This blog post explores the emission limits for diesel generators, area classification, and the importance of adhering to regulatory norms to ensure compliance and environmental sustainability. Emission Standards for Diesel Generators The emission limits for diesel generators depend on the following key factors: Area Category: Category A - Municipal areas with a population of more than 10 lakh and up to 5 km beyond the municipal limits. Category B - Areas outside Category A, which are less den...
