Cutting particle pollution, nitrogen NO x , and SO x by more than 25% as a co-benefit. The value allocated here in EPA’s goal-setting formula was an average heat rate improvement of 6% for coal steam electric generating units (EGUs). It includes a wide range of anticipated climate impacts—e.g., state compliance) to $7.4
