United States to Eliminate Emission Limits for Power Plants

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 09:33

The United States Government will eliminate emission limits for coal and gas power plants, reversing the decarbonization rules established in 2024. The measure represents a significant reversal of the previous environmental policy.

The head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lee Zeldin, is expected to make the announcement during a meeting of the Energy Ministers of the G20 international cooperation forum in Houston, United States.

The decision was reported by American media outlets and marks a change in the government's approach to emissions from the energy sector. The 2024 rules imposed limits on pollutants emitted by coal and natural gas-fired power plants.

Why this matters

This decision represents a significant reversal in US environmental policy, directly affecting the energy industry and global climate efforts. The announcement made in the G20 context underscores the international importance of this change in direction in carbon emission regulation.
