Pennsylvania’s participation in RGGI would establish a program to limit CO2 emissions from fossil fuel-fired Pennsylvania has the fifth leading CO2 emitting electricity generation sector in the United States, and RGGI RGGI is a “cap and invest” program that sets a regulatory limit on CO2 emissions from fossil fuel-fired RGGI provides a ”two-prong” approach to reducing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel-fired EGUs.
