NOx PPMv - NOx parts per million by volume (PPMv) dry basis normalised to 15% O2
UK Electrical Generation has a balance of gas fired power stations, renewable (primarily wind) and nuclear with reliable published statistics hence its use as a reference.
Guidelines Emissions for Typical Mechanical Drive Prime Movers
| PRIME MOVER | Diesel Engine | Gas Engine | Gas Turbine | Gas Turbine DLE |
| CO2 kg/MWh | 732 | 537 | 659 | 659 |
| NOx kg/MWh | 6.1 | 2.7 | 2.5 | 0.3 |
| SO2 g/MWh | 7 | 3 | 18 | 18 |
| PM10 g/MWh | 174 | 49 | 98 | 98 |
| CO g/MWh | 685 | 2,280 | 297 | 297 |
| UHC g/MWh | 349 | 6,169 | 170 | 170 |
Values are typical for machines used for mechanical drive and emergency/black-start power generation applications. Actual results will vary by model, climatic conditions and fuel composition. For Gas Engine and Turbines; values are based on pipeline quality natural gas as fuel. Diesel engines are assumed to be running on highway grade diesel fuel.
DLE - Dry Low Emissions is a technology which uses lean premixed combustion to reduce NOx emissions (Solar Turbines uses the term SoLoNOx™).
