Process-Based Legislation
From Thermal-FluidsPedia
Unlike control-based and incentive-based statutes that regulate the amount of pollutants that an industry is allowed to release into the atmosphere, process-based legislation looks at the process or technology itself. Depending on technology, different regulations can be enacted during different stages of development from R&D to prototyping, field testing, and commercialization. Process-based legislations are usually devised by various federal and state agencies that are charged with the administration of environmental policies.
