The term output-based emission standard means a standard that relates emissions to the electrical, thermal, or mechanical productive output of a device or process rather than the heat input of fuel burned or pollutant concentration in the exhaust. The term qualified waste heat resource means— exhaust heat or flared gas from any industrial or commercial process; waste gas or industrial tail gas that would otherwise be flared, incinerated, or vented; a pressure drop in any gas for an industrial or commercial process; or any other form of waste heat resource as the Secretary may determine. The term qualified waste heat resource does not include a heat resource from a process the primary purpose of which is the generation of electricity using a fossil fuel. The term waste heat to power technology means a system that generates electricity through the recovery of a qualified waste heat resource.
