The European Union (EU) have introduced tougher restrictions on large combustion plants with the implementation of their new BREF guidance this year. The reference document was published in August 2017 and tightened controls regarding the emissions of dust, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), mercury, particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (though only regarding gas-fired plants for CO).
With large combustion plants having four years to bring their operations up to speed and equip them with the requisite technologies to achieve compliance, the BREF requirements will become legally binding from August this year. That means that implicated parties have just over four months to ensure that they have the right monitoring mechanisms in place to ensure they do not exceed thresholds and incur fines as a result.
