What Are the Different Types of BREF?

Mar 23 2021 Read 120 Times The Industrial Emissions Directive was introduced in 2011 (and transposed into national law by EU member states by 2013) as a means of controlling and reducing the amounts of harmful contaminants like sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and dust emitted by industrial sources. Given that the IED covers a wide range of sectors, it’s necessary to delineate the specific thresholds of emissions that are deemed allowable in each individual industry. To do this, the EU has implemented Best Available Techniques (BATs), using them to arrive at BAT-associated emissions levels (BAT-AELS). These BAT-AELS are listed in BREFs, or Best available technique REFerence documents.

What Does the EU s BREF Mean for Large Combustion Plants? Envirotech Online

Mar 07 2021 Read 298 Times 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.
