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.
