As of 30.11.2015. Notes for the values on this sheet:

These are the general legally-binding values. Many exceptions exist and are not listed here. Refer to the

Reference pages below. Bear in mind that local permitting authorities may always ask stricter emission

levels than those described here.

New and Existing:

MCP

Article 3 (6):

“‘existing combustion plant’ means a combustion plant put into operation before 20 December 2018 or for

which a permit was granted before 19 December 2017 pursuant to national legislation provided that the

plant is put into operation no later than 20 December 2018;”. All subsequent plants are considered “new”.

IED

Article 30.2 defines “existing” plants. “All permits for installations containing combustion plants which

have been granted a permit before 7 January 2013, or the operators of which have submitted a complete

application for a permit before that date, provided that such plants are put into operation no later than 7

January 2014, shall include conditions ensuring that emissions into air from these plants do not exceed the

emission limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex V.” All subsequent plants are considered “new”.

LCP BREF

Definition of a new LCP is “A combustion plant first permitted at the installation following the publication

of these BAT conclusions or a complete replacement of a combustion plant on the existing foundations

following the publication of these BAT conclusions” The BAT Conclusions being still unpublished, the “new”

date is still unknown (although expected to be early 2017). All other plants are considered existing, but

many exemptions exist to the values in the EPPSA table.

BATAEL notes:

FBC: FBC boiler combusting coal and/or lignite and lignite-fired pulverised coal boiler

PC: coal-fired PC boiler

FB: in case of circulating or pressurised fluidised bed combustion

PL: Pulverised Lignite Combustion

Note:

The Benchmark values were proposed by the European Commission in its 2013 initial proposal.

They were removed by the Codecision procedure (Parliament and Council). These figures have no

legally-binding value, but they were officially published by the European Commission, and as

such may be evoked in regions with high pollution.
