Emission Benchmarks 2 This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium IPPC AND IED Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive 2008/1/EC (IPPC) is now part of the ‘recast’ Directive 2010/75/EU on Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) IED combined 7 former Directives (which includes IPPC) - in most cases with little or no change One important change is that IED, once fully transposed, will in some cases establish a stricter approach to BAT since it requires ELVs to be met within the integrated permits Nevertheless since the term IPPC is well understood, it will be retained for the present presentation This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium BREF BACKGROUND BAT Concept - IPPC Directive 96/61/EC BAT - Dynamic Concept Best Available Technology Reference Document IPPC - Public Access to Information - Aarhus Convention EU MSs and CAs - responsible for decisions at IPPC permit level 4 This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium BREF BACKGROUND BREFs Have no legal basis – just advisory Are not prescriptive Are not site specific Report emission levels associated with BAT and not ELVs Tools for driving environmental performance Must form part of an integrated approach 5 This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium IMPORTANT ISSUES TO NOTE ABOUT BREFS BREFs summarises the collective experience of the Member States in protecting the environment by operating certain processes (Annex I of IPPC) using processes which are considered to be BAT so that the emissions meet the respective ELVs They DO NOT provide a template for the permit to operate a particular installation since they cannot be site specific They do provide a good starting point on the possible measures needed to be introduced to minimise emissions to protect the environment from the operation of a given installation No specific technique is ever prescribed in any BREF and any that are mentioned should be treated as examples only Operators can opt to use any technique (which does include the operating conditions) as long as the ELVs which are considered to be BAT in the BREF are met This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium BREF BACKGROUND BAT DEFINITION “B”– BEST: most effective techniques in achieving environmental protection by preventing (or at least minimising) emissions “A”– AVAILABLE: economically and technically viable “T”- TECHNIQUES: technology used and way in which plant is designed, built, operated and decommissioned 7 This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium BREF BACKGROUND BAT SELECTION - depends on Technical characteristics of the installation / facility Geographical location Local environmental considerations Economic and technical viability of upgrading existing installation/facility 8 This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium BREF BACKGROUND DETERMINING BAT Costs and benefits of measure Identification of BAT Achievable emissions Environmental impacts – air, land, water This Project is funded by the European Union Installation time Technical reliability BREF’s Energy use Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium BREF BACKGROUND BAT HIERARCHY Emphasis on pollution prevent and not ‘end of pipe’ abatement Use of low waste technologies Maximising on recovery / recycling Adoption of efficient / effective technologies Minimising impact of environmental emissions Energy efficiency and raw material use Accident prevention and implementation of SEVESO III as and when necessary 10 This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium ACTIVITIES IN ANNEX I OF IPPC RELEVANT TO THE IRON AND STEEL SECTOR Production and processing of metals 2.1.

European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium NATIONAL BREFS BREFs are very long (FMP BREF is 538 pages and IS BREF 627 pages) They are approved, as official version, only in English language This often constitutes a limit for their application, especially at local level where knowledge of technical terms in a foreign language can be limited Based on a broad analysis of techniques and processes in EU MS As such they can include BATs and standards hardly applicable in Serbian context An effective and pragmatic approach has been adopted in different EU MS by the preparation of National BREF documents, tailoring the content of BREF documents to the specific situation of the Country Serbia has decided also to produce National BREFs and these are being prepared by the present Project This Project is funded by the European Union Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium 2001 FMP BREF AND 2013 IS BREF FMP BREF for Iron and Steel Production under IPPC This Project is
