European Commission’s proposed Directive on Industrial Emissions (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control)(Recast) –

Consultation published by The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs View original »

Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) applies to about 45,000 industrial installations in the EU (about 4,000 in the UK), ranging from refineries to breweries and from intensive pig farms to cement works. It requires each installation to have a permit containing emission limit values and other conditions based on the application of best available technique (BAT) and set to minimise emissions of pollutants likely to be emitted in significant quantities to air, water or land. Permit conditions also have to address energy efficiency, waste minimisation, prevention of accidental emissions, and site restoration.

The review culminated in the publication on 21 December 2007 of a Commission Communication accompanying the Commission’s proposal for a Directive `on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control)(recast), which in turn was accompanied by an impact assessment.

Responses should be received no later than 31 July 2008.
