S.L. 549.122 Art. 11Emission limit values. S.L. 549.77. 10 [S.L. Existing medium combustion plants. New medium combustion plants.

(1) Without prejudice to the Industrial Emissions

(Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) Regulations, where applicable, the emission limit values set out in the Second Schedule to these regulations shall apply to medium combustion plants. 549.122 COMBUSTION PLANTS

(2) Where a medium combustion plant simultaneously uses two or more fuels, the emission limit value for each pollutant shall be calculated by:

(a) taking the emission limit value relevant for each individual fuel as set out in the Second Schedule;

(b) determining the fuel-weighted emission limit value, which is obtained by multiplying the individual emission limit value referred to in point (a) by the thermal input delivered by each fuel, and dividing the product of multiplication by the sum of the thermal inputs delivered by all fuels; and

(c) aggregating the fuel-weighted emission limit values.

(3) From 1 January 2025, emissions into the air of SO , NO 2 x and dust from an existing medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input greater than 5 MW shall not exceed the emission limit values set out in Tables 2 and 3 of Part 1 of the Second Schedule.

(4) From 1 January 2030, emissions into the air of SO , NO 2 x and dust from an existing medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input of less than or equal to 5 MW shall not exceed the emission limit values set out in Tables 1 and 3 of Part 1 of the Second Schedule.

(5) From 20 December 2018, emissions into the air of SO ,

2

NO and dust from a new medium combustion plant shall not exceed x the emission limit values set out in Part 2 of the Second Schedule.
