Background – EU policy


EU policy regarding energy efficiency:
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by
20% of 1990 level by 2020
Member States agreed to reach the objective
by
- Reducing energy consumption by 20 %
- Increasing use of renewable energy sources
by 20%;
- Increasing the share of biofuel in transport
sector by 20%.

Background – EU legislation



EU legislation related to industrial installations
addresses energy efficiency
IPPC Directive (96/61/EC)
Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions:
- Member States shall take measures that
energy is used efficiently (Art. 11 f)
permit applications include a description
used in or generated by the installation
(Art. 12 b)
BAT conclusions shall be the reference for
setting the permit conditions (Art 14 (3)).
EE = one criterion for determining BAT

Background – IMPEL activities



IMPEL project „Energy Efficiency in
Environmental Permits“ 2002/2003
Development of horizontal BREF document
„Energy Efficiency“
IMPEL project „Energy Efficiency in
Permitting and Inspection“ 2010
main item: evaluation of the current situation;
result: no improvements so far

Background – IMPEL activities

Proposal of a follow-up project :
Development of a template for documents
and data required regarding energy
efficiency in the permit application

Steps:
- development of the template in 2011 and
- practical test 2012

objectives of the IMPEL
project 2011 / 2012




objectives:
Identify how requirements of the EE
BREF and EE related chapters of BREFs
need to be integrated in permit activities
Explore what kind of information is
needed in permit applications
Develop a template for documents and
data required regarding energy efficiency
in the permit application
Carry out practical tests with the
template in permit procedures

Methodology and work done in 2011 (1)
 Work with an expert team (project team




plus experts)
Discussion of EE items in the IPPCDirective / IED
Presentations on EE items in LCP sector,
iron and steel sector, manufacture of
glass, cement industry and dairy sector
and discussions with experts
Development of a draft general
application form
Conclusion: general form applicable, but
sector specific supplements necessary

Methodology and work done in 2011 (2)
 Development of draft supplements for:
- the iron and steel sector*
- the manufacture of glass*
- cement, lime and magnesium oxide
production*
- food, drink and milk sector
- intensive rearing of poultry and pigs
 Basis:
- BREF documents
- BAT conclusions*
- input of experts

Methodology and work done in 2012 (1)
 Work with a working group (project
team and permit writers)
 Improvement of draft application
form and sector specific supplements
 Test of the draft application form and
the annexes in permit procedures
two alternatives
 starting permit procedures or
 finalised permit procedures
 translation of general application
form, sector specific annex for glass
industry and intensive rearing of
poultry and pigs into German

Methodology and work done in 2012 (2)

draft application form and sector
specific supplements were tested in
the following sectors:
 steel sector by ARPA Lombardia (IT)
 glass industry (DE)
 intensive rearing of pigs (DE)
 two small food processing companies
(DE)
 sloughter house (DK)
 large combustion plant based on
biomass (DK)

Results (1)
 evaluation of the work with the documents and
the experience with them by using a
questionnaire
 Main results:
clear definition of system boundaries – key
challenge
use of benchmarks – good approach
 collection of EE data from previous years
would allow for comparisons and identification
of improvements
18-7-2015
12
Results (2)
 participating operators partly declared their
data as confidential
 existing installations: sometimes difficult for the
operators to provide the necessary data
(does not apply for companies with ISO 50 001
system)
 new installations: operators have the data and
are able to fill in the application forms
 participants in the test said that sector specific
supplemetns were useful
18-7-2015
13
Results (3)
 motivation of operators was higher when they
were directly contacted by representatives
from the authority and advice was offered
 representatives of an agricultural organisation
said that the information required is available
for new installations and made proposals for
the improvement of the annex
 motivation of operators does not necessarily
correspond with the size of the installation –
two small food processing companies were
highly motivated

14
Results – consequences for authorities
 authorities: need for specialisation / training of
staff members for dealing with EE
 the general application form and the
supplements were considered as valuable –
provide basic knowledge
 application should be well prepared and
carried out in 3 steps
- kickoff-meeting with introduction to the tools
- completion of the forms by the operator
- meeting for verification and discussion of the
results
18-7-2015
15
Results – consequences for authorities
 permit conditions related to EE
some authorities have developed a set of permit
conditions for their installations
 permit conditions become part of the
inspections
 exchange of information about dealing with EE
in permit procedures is necessary
18-7-2015
16
Further developments



test of the use of the project products for the
renewal of permits (Arpa Lombardia)
test of the draft application form and the
annexes in permit procedures (SH)
discussion of indicators / benchmarking with
permit writers
18-7-2015
17
Applicability of BAT conclusions




Focus on production of cement, iron and steel
and manufacture of glass
Important that the item is part of the
conclusions
EE chapters but give important input and
orientation
For details permit writers have to use the
BREF documents
18-7-2015
18
Recommendations for future work
 Workshop on assessment of the




application documents regarding EE
Development of a presentation for training
on dealing with EE in permit procedures
Integrating the discussion on energy
efficiency in other sector specific IMPELprojects
Developing an online tool for energy data
submission (e.g. electronic application
form for EE)
Integrating EE in inspection work
