Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 6
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 6
(6) ’existing combustion plant’ means a combustion plant put into operation before [12 year after the date of transposition]; or for which a permit was granted before [2 year after the date of transposition] pursuant to national legislation provided that the plant is put into operation no later than [3 year after date of transposition];
Amendment 166 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 3 a (new)
Article 3 a (new)
Article 3 a Aggregation rules The combination formed by two or more new medium combustion plants may be considered as a single medium combustion plant for the purpose of this Directive and their rated thermal input added for the purpose of calculating the total rated thermal input of the plant, where: - the waste gases of such medium combustion plants are discharged through a common stack; or - taking into account technical and economic factors, the waste gases of such medium combustion plants could be discharged through a common stack.
Amendment 186 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 6 a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. For medium combustion plants which are part of an installation covered by chapter II of Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions, the requirements of this Article are deemed to be fulfilled through compliance with the provisions of that Directive.
Amendment 193 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 5 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. In the case of a multi-fuel firing medium combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the competent authority shall set the emission limit values in accordance with the following steps: (a) taking the emission limit value relevant for each individual fuel and pollutant corresponding to the total rated thermal input of the entire combustion plant, as set out in Annex II; (b) determining fuel-weighted emission limit values, which are 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; (c) aggregating the fuel-weighted emission limit values. In the case of a multi-fuel firing medium combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the monitoring of emissions shall be done while firing a fuel mix which represents normal operating conditions.
Amendment 225 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3
Member States may exempt existing medium combustion plants which do not operate more than 1500 operating hours per year as a rolling average over a period of 5 years from compliance with the emission limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex II. In that case, for plants firing solid fuels, an emission limit value for particulate matterdust of 200 mg/Nm³ shall apply.
Amendment 253 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 2
Article 5 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 2
Member States may exempt new medium combustion plants which do not operate more than 1500 operating hours per year as a rolling average over a period of 5 years from compliance with the emission limit values set out in Part 2 of Annex II. In that case, for plants firing solid fuels, an emission limit value for particulate matter dust of 100 mg/Nm³ shall apply.
Amendment 264 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 3 a (new)
Article 5 – paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. The emission limit values set out in Annex II shall not apply to medium combustion plants located in the Canary Islands, French Overseas Departments, the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores and to medium combustion plants being part of small and micro isolated systems as defined in Directive 2009/72/EC. Member States shall set emission limit values for those plants in order to reduce their emissions to air and the potential risks to human health and the environment.

Article 5 – paragraph 5 a (new)
Article 5 – paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Member States may exempt existing medium combustion plants from compliance with the limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex II and the monitoring and reporting requirements set out in Article 6 and Annex IV for 5 years from the applicable dates set out in Article 5(2) provided that the following conditions are fulfilled: (a) the operator of the combustion plant undertakes, in a written declaration submitted to the competent authority by 1 January 2024, not to operate the plant for more than 11000 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2025 and ending no later than 31 December 2029 for plants with a rated thermal input above 5 MW; (b) the operator is required to submit each year to the competent authority a record of the number of operating hours since the applicable dates set out in Article 5(2). Each Member State shall communicate to the Commission in the reports mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 12 a list of any combustion plants to which the first subparagraph of this paragraph applies, including their total rated thermal input and the fuel types used. For plants subject to the first subparagraph of this paragraph, Member States shall communicate annually to the Commission a record of the number of operating hours since 1 January 2025.

Article 5 – paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. Member States may exempt existing medium combustion plants with a rated thermal input of 5 MW or less from compliance with the limit values set out in Annex II and the monitoring and reporting requirements set out in Article 6 and Annex IV for 5 years from the applicable dates set out in Article 5(2) provided that the operator of the medium combustion plant undertakes, in a written declaration submitted to the competent authority by 1 January 2029, the operation of the plant will end no later than 31 December 2034.
