Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 19 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 19 a (new)
(19a) 'net total fuel utilisation' means the ratio between produced energy (electricity, hot water, steam, mechanical energy) and fuel energy input (as the fuel lower heating value) at combustion plant boundaries.
Amendment 84 #
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 five 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 matter of 200 mg/Nm³ shall apply.
Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3 a (new)
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3 a (new)
Until 1 January 2030 existing medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input above 5 MW may be exempted from compliance with the emission limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex II provided that at least 50% of the useful heat production of the plant, as a rolling average over a period of 5 years, is delivered in the form of steam or hot water to a public network for district heating, or provided that the net total fuel utilisation of the plant is at least 80%, as a rolling average over a period of 5 years.
Amendment 99 #
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 of 100 mg/Nm³ shall apply.

Article 5 a (new)
Article 5a End of lifetime 1. Member States may exempt existing medium combustion plants 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 with a rated thermal input of 5 MW or less 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, and the operator of the medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input above 5 MW undertakes, in a written declaration submitted to the competent authority by 1 January 2024, the operation of the plant will end no later than 31 December 2029. 2. Within 1 year after the end of operation of the medium combustion plant according to the written declaration referred to in paragraph 1 the competent authority shall perform an inspection. 3. If the medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input of 5 MW or less is still in operation after 31 December 2034, or the medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input above 5MW is still in operation after 31 December 2029, it shall be considered as a new plant.
