Exchange of practical experience with the implementation of the VOC Solvent Emissions Directive 1999/13/EC Stakeholder workshop, day 2 Brussels, 18th June 2010
Day 2 Agenda • Plenary Session 3: 9:30 – 10:45 • Experiences with reduction scheme: Dutch and Italian perspectives (relocate to Beaulieu 5 for coffee) • Parallel breakout sessions E, F: 11:15 – 13:00 (lunch at Beaulieu 5) • Plenary Session 4: 14:30 – 16:00 (NB: in BU 5 room 0C) • Rapporteur feedback and discussion • Wrap-up: conclusions, participant feedback • Look ahead
Breakout session E: Simplification options - dry cleaning and the reduction scheme • dry cleaning: • simple activity with numerous installations – a simplified approach would be useful; • difficulties in calculating mass-balance due to solvent recovery; • difficult for authorities to check quantity of dry cleaned clothes; • difficult to determine VOC content in waste (O6); • reduction scheme: • perceived complexity in authorising and applying the scheme means some authorities prefer to apply ELVs to installations; • it takes authorities a lot of time to understand how to check operators are complying with the reduction scheme.
Breakout session F: determining equivalence of emission reductions under the reduction scheme (other than coating) • Can a reduction scheme be applied for activities other than coating and, if so, how should such a scheme be developed? • It is difficult to demonstrate / assess that the emission reductions achieved under a reduction scheme are at least equivalent to the emission reductions that would have occurred had emission limit values (ELVs) been applied. • Operators have few possibilities to verify in real-time if they are compliant or not.
