  1. Experience with Monitoring & Reporting in the EU-ETS12 May 2005 Glass Technical session VII Guy Tackels CPIV 89, Avenue Louise (Box2)B - 1050  Brussels Phone +32 2 538 44 46 Fax +32 2 537 84 69www.cpivglass.be

  2. European Glass Industry • Very diverse (Flat glass, Container, Special glass, Tableware, Fibreglass, etc…) • Size from 5.000 t CO2/year up to more 400.000 t/y for an installation • In France, on 50 installations, 30% are above 100.000 t/y and 40% are below 50.000 t/y • Glass quality is essential. This requires a very stable process, running continuously.

  3. Glass industry • Two main sources for CO2 : • Combustion : HFO and NG • Process emissions coming from the raw materials (carbonates decomposition) • Other sources are generally of minor importance : Diesel oil, SO2 scrubbing, … ( with sometime de minimis approach applicable)

  4. Carbonates Acid gases scrubbing CO2 Sales

  5. Main remarks about the questionnaire • Definition of a « Source », boundaries • Definition of « unreasonably high cost » • Difficult to comment a document not yet used in practice • In annex IX (Glass) Method B : alkali oxides is not recommended in practice • Tiers level not always easy to prove • Pragmatic attitude required from the verification body. Important to take into account verification costs

  6. Main remarks about the questionnaire • Continuous monitoring unrealistic • Do not add a new system when others are already existing (UK CCA, WBCSD/WRI adapted to glass industry, …) Discussion with industry will be helpful. • Level playing field : Same glass factory could be treated differently in different MS • Etc…

  7. CO2 monitoring in the glass industry • CO2 from combustion • CO2 from process : decomposition of carbonates from raw materials (mainly sodium carbonates, calcium carbonates and dolomite) What is the simplest solution? • For monitoring? • For verification?

  8. Some suggestions from the glass industry • The combustion products used on the site are mainly • Heavy fuel oil • Natural gas • The best and more accurate data are coming from the bills from the suppliers (including stock corrections) • For raw materials, same conclusion : the bills from the suppliers give the best accurate results

  9. Data used for commercial purpose are quite sufficient to monitor CO2 • Monitoring plan must be based on bills • Definition of the source must be clarified • No sub-metering required to monitor the total emission of an installation • The verification will be simplified and total cost will be kept at reasonable level

  10. A last suggestion… • Monitoring plans should be harmonised at EU level. • Why not to work on a single document • A calculation tool developed by the CPIV could be a good starting point. This tool was adapted from the WBCSD/WRI reporting system

  11. THANK YOU!
