  1. VOC emissions from solvents under the futureIndustrial Emissions DirectiveVOC workshop18 June 2010

  2. Content of the presentation • Industrial Emissions Directive  why/what? • Implications for VOC/solvents legislation? • Next steps (implementation)

  3. The current regulatory framework VOC emissions from stationary sources • NEC Directive • IPPC Directive • Solvent Emissions Directive Other relevant EU legislation • Deco Paints Dir • Stage I/II petrol vapour recovery • European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR)

  4. Situation under NEC Directive (2010) Data as of Feb 2010 VOC 10% below sum MS ceilings (Annex I) 5% above EU ceiling(Annex II)

  5. IPPC ReviewMain concerns with the status quo • Insufficient implementation of Best Available Techniques (BAT) • Limitations with regard to compliance enforcement and environmental improvements • Unnecessary administrative burdens due to complexity and inconsistency of parts of legal framework • Insufficient scope and unclear provisions to achieve the Thematic Strategy objectives (air, waste, soil) • Constraints on the use of more flexible instruments, such as NOx and SO2 emission trading systems

  6. Commission Proposal for an Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) • COM(2007) 844 final, 21 Dec 2007 (’’IPPC Recast’’) • Recasts into one single act the IPPC Directive and 6 other ‘sectoral’ Directives, incl. SED • Key IPPC principles are kept • Revised sectoral ’’minimum’’ requirements • Main changes • strengthening of BAT implementation • Stronger role of BREFs and BAT AELs in them • Clearer provisions on permit reconsideration and inspections • stricter EU wide emission limit values for LCPs

  7. Structure of IED • Chapter I: Common provisions • Chapter II: Special provisions for activities listed in Annex I • Chapter III: Special provisions for combustion plants • Chapter IV: Special provisions for waste (co-)incineration plants • Chapter V: Special provisions for installations and activities using organic solvents Annex VII Part 1/2 • Chapter VI: Special provisions for installations producing TiO2 • Chapter VII: Committee, transitional and final provisions • Annexes I - VIII

  8. Ordinary legislative procedure(ex ‘co-decision’) • Council position at first reading: adopted on 15 Feb 2010 • Second reading in EP and Council: March – July 2010 • If agreement: adoption by end 2010 • Then… • entry into force: 2012 • application for existing installations: 2012-2016

  9. IED: BAT information exchange process Information exchange = as Sevilla process under IPPCD Forum = as IEF under IPPCD Outcome = BREF Part of which will become the“BAT conclusions” containing BAT AELs(associated emission levels) Adoption of BAT conclusionsby COM (all EU languages) taking into account opinion of the Forum Publication of complete BREF by COM

  10. IED: strengthening the role of BAT/ BREFs in the setting of permit conditions and ELVs BAT conclusions shall be the reference for setting the permit conditions Permits must contain emission limit values (ELVs) which ensure thatemissions do not exceed BAT AELs Derogation from BAT AELs is allowed in specific cases as long as it is justified(costs vs benefits in relation to criteria)

  11. IED: changes related to solvent VOC emissions Chapter V/Annex VII  SED • Horizontal provisions moved to Ch. I where possible • definitions (installation, VOC, organic solvent, …) • permit/registration • Some adaptations and minor changes • No changes in emission limit values / emission factors • Few substantive changes • Substitution of hazardous substances: terminology • National Plans option  deleted • Implementation reporting  streamlined • Possible future changes to parts 5-6-7-8 of Annex VII (BAT)

  12. IED: other relevant changes • Permit reconsideration • linked to adoption of BAT conclusions • Soil • baseline report • site closure: back to baseline and no significant risk • Inspections [for “IPPC” activities] • plans and programmes • risk based approach, with frequency to be set for site visits • Transparency • making information public, incl. on internet • Scope • few activities added (some waste related)

  14. Ordinary legislative procedure(ex ‘co-decision’) • Council position at first reading: adopted on 15 Feb 2010 • Second reading in EP and Council: March – June 2010 • If agreement: adoption by end 2010 • Then… • entry into force: 2012 • application for existing installations and repeal of Solvent Emissions Directive: end 2013
