SCI’s : a complex realitySCI’s : a complex reality

Definition: all installations not covered by LCP and IPPC

directive meaning all installations < 50MW not regulated at

EU level

Includes different:

Sectors: residential, commercial, industrial

Technologies/Fuels: gas, oil, coal, wood..

Country specific situations

According to preliminary baseline, SCI’s = important

source of emission


Actions in CAFEActions in CAFE

1. Development of the baseline: IIASA

2. JRC research: improvement in the knowledge of emission

factors: analysis of the emissions of different combination

of fuel/technologies

3. Emerging technology in industry: contract with

IFARE/UBA Austria, covers industrial SCI’s

4. City Delta: relative importance of SCI’s emission in urban

zones

5. Specific contract: AEAT - “ Cost and environmental

effectiveness of reducing air pollution for SCI’s”

Task 1: Emission inventory

Objective:Objective: Compare emissions with other sectors, identify the main contributor in the sector

“Measure oriented“ – not academic

Method:Method: C Comparison of existing inventories, additional expert consultations

Expected output:Expected output:Analyse of past and projected emissions, priority order

for action in sub-sectors


Task 2: Existing and planned measures

Objective:Objective: Make an inventory of existing and planned

measures and analyse/compare their effectiveness

Method:Method: Literature review, stakeholder/expert consultation, , analysis of emission trends

Expected output:Expected output: Typology of measures, associated costs and emission reduction, identification of effective measures


Task 3: Emerging Technologies

Objective:Objective: Description of new and emerging technologies (non industrial) and analyse their potential development

Method:Method: Basis: RAINS/EGTEI, stakeholder/expert consultation-opinion, literature review

Expected output:Expected output: Inventory of emerging technologies, associated costs and emission reduction potential, assessment of penetration


Task 4: Feasibility of measures

Objective:Objective: Development of practical policy

options/measures to reduce emissions from SCI’s

Method:Method: Identification with Commission of most

promising measures, in depth assessment of

costs/effectiveness and feasibility

Expected output:Expected output: List of measure to be considered in the

thematic strategy

Preliminary conclusions from Preliminary conclusions from projections/inventoriesprojections/inventories

PM10 and PM2.5: Residential biomass and solid fuel burning

are the main contributors, significant proportion of the

national totals. PM from solid fuel will decrease in the

future contrary to biomass

SO2: Residential combustion of liquid fuels and solid fuels

and commercial/institutional liquid fuel are the main SO2

sources. Strong decrease expected in the future, main

drivers: S contents legislation, decrease of solid fuel use


Preliminary conclusions from Preliminary conclusions from projections/inventoriesprojections/inventories

NOx: Residential and commercial natural gas use significant

source as well as use of light fuel oil. No significant

reduction expected in the future due to increase use of gas

and fewer abatement techniques available

NH3: Residential biomass and solid fuel burning are main

sources but contribution to national total is relatively small

NMVOCs: Residential biomass and solid fuels dominates as

non-industrial SCI emission sources of NMVOCs. Similar

evolution expected then PM due to biomass


Potential measures: Potential measures: First ideasFirst ideas

Final measures will depend on cost/benefits, feasibility, Final measures will depend on cost/benefits, feasibility,

subsidiarity…. subsidiarity….

Extension of the scope of existing EU legislation: IPPC with

development of new BREF’s, and/or LCP below 50 MW

Ban on use of certain types of fuels in most “sensitive”

areas (cities, industrial hot-spots)

Specific programmes in the structural funds helping for

fuel switching and energy efficiency


Potential measures: Potential measures: First ideasFirst ideas

Use of economic instruments (e.g. Acid Rains programmes

in the US up to 25 MW, EU CC emission trading up to 20

MW)

New product standards for new boilers under the new

directive on energy efficiency and/or new labelling policies

New maintenance/inspection obligations

New fuel standards
