Air pollution from electricity-generating large combustion plants
EEA Technical report No 4/2008

Released: 2008/05/05: See the report

An assessment of the theoretical emission reduction of SO2 and NOx through implementation of BAT as set in the BREFs

Abstract:
This report presents an assessment of the theoretical potential to reduce air emissions of SO2 and NOX had best available techniques (BAT) been fully introduced in a set of electricity-generating large combustion plants (LCP) within the European Union (EU-25) in 2004. Emissions of NOX and SO2 could have been significantly reduced had BAT, as described in the LCP best available techniques reference document (LCP BREF), been implemented at these facilities.

Prepared by: European Environment Agency's European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC): Authors of the report were Tinus Pulles and Wilfred Appelman (TNO).
