Quality Of Products

In 2016 4.94 million tonnes of tyres were produced. Each tyre eventually become waste and pyrolysis has been considered an effective way of utilizing scrap tyres for several decades. However, pyrolysis has failed many times because the process has a great energy demand and the quality of products is unstable or insufficient for commercial use. Usually plants are focused on the production of pyrolytic oil or char and the gaseous phase is only a by-product. In this paper the importance of composition and quality of pyrolytic gas is emphasized. The main chemical properties make this gas a valuable biofuel that may satisfy energy requirements of the whole process (except for the start-up phase). Available data from literature concerning composition and other features of the pyrolytic gas from scrap tyres obtained at temperatures up to 1000 °C are compared with experimental results. The quality of evolved gases is discussed in the context of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), too. Finally, an analysis of the mass balances obtained allows a decision about the business profile and profitability.

scholarly journals Impacts of New EU and Czech Environmental Legislation on Heat and Electricity Prices of Combined Heat and Power Sources in the Czech Republic

The Impact

In my economic model I calculate the impact of the new EU ETS Directive, the Industrial Emissions Directive and the new air protection law on future heat and electricity prices for combined heat and power sources. I discover that there will be a significant increase in heat and electricity prices, especially because of the implementation of new so-called benchmark tools for allocating allowances. The main problem of large heat producers in this respect is loss of competitiveness on the heat market due to emerging stricter environmental legislation, which is not applied to competitors on the heat market (smaller heat sources). There is also lack of clarity about the modalities for allocating free allowances, and about the future development of the whole carbon market (the future European allowance price).

LABURPENA: Industria-isurien Zuzentarauaren helburua da teknikarik onenei buruzko klausulak presentzia eta aplikazio praktiko handiagoa izatea Europar Batasun osoan. Horretarako, bere esanahia eta esparrua argitu da. Are gehiago, teknikarik onenak juridifikatu egin dira, eta Betearazte Erabaki moduan arautu dira teknikarik onenei buruzko ondorioak. Hori aurrerapauso handia da, eta horren lege- eta ingurumen-mailako ondorio nagusiak jorratzen dira lan honetan. RESUMEN: La Directiva de emisiones industriales aspira a que la cláusula de las mejores técnicas disponibles goce de una mayor presencia y aplicación práctica en el conjunto de la Unión Europea. Para ello no sólo se ha provocado una depuración conceptual de su significado clarificando su sentido y alcance. Más importante aún, las mejores técnicas disponibles se han juridificado alumbrándose, en estrictos términos normativos, en forma de Decisión de Ejecución comprensiva de las conclusiones relativas a las mejores técnicas disponibles. Esta nueva realidad supone un importante paso hacia adelante cuyas consecuencias jurídicas y ambientales más destacadas son abordadas en este trabajo. ABSTRACT: The industrial emissions Directive aims to the clause of the best available techniques to have a greater presence and practical application in the whole of the European Union. This not only occurred by a conceptual meaning purification through clarifying its meaning and scope. Most important, the best available techniques have been legalized, formalizing, in strict legal terms, in the form of Implementing Decision that it brings together the best available techniques conclusions. This new reality is an important step forward whose legal and environmental implications are addressed in this study.

Transitional National Plan derogations for Large Combustion Plants under the Industrial Emissions Directive: EEB legal challenge

The Industrial Emissions Directive (IPPC Recast) 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 has the objective to “lay down rules designed to prevent, or where this is not practicable, to reduce emissions into air, water and land and to prevent the generation of waste, in order to achieve a high level of protection of the environment taken as a whole.” (Article 1) setting out the so-called “integrated approach” to prevent negative impacts on all environmental media due to a certain industrial activity. This article illuminates shortcomings of the Industrial Emissions Directive as regards transparency in the elaboration and evaluation of certain derogations for large combustion plants. The focus lies on an EEB action concerning a Greek derogation approval decision of the European Commission, which the NGO has since contested before the General Court on 18 June 2014.

Under Construction

Despite diverse pledges on climate change and plans to render the energy supply 100 percent renewable, in October 2012 there were eight coal-fired power stations under construction in Germany with a combined capacity of 8,600 MW and combined projected emissions of nearly 50 million tonnes of CO2. Coal-fired power stations emit not just climate-damaging CO2, but many other pollutants besides. The most relevant of these to human health is mercury. In this article, therefore, it is asked what instruments are available under prevailing law to prohibit the construction of new coal-fired power stations and to make their approval subject to judicial review. The discussion centers on the Water Framework Directive. First, however, a look is taken at the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), with the focus on airborne and waterborne mercury emissions.
