EC approves UK 'hybrid approach' to power plant emissions

London (Platts)--21Sep2005

The European Commission has approved the UK's plan to adapt a hybrid
approach to the Large Combustion Plant Directive, the UK's Department for the
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said Wednesday.

Under the proposal, emissions from manufacturing and refineries will be controlled

through national emissions reduction plans and emission limit values will be used to
control emissions from the energy supply industry. However, the EC is still
looking at a number of other issues relating to the coverage of the directive,
in particular the definition of a power plant. The UK is in talks wth the EC
on the matter, Defra said.
