Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control in Large Industrial Installations on the Basis of Best Available Techniques - The Sevilla Process
2009
SCHOENBERGER Harald
With respect to emissions from industry, the IPPC Directive is one of the key instruments of the environmental legislation of the European Union. The purpose of this Directive is to achieve integrated pollution prevention and control from large industrial installations. The conditions of required permits have to be based on Best Available Techniques (BAT). In 1997, the so-called Sevilla Process was established to develop these BAT. Since then, 33 Best Available Techniques REFerence Techniques Documents (BREFs) were drafted, adopted and published. This Sevilla Process with its actors is described. The BREFs are unique documents containing very ambitious consumption and emission levels which cannot be found anywhere else.
