ANNEX

INFORMATION ON MEDIUM COMBUSTION PLANTS COVERED BY DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/2193

Note . The obligation to supply the information required by January 2021 predates the need for existing Medium Combustion Plants to be permitted or registered. In view of this, when completing the report Member States will need to rely on data that they have available at that time. In cases where they do not have data available they shall complete the report using their best estimates. For these reasons a distinction is made between new and existing plants and plants above and below 20MWth.

PART 1

Plant categories

This table provides the plant categories to be used for providing the information required under parts 2 and 3  ( 1 ) .

1.1. New or existing

As defined under Article 3(6) and (7) of Directive (EU) 2015/2193

1.2. Capacity classes (rated thermal input)  ( 2 )

—

equal to or greater than 1 MWth and less than or equal to 5 MWth

—

greater than 5 MWth and less than or equal to 20 MWth

—

greater than 20 MWth

1.3. Plant types

—

other than engines and gas turbines

—

engines

—

gas turbines

1.4. Fuel types

—

solid biomass

—

other solid fuels

—

gas oil

—

liquid fuels other than gas oil

—

natural gas

—

gaseous fuels other than natural gas

—

mixed fuel

PART 2

Metadata

2.1. Country

Identification of the country submitting the report

2.2. Competent Authority

Identification of the competent authority responsible for the report (department, address, phone number and email)

2.3. Number of plants

Number of plants for each plant category

2.4. Reporting year

Calendar year to which the reporting refers  ( 3 )

PART 3

Emissions, energy input and capacity

3.1. CO concentrations

Estimated average concentration of carbon monoxide expressed in mg/Nm 3 at the reference oxygen level used to express ELVs of the regulated pollutant and dry air for each plant category

3.2. CO emissions

Estimated emissions of carbon monoxide expressed as the total quantity in tonnes per calendar year discharged by plants for each plant category

3.3. Energy input

Estimated total fuel used by the plants expressed in Tera Joules per year for each plant category

3.4. Total aggregated capacity

Estimated total installed capacity expressed as the sum of the rated thermal input of all the plants for each plant category

( 1 )   Example of category: New boilers greater than 5 MWth and less than or equal to 20 MWth combusting liquid fuels other than gas oil.

( 2 )   For new medium combustion plants, the total rated thermal input may be used.

( 3 )   Preferably 2019. If not possible, 2018.
