GZS: The bill on incinerators and waste co-incineration plants undermines the common European approach
By focusing solely on emissions v air from some draft laws made in the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (GZS) establishes a partial view of the environment.
As they pointed out v press release, a bill with a lack of professional and technical insight v the area it wishes to regulate, waste incineration and co-incineration plants v It brings to Slovenia v potential non-compliance with agreed technology criteria that are expertly defined and agreed at European Union level and for all v the whole of Europe is the same.
According to the explanations of the chambers, the emission limit values are possible v industry-specific doses using best available techniques are determined through “Seville process”, which is a special protocol for collecting data on and with the technologies used related emission values, on the basis of which BAT reference documents are prepared, BAT. The said protocol also sets out procedures for ensuring and verifying the quality of the data collected.
These reference documents BAT they can, as is pronounced at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, cover hundreds of pages for a given panel. In their creation, through the exchange of information through a specially designed forum, the participating Member States, the industries concerned, environmental NGOs, and the European Commission. At the same time, these stakeholders also control the process.
Conclusions Fr. BAT for incinerators were officially announced in November 2019 and they need all existing such devices v To be adapted to Europe by November 2023 at the latest. “Emission limit values, with a comprehensive view of the environment for incineration and certain types of co-suckers, shall be determined professionally and technically on the basis of best available techniques. v Europe, “ so clear on the Chamber of Commerce.
They are convinced that the bill they have drafted v Left, on waste incineration plants and waste co-incineration plants, introduce a partial insight into such plants and deviate from common European legislation, which has proven to be effective and v The EU has been subject to certain industrial installations for 35 years.
Salonit Anhovo: It’s not v in accordance with European legislation
Salonit Anhovo agrees with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Further reduction of emission limit values for cement plants can, in their opinion, be carried out only in accordance with uniform European legislation and v within reasonable time. “Lower the limit values as described v the bill is not in line with European legislation, sets unrealistic deadlines for the introduction of updates and sets the Slovenian cement industry v unequal position in relation to the position of these industries v other European countries, “ so write it down v press release.
“This kind of tightening of conditions does not make sense, because we are v the only Slovenian cement plant already on the way to the introduction of the latest technology of the next generation, which, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint, will also mean reducing emission parameters, “ stressed a board member Tomaž Vuk. “If we had to have permissions today, we could run the first set of updates v two years, “ he added. Cement factory Anhovo recently announced a cycle investments v worth € 40 million by 2025, which is expected to lead to a 15% reduction in the carbon footprint and more than the preconditions for nitrogen oxide emissions.
Left: GZS misleads
Among other things, the Left Party accused the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of divisions. “European directive, which regulates the areas of incinerators and waste co-incineration plants, sets only minimum limits on the levels of emissions of harmful dreams v air, while allowing countries to set stricter standards in environmental protection, “ therefore emphasized v press release. They asserted that the draft law on incinerators and waste co-incineration plants, which they prepared, takes into account the specifics of the Slovenian environment, but eliminates “the problem of current arrangements allowing higher emissions v co-incinerators as v incinerators “.
Proposal “especially addressed environmental and medically affected areas v Anhovem and surrounding places », so stressed. In this way, the Left wants to ensure the same right to a healthy environment for all the inhabitants of Slovenia.
