Projects - Energy Efficiency

In part 2 of the IMPEL project: “Energy Efficiency in Permitting and Inspection,” the project team consisting of 6 representatives from 5 IMPEL Member States and the consultant made an analysis of major changes from IPPC to Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), discussed the new BAT concept under IED and identified relevant IED provisions related to energy efficiency. They: -          identified the basic documents to be reviewed during the project, -          decided...

The main objectives of the project were:

• to explore how member states have implemented in practice the energy efficiency provisions of the IPPC directive and handle obstacles
• to identify how member states enforce their legal  requirements in this field
• to find out what kind of information is required in permit applications e.g. energy efficiency indicators
• to analyse how member states work with the BREF Energy Efficiency and information of other BREFs...

In the project the good practices were found in relation to the main objectives. Issues that were addressed are:

• Practical guidances to clarify and define energy efficiency.
• Information exchange between operator and authorities to create good permit applications.
• Concrete examples of more or less binding permit conditions.
• The use the BREFs
• Self-monitoring under the precondition that the inspector can influence the monitoring practices of the...
