'Set strict emission limits for power plants

摘要

It is now up to the member states to set ambitious emission standards for large combustion plants,in line with the strictest recommended air pollution limit values.A recent analysis by the European Environment Agency(EEA)shows that applying strict but realistic emission limits for the power sector could cut emissions of key air pollutants by 79-91 per cent by 2030.Adopted in July 2017,the new EU air pollution standards are set out in a reference document for best available techniques(BREF)for large combustion plants under the 2010 Industrial Emissions Directive(IED).
