Reported data on large combustion plants covered by Directive 2001/80/EC

European data
Plant-by-plant emissions (LCP) and information on derogations
This database contains information on size, combustion technology, energy input, annual emissions (SO2, NOx and dust) and operation under specific derogatory regimes of combustion plants that fall under the scope of Directive 2001/80/EC. Although the reporting requirements were set to start as from 2004, it is possible that the data for the first reported period 2004-2006 contain some gaps. The database however keeps them accessible for transparency reasons.

Additional information
The database covers plant-by-plant LCP data for 2004 onwards. The last reporting year available is 2013. The plant-by-plant data includes total annual emissions of SO2, NOx and dust (as total suspended particles) and the total annual amount of energy input, related to the net calorific value, broken down in terms of five categories of fuel: biomass, other solid fuels, liquid fuels, natural gas, other gases.
Derogatory regimes
Directive 2001/80/EC provided a number of derogatory regimes, namely the following:
- Opt-outs: plants declared for eligibility under article 4(4) of the LCP Directive along with the record of the used and unused time allowed for the plants remaining operational life
- Article 5 or the provisions of the Nota Bene in Annex III or the footnotes in Annex VI.A of the LCP Directive (Article 15(3))
- Implementation of a National Emissions Reduction Plan (NERP) according to Article 4(6) of the LCP Directive
The database includes information on the matter updated up until 2013 reporting year.
More information about the LCP Directive is available on the DG Environment web site at http://ec.europa.eu/environment/industry/stationary/lcp/legislation.htm and http://ec.europa.eu/environment/industry/stationary/lcp/implementation.htm
Previous versions of the data set can be found at Plant-by-plant emissions of SO2, NOx and dust and energy input of large combustion plants covered by Directive 2001/80/EC and Large Combustion Plants (LCP) opted out under Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC
