Building a national BAT-based system

Below, you can find suggestions and methods on how to identify and establish BAT, BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) and other environmental performance levels (BAT-AEPLs), as well as BAT-based permit conditions, including emission limit values for your country. These approaches can be applied to both new and existing industries.

  1. Establish BAT in your national legislation
  2. Set up a multi-stakeholder Technical Working Group (TWG) for each industrial sector.
  3. The TWG determines emission levels (BAT-AELs) and other environmental performance levels associated with BAT (BAT-AEPLs) and document in BREFs for each sector.
  4. The TWG determines emission levels (BAT-AELs) and other environmental performance levels associated with BAT (BAT-AEPLs) documented and described in BREFs.
    1. The TWG should derive both concentrations and load based BAT-AELs and other BAT-AEPLs.
    2. The derived BAT and BAT-AE(P)Ls should be updated according to the most recent technological developments and environmental performance data from reference installations.
  • After BAT, BAT-AE(P)Ls are set, national, regional and/or local permitting authorities use the BAT and BAT-AE(P)Ls as a basis to determine emission limit values (ELVs) and other conditions in environmental permits for industrial installations.
