5 Protocol bij het Verdrag van 1979 betreffende grensoverschrijdende luchtverontreiniging over lange afstand inzake vermindering van verzuring, eutrofiëring en ozon op leefniveau

Parties other than Canada and the United States of America

The following subparagraphs set out special provisions for combustion plants referred to in paragraph 7:

a) A Party may derogate from the obligation to comply with the emission limit values provided for in paragraph 7 in the following cases:

(i) For a combustion plant which to this end normally uses low-sulphur fuel, in cases where the operator is unable to comply with those limit values because of an interruption in the supply of low-sulphur fuel resulting from a serious shortage;

(ii) For a combustion plant firing indigenous solid fuel, which cannot comply with the emission limit values provided for in paragraph 7, instead at least the following limit values for the rates of desulphurization have to be met:

aa) Existing plants: 50–100 MWth: 80%;

bb) Existing plants: 100–300 MWth: 90%;

cc) Existing plants: > 300 MWth: 95%;

dd) New plants: 50–300 MWth: 93%;

ee) New plants: > 300 MWth: 97%;

(iii) For combustion plants normally using gaseous fuel which have to resort exceptionally to the use of other fuels because of a sudden interruption in the supply of gas and for this reason would need to be equipped with a waste gas purification facility;

(iv) For existing combustion plants not operated more than 17,500 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2016 and ending no later than 31 December 2023;

(v) For existing combustion plants using solid or liquid fuels not operated more than 1,500 operating hours per year as a rolling average over a period of five years, instead the following ELVs apply:

aa) For solid fuels: 800 mg/m3;

bb) For liquid fuels: 850 mg/m3 for plants with a rated thermal input not exceeding 300 MWth and 400 mg/m3 for plants with a rated thermal input greater than 300 MWth;

b) Where a combustion plant is extended by at least 50 MWth, the ELV specified in paragraph 7 for new installations shall apply to the extensional part affected by the change. The ELV is calculated as an average weighted by the actual thermal input for both the existing and the new part of the plant;

c) Parties shall ensure that provisions are made for procedures relating to malfunction or breakdown of the abatement equipment;

d) In the case of a multi-fuel firing combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the ELV shall be determined as the weighted average of the ELVs for the individual fuels, on the basis of the thermal input delivered by each fuel.
