9 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
Stationary engines:
Table 4 Limit values for NOx emissions released from new stationary engines
Engine type, power, fuel specification | ELV1) 2) 3) (mg/m3)
Gas engines > 1 MWth
Spark ignited (=Otto) engines all gaseous fuels | 95 (enhanced lean burn)
190 (Standard lean burn or rich burn with catalyst)
Dual fuel engines > 1 MWth
In gas mode (all gaseous fuels) In liquid mode (all liquid fuels)4) | 190
1–20 MWth | 225
>20 MWth | 225
Diesel engines > 5 MWth (compression ignition)
Slow (< 300 rpm)/ Medium (300-1,200 rpm)/ speed
5–20 MWth
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) and bio-oils | 225
Light Fuel Oil (LFO) and Natural Gas (NG) | 190
>20 MWth
HFO and bio-oils | 190
LFO and NG | 190
High speed (>1,200 rpm) | 190
1) These ELVs do not apply to engines running less than 500 hours a year.
2) Where Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) cannot currently be applied for technical and logistical reasons like on remote islands or where the availability of sufficient amounts of high quality fuel cannot be guaranteed, a transition period of 10 years after the entry into force of the present Protocol for a Party may be applied for diesel engines and dual fuel engines during which the following ELVs apply:
– Dual fuel engines: 1,850 mg/m3 in liquid mode; 380 mg/m3 in gas mode;
– Diesel engines – Slow (< 300 rpm) and Medium (300–1,200 rpm)/speed: 1,300 mg/m3 for engines between 5 and 20 MWth and 1,850 mg/m3 for engines > 20 MWth;
– Diesel engines – High speed (> 1,200 rpm): 750 mg/m3.
3) Engines running between 500 and 1,500 operational hours per year may be exempted from compliance with these ELVs in case they are applying primary measures to limit NOx emissions and meet the ELVs set out in footnote 2);
4) A Party may derogate from the obligation to comply with the emission limit values for combustion plants 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. The exception time period shall not exceed 10 days except where there it is an overriding need to maintain energy supplies.
Note: The reference oxygen content is 15%
3) The conversion factor from the limit values in the current Protocol (at 5% oxygen content) is 2,66 (16/6).
Thus, the limit value of:
– 190 mg/m3 at 15% O2 corresponds to 500 mg/m3 at 5% O2;
– 95 mg/m3 at 15% O2 corresponds to 250 mg/m3 at 5% O2;
– 225 mg/m3 at 15% O2 corresponds to 600 mg/m3 at 5% O2.
