Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed) (c. 601)

ANNEX IVU.K. Activity-specific monitoring methodologies related to installations (Article 20(2))

12. Manufacture of ceramic products as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC U.K.

B. Specific monitoring rules U.K.

Method B (Output based) U.K.

Tier 1

A conservative value of 0,123 tonnes of CaO (corresponding to 0,09642 tonnes of CO₂) per tonne of product shall be applied for the calculation of the emission factor instead of the results of analyses.

Tier 2

An emission factor shall be derived and updated at least once per year using best industry practice reflecting site-specific conditions and the product mix of the installation.

Tier 3

The determination of the composition of the products shall be carried out in accordance with Articles 32 to 35.

By way of derogation from section 1 of this Annex, for the scrubbing of flue gases the following tier for the emission factor shall apply:

Tier 1

The operator shall apply the stoichiometric ratio of CaCO₃ as shown in section 2 of Annex VI.

For scrubbing, no other tier and no conversion factor shall be used. Double counting from used limestone recycled as raw material in the same installation shall be avoided.
