The reference installation approach for the techno-economic assessment of emission abatement options and the determination of bat according to the IPPC-directive

Abstract Within the framework of the realisation of the IPPC-Directive, the techniques and the possible abatement options have to be characterised on a process level with regard to environmental benefits, technical practicability and especially economic feasibility. Therefore, the reference installation approach, which has been developed within the preparation framework of the new “multi-pollutant and multi-effects” protocol of the UN/ECE and which follows the CORINAIR nomenclature, is being proposed as an approach for the comprehensive assessment of technological and economic properties of relevant base processes and emission reduction options/techniques. This paper puts up for discussion the use of this concept within the proposed cross-media assessment approach for the determination of BAT (Best Available Techniques).
