In 2015, Russia made first practical steps towards transition to Integrated Environmental Permitting (IEP) based on Best Available Techniques (BAT). The Government issued the list of industrial sectors and the minimum production capacity of installations to be regulated under the IEP regime. Glass and ceramic industries have been included in the national IEP list for which BATs have been identified and national Information and Technical Reference Books (ITRBs) developed. These sectors are not priority environmental polluters but they fall into the category of energy-intensive industries consuming from 2 to 50 GJ per tonne of product. Selecting glass and ceramic industries for the primary development of ITRBs, Russian authorities considered results of pilot projects implemented in these sectors in 2003-2013. Industries participated in these projects compared their energy efficiency and environmental performance to BAT parameters set in Europe. Since ITRBs had to be completed for just six months, data obtained earlier were rather helpful. Major difficulties faced by TWGs dealt with the reluctance of many operators (for brick production - over 80 %) to participate in the national benchmarking. Fortunately, leading industrial associations contributed a lot towards solving this problem: they provided the necessary data (collecting them from operators) and offered using industrial sites of several companies for practical studies and training exercises. Resulting ITRB "Glass Manufacturing Industry" is a concise document, covering production of flat, container, domestic glass as well as glass fibre and sodium silicate. "Ceramic Manufacturing Industry" ITRB is more detailed and covers practically all subsectors characteristic of Russia. Identified BATs and resource efficiency parameters are quite similar to those listed in the EU Reference Books. Environmental performance data are scarce; in each book CO, NOx, SO2 and particulate matter emission factors are presented only for 2-3 key sub-sectors. It is suggested that preparing recommendations on IEP procedure in Russia, industrial associations should run additional case studies and provide more reliable data on environmental performance. Current legislation allows reviewing and improving ITRBs as soon as new information on BATs becomes available to practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
