Overview

  2 from installations - and 2 position
  papers/other written comments received
• Comments and suggestions on cross-cutting as well
  as technical issues, specifically on simplified
  provisions for small installations

4
Comments I

• Annex X was designed for fine ceramics and does
  not reflect the specifics of coarse ceramics
  production
• Accuracy is good, but needs to be balanced
  against cost-efficiency

5
Comments II

• Most installations emit below 25.000 t CO2-equ.
  per year. To allow for cost efficiency,
  provisions have to be simplified
• Simplify monitoring requirements
• Allow other means of quality assurance than EN
  ISO 17025 accreditation for labs
• No third party involvement reg. emission reports

6
Comments III

• Carbonate content of atomised clay mix is
  constant. Therefore use of fix emission factor
  per production unit for calculation should be
  introduced
• Calculation methods for process emissions do not
  include emissions from organic material in raw
  clay and additives used to induce porosity
