Display the commissioning of a medium-sized combustion, gas turbine, and internal combustion engine plant
Are you planning to commission a medium-sized combustion plant, gas turbine, or internal combustion engine facility? If so, you must notify the relevant air pollution control authority.
-
Basic information
If you plan to commission a specific medium-sized combustion plant, gas turbine, or internal combustion engine, you must first notify the competent air pollution control authority.
The notification requirement generally applies to all combustion plants—whether or not they require a permit—with a thermal capacity of at least 1 MW and less than 50 MW.
For aggregated combustion plants, you must notify the authorities of the planned commissioning if the combined thermal output exceeds 1 MW and is less than 50 MW.
The information you provide will then be entered by the competent authority into a plant registry that is publicly accessible.
