Report an emission-related change at a medium-sized combustion, gas turbine, or internal combustion engine facility

Do you want to make a change to a medium-sized combustion, gas turbine, or internal combustion engine facility that affects emissions? If so, you must notify the competent air pollution control authority.

  • Basic information

    If you wish to make an emission-related modification to a medium-sized combustion, gas turbine, or internal combustion engine facility, 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 authority of the planned commissioning if the combined thermal output exceeds 1 MW but is less than 50 MW.

    The authority responsible for your case will then enter the information you provide into a facility registry that is publicly accessible.
