Best Available Techniques as Environmental Design in Industrial Licensing and Inspection for Pollution Abatement in Italy

Abstract

This paper describes new issues and opportunities in terms of pollution prevention, abatement and reduction from IED/IPPC activities by the adoption and the implementation of IED/IPPC Permits released in Italy at national level, following the Italian Decree n. 46 issued 4th of March 2014, ‘Industrial Emissions Directive’ (IED) issued in 2010 by the European Union Commission aiming at the adoption of new regulations for IPPC Permits.The Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU (IED) is the main EU instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial installations, in order to achieve a high level of protection of human health and the environment by reducing harmful industrial emissions in particular through better application of Best Available Techniques (BAT). In Italy, around 170 installations, under taking the industrial activities listed in Annex I of the IED, are required to operate in accordance with a permit that contains conditions set in accordance with the principles and provisions of the IED. Particularly, new applications of BAT are available in order to achieve a high level of protection of the environmental matrices, such as reducing industrial pollutant emissions, in terms of abatement of the pollutant concentrations at the sources of emission and by means of advanced monitoring and control activities, both in designing new industrial plants and renewing old ones.
