Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation GHG emissions ( 136 ) from the organic basic chemicals production processes are lower than: (a) for HVC: 0,693 ( 137 ) tCO 2 e/t of HVC; (b) for aromatics: 0,0072 ( 138 ) tCO 2 e/t of complex weighted throughput; (c) for vinyl chloride: 0,171 ( 139 ) tCO 2 e/t of vinyl chloride; (d) for styrene: 0,419 ( 140 ) tCO 2 e/t of styrene; (e) for ethylene oxide/ethylene glycols: 0,314 ( 141 ) tCO 2 e/t of ethylene oxide/glycol; (f) for adipic acid: 0,32 ( 142 ) tCO 2 e /t of adipic acid. Where the organic chemicals in scope are produced wholly or partially from renewable feedstock, the life-cycle GHG emissions of the manufactured chemical, manufactured wholly or partially from renewable feedstock, are lower than the life-cycle GHG emissions of the equivalent chemical manufactured from fossil fuel feedstock. Life-cycle GHG emissions are calculated using Recommendation 2013/179/EU or, alternatively, using ISO 14067:2018 ( 143 ) or ISO 14064-1:2018 ( 144 ). Quantified life-cycle GHG emissions are verified by an independent third party. Agricultural biomass used for the manufacture of organic basic chemicals complies with the criteria laid down in Article 29, paragraphs 2 to 5 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. Forest biomass used for the manufacture of organic basic chemicals complies with the criteria laid down in Article 29, paragraphs 6 and 7 of that Directive.
