Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation The activity manufactures one of the following: (a) grey cement clinker where the specific GHG emissions ( 99 ) are lower than 0,722 ( 100 ) tCO 2 e per tonne of grey cement clinker; _____________ ( 99 ) Calculated in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 of 19 December 2018 determining transitional Union-wide rules for harmonised free allocation of emission allowances pursuant to Article 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 59, 27.2.2019, p. 8). ( 100 ) Reflecting the average value of the 10 % most efficient installations in 2016 and 2017 (t CO 2 equivalents/t) as set out in the Annex to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447 of 12 March 2021 determining revised benchmark values for free allocation of emission allowances for the period from 2021 to 2025 pursuant to Article 10a(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, (OJ L 87, 15.3.2021, p. 29). (b) cement from grey clinker or alternative hydraulic binder, where the specific GHG emissions ( 101 ) from the clinker and cement or alternative binder production are lower than 0,469 ( 102 ) tCO 2 e per tonne of cement or alternative binder manufactured. Where CO 2 that would otherwise be emitted from the manufacturing process is captured for the purpose of underground storage, the CO 2 is transported and stored underground, in accordance with the technical screening criteria set out in Sections 5.11 and 5.12 of this Annex. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix B to this Annex. (4) Transition to a circular economy N/A (5) Pollution prevention and control The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix C to this Annex. Emissions are within or lower than the emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AEL) ranges set out in the latest relevant best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, including the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for the production of cement, lime and magnesium oxide ( 103 ). No significant cross-media effects occur ( 104 ). For manufacture of cement employing hazardous wastes as alternative fuels, measures are in place to ensure the safe handling of waste. (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix D to this Annex.
