5.8 Composting of bio-waste (climate change mitigation)

Kurzbeschreibung

Construction and operation of dedicated facilities for the treatment of separately collected bio-waste ( 218 ) through composting (aerobic digestion) with the resulting production and utilisation of compost. The economic activities in this category could be associated with several NACE codes, in particular E38.21 and F42.99 in accordance with the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006.

Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation 1. The bio-waste that is composted is source segregated and collected separately. 2. The compost produced is used as fertiliser or soil improver and meets the requirements for fertilising materials set out in Component Material Category 3 in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 or national rules on fertilisers or soil improvers for agricultural use. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. _____________ ( 217 ) Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1147. ( 218 ) As defined in Article 3, point 4, of Directive 2008/98/EC. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources N/A (4) Transition to a circular economy N/A (5) Pollution prevention and control For composting plants treating over 75 tonnes per day, emissions to air and water are within or lower than the emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AEL) ranges set out for aerobic treatment of waste in the latest relevant best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, including the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for waste treat­ ment ( 219 ). No significant cross-media effects occur. The site has a system in place that prevents leachate reaching groundwater. The compost produced meets the requirements for fertilising materials set out in Component Material Category 3 in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 or national rules on fertilisers or soil improvers for agricultural use. (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix D to this Annex.
