Zusammenfassung englisch

Emission measurements of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, total organic carbon, methane, and (for oil-firing plants) the smoke number were carried out at 100 medium combustion plants with a rated thermal input between 1 MW and 10 MW. For Germany, emission factors and the emissions in 2020 were calculated, the emissions in 2030 werde estimated in two scenarios. Additionally, best available techniques for emission reduction were determined. For this purpose, regulations for oil- and gas-firing medium combustion plants in six European countries were evaluated.
