Appendix

Solvent management plan

Introduction

Principles

(a) Verification of compliance, as specified in the annex; and

(b) Identification of future reduction options.

Definitions

(a) Inputs of organic solvents:

. I1 The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparations purchased that are used as input into the process in the time frame over which the mass balance is being calculated;

. I2 The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparations recovered and reused as solvent input into the process. (The recycled solvent is counted every time it is used to carry out the activity.).

(b) Outputs of organic solvents:

. O1. Emission of VOCs in waste gases;

. O2. Organic solvents lost in water, if appropriate taking into account wastewater treatment when calculating O5;

. O3. The quantity of organic solvents that remains as contamination or residue in output of products from the process;

. O4. Uncaptured emissions of organic solvents to air. This includes the general ventilation of rooms, where air is released to the outside environment via windows, doors, vents and similar openings;

. O5. Organic solvents and/or organic compounds lost due to chemical or physical reactions (including, for example, those that are destroyed, e.g., by incineration or other waste-gas or wastewater, or captured, e.g., by adsorption, as long as they are not counted under O6, O7 or O8);

. O6. Organic solvents contained in collected waste;

. O7. Organic solvents, or organic solvents contained in preparations, that are sold or are intended to be sold as a commercially valuable product;

. O8. Organic solvents contained in preparations recovered for reuse but not as input into the process, as long as they are not counted under O7;

. O9. Organic solvents released in other ways.

Guidance on use of the solvent management plan for verification of compliance

(a) Verification of compliance with the reduction option mentioned in paragraph 6 (a) of the annex, with a total limit value expressed in solvent emissions per unit product, or as otherwise stated in the annex:

(i) For all activities using the reduction option mentioned in paragraph 6 (a) of the annex, the solvent management plan should be put into effect annually to determine consumption. Consumption can be calculated by means of the following equation:

C = I1 - O8

A parallel exercise should also be undertaken to determine solids used in coating in order to derive the annual reference emission and the target emission each year;

(ii) For assessing compliance with a total limit value expressed in solvent emissions per unit product or as otherwise stated in the annex, the solvent management plan should be put into effect annually to determine emission of VOCs. Emission of VOCs can be calculated by means of the following equation:

E = F + O1

Where F is the fugitive emission of VOC as defined in subparagraph (b) (i) below. The emission figure should be divided by the relevant product parameter;

(b) Determination of fugitive emission of VOCs for comparison with fugitive emission values in the annex:

(i) Methodology: The fugitive emission of VOC can be calculated by means of the following equation:

F = I1 - O1 - O5 - O6 - O7 - O8

or

F = O2 + O3 + O4 + O9

This quantity can be determined by direct measurement of the quantities. Alternatively, an equivalent calculation can be made by other means, for instance by using the capture efficiency of the process. The fugitive emission value is expressed as a proportion of the input, which can be calculated by means of the following equation:

I = I1 + I2;

(ii) Frequency: Fugitive emission of VOCs can be determined by a short but comprehensive set of measurements. This need not to be done again until the equipment is modified.

T. Annex VII

For annex VII there is substituted the following:

Timescales under article 3

(a) For new stationary sources, one year after the date of entry into force of the present Protocol for the Party in question; and

(a) For existing stationary sources, up to fifteen years after the date of entry into force of the present Protocol for the Party in question;

(b) For fuels and new mobile sources, up to five years after the date of entry into force of the present Protocol for the Party in question; and

(c) For VOCs in products, up to five years after the date of entry into force of the present Protocol for the Party in question.

Limit values for emissions of particulate matter from stationary sources

A. Parties other than Canada and the United States of America

(a) A Party may derogate from the obligation to comply with the ELVs provided for in paragraph 7 in the following cases:

(i) For combustion plants normally using gaseous fuel which have to resort exceptionally to the use of other fuels because of a sudden interruption in the supply of gas and for this reason would need to be equipped with a waste gas purification facility;

(ii) For existing combustion plants not operated more than 17,500 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2016 and ending no later than 31 December 2023.

(b) Where a combustion plant is extended by at least 50 MWth, the ELV specified in paragraph 7 for new installations shall apply to the extensional part affected by the change. The ELV is calculated as an average weighted by the actual thermal input for both the existing and the new part of the plant;

(c) Parties shall ensure that provisions are made for procedures relating to malfunction or breakdown of the abatement equipment;

(d) In the case of a multi-fuel firing combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the ELV shall be determined as the weighted average of the ELVs for the individual fuels, on the basis of the thermal input delivered by each fuel.

(6) The rated thermal input of the combustion plant is calculated as the sum of the input of all units connected to a common stack. Individual units below 15 MWth shall not be considered when calculating the total rated thermal input.

This paragraph is recommendatory in character and describes the measures that can be taken insofar as a Party considers them to be technically and economically feasible for the control of particulate matter:

(a) Residential combustion installations with a rated thermal input (menor que) 500 kWth:

(i) Emissions from new residential combustion stoves and boilers with a rated thermal input (menor que) 500 kWth can be reduced by the application of:

(aa) Product standards as described in CEN standards (e.g., EN 303-5) and equivalent product standards in the United States and Canada. Countries applying such product standards may define additional national requirements taking into account, in particular, the contribution of emissions of condensable organic compounds to the formation of ambient PM; or

(bb) Ecolabels specifying performance criteria that are typically stricter than the minimum efficiency requirements of the EN product standards or national regulations.

Reconhecendo também que o Canadá e os Estados Unidos da América estão a abordar a nível bilateral a poluição atmosférica transfronteiriça, no âmbito do Acordo Canadá - Estados Unidos sobre a Qualidade do Ar, que inclui compromissos mútuos com vista a reduzir as emissões de dióxido de enxofre, óxidos de azoto e compostos orgânicos voláteis, e que ambos os países estão a ponderar a inclusão de compromissos com vista a reduzir as emissões de partículas em suspensão,

Reconhecendo, além disso, que o Canadá está empenhado em alcançar reduções de dióxido de enxofre, óxidos de azoto, compostos orgânicos voláteis e partículas em suspensão com vista a cumprir as suas Normas Nacionais de Qualidade do Ar Ambiente aplicáveis ao ozono e às partículas em suspensão, e reconhecendo o objetivo nacional de reduzir a acidificação, e que os Estados Unidos estão empenhados na execução dos programas de redução das emissões de óxidos de azoto, dióxido de enxofre, compostos orgânicos voláteis e partículas em suspensão necessários ao cumprimento das suas normas nacionais de qualidade do ar ambiente aplicáveis ao ozono e às partículas em suspensão, bem como em progredir continuamente na redução dos efeitos da acidificação e da eutrofização e melhorar a visibilidade nos parques nacionais e nas zonas urbanas,

"Tendo em conta o conhecimento científico sobre o transporte hemisférico de poluentes atmosféricos, a influência do ciclo do azoto e as potenciais sinergias e compromissos entre a poluição do ar e as alterações climáticas,

Conscientes de que as emissões provenientes da navegação e da aviação apresentam efeitos adversos significativos na saúde humana e no ambiente e constituem importantes questões a ponderar pela Organização Marítima Internacional e a Organização Internacional da Aviação Civil,".
