4. European Emissions Regulatory Framework
Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC)
• Allows the Commission to set requirements for environmental performance of energy-
related products
• Requirements have to be met in order to place a product on the market
• Requirements are harmonised across the EU

7. European Emissions Regulatory Framework
• Allows the Commission to specify a mandatory energy label for
energy-related products
• The label shows energy efficiency in the use phase
• Use of other essential resources/ information during use also shown
• Manufacturers have to supply the label; dealers have to show it

Energy Labelling Directive (2010/30/EU)
8. European Emissions Regulatory Framework
Label solid fuel boilers
• Same label as for other space heaters
(Regulation 811/2013)
• ≤ 70 kW rated heat output
• A++ to G from 1 April 2017
• A+++ to D from 25 Sept 2019
• Package label
• Biomass condensing boilers reach class A++

9. European Emissions Regulatory Framework
Local space heaters
• One label for gas, liquid and solid fuel local space heaters

• For flueless or open to chimney solid fuel heaters from 1 Jan
2022

situated in zones where according to assessments under Directive 2008/50/EC conformity with
the limit values of that Directive is ensured, may be exempted from compliance with the dust
emission limit values set in Annex II. The emission limit values set by competent authorities shall not
exceed 150 mg/Nm³ for dust.

Editor's Notes
Energy efficiency, rated heat output, water heating function, electricity generation functiun (for cogeneration boilers)
Indication of wheter a solar collector, hot water storage, temperature control, supplementary heater may be included
BLF (Biomass Label factor) is 1,45 for biomass and 1 for fossil – political factor
Energy efficiency, direct and indirect heat output
Enforcement
Market surveillance is the role of national authorities, it includes:
Inspecting technical documentation
Product testing
Inspection of labels in shops/internet
Random and/or risk based sampling
Cross-border cooperation (through the Administrative Cooperation Group – ADCO – and EU-funded joint actions)
The file will be voted in October I session (5-8 october). After that the Council of Ministers will have to adopt the text. There is no date for the adoption in the Council but it should happen before December, I think.
Challenge for small existing plants: only ESP and filters can be used
Size:
Below 15 MW, 80% of the biomass installations are equipped with ESP (because combustion is less stable and unfinished combustion would deteriorate the bags of filters)
&gt;15MW more stable combustion bag filters
But bag filters can be used for all sizes.
Principle:
Multicyclone: separates particles by centrifugal force - Multicyclone, reduction vary significantly (100-300) depending on the combustion conditions and fuel properties at the moment of measurement
ESP: same principle than cyclone but by electrically charging the particles so that particles stick to the walls of the precipitator
Filters: directing flue gases through a filter bag (cost approx same as ESP but maintaniance cost is higher – need to change the bags every 2-4 years
Scrubber: particle separation are based on water drop injection to the flue gas stream. Particles are mixed into the water circulating in the scrubber
With agreement, cost of ESP or fabric filter expensive
Small installations around 20% total cost
Large installations around 10% total cost
Challenge of retrofitting!
