Proposals for an EU BREF Process fit for the 2050 goals of climate neutrality, zero pollution and circular economy

The updated EU framework on industrial emissions is paving the way for the much-needed transformation of industry towards the EU 2050 goals of climate neutrality, zero-pollution, and circular economy. The process of developing the EU Best Available Techniques reference documents, that form the basis for the environmental permitting of the biggest industrial installations, should be adapted accordingly. The development of the Best Available Techniques conclusions, especially the principles and methodology for the BAT determination, need to be fit for delivering on the transformation.
