Abstract: | The EC Directive concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC Directive 96/61/EC) obliges all Member States
to make an integrated assessment of the impacts on the environment “as a whole”, as regards granting permission for and the
operation of environmentally relevant industrial installations. The determination of “Best Available Techniques” BAT plays
an essential role in the material transformation of the IPPC-Directive. An integrated approach for the assessment of cross-media
aspects of techniques for the determination of BAT is outlined in this paper, which is grounded on the basic concept of Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA), emphasising the need for decision support. The proposed assessment approach is applied to a case study
sinter production in an integrated iron and steel works, which forms the base for several recommendations concerning further
research. |
