Medium Combustion Plant Directive and Specifi ed Generator Regulations
The European Union’s Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD) entered into force in December 2015 and this was transposed into national legislation by 20 December 2017. The MCPD applies to existing individual Medium Combustion Plants (MCPs) in the net thermal input range 1 to <50 MWth and new aggregated plants above 1 MWth (provided that these do not qualify as a Large Combustion Plant under the Industrial Emissions Directive).
Most stationary combustion plants are in the scope of the MCPD and will be required to register and report emissions to the Environment Agency, types of plants under the MCPD but not limited to include boilers, engines and turbines.
