All over the world, different policies and practices are being implemented to prevent and control industrial emissions in order to ensure a high level of environmental and human health protection. Many of these policies incorporate the concept of best available techniques (BAT) to establish evidence-based environmental permit conditions for industrial installations. However, consideration of value chain aspects in the determination of BAT is not a systematic practice.
The 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 report on
Value chain approaches to determining Best Available Techniques (BAT) for industrial installations
demonstrates that more systematic consideration of value chain aspects in the BAT determination process can help mitigate overall environmental impacts.
On 5 May 2022, the 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 hosted a webinar to discuss how to incorporate value chain approaches in BAT determinations and related environmental regulatory concepts as well as the challenges faced and possible solutions. |

Value chain approaches to determining Best Available Techniques (BAT) for industrial installations

An increasing number of countries use BAT as a tool to establish evidence-based environmental permit conditions for industrial installations, in order to prevent and control industrial pollution, and thus to ensure a high level of human health and environmental protection. BAT are state-of-the-art techniques that are developed at a scale that enables implementation under economically and technically viable conditions.
Countries spend significant resources on designing, developing and implementing policies for BAT-based permitting. Therefore, there is an added value in sharing experience, knowledge and best practices on this topic amongst 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 member and partner countries. The 蜂鸟电竞在线入口’s BAT project has so far resulted in the following publications:
The overall objectives of the 蜂鸟电竞在线入口’s BAT project are to assist governments to implement policies and practices that embody BAT (or similar concepts) to prevent and control industrial pollution, and to contribute to progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
