# Commission Implementing Decision of 26 March 2013 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions for the production of cement, lime and magnesium oxide (notified under document C(2013) 1728) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/163/EU), Division: SCOPE

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

These BAT conclusions concern the following industrial activities specified in Section 3.1 of Annex I to Directive 2010/75/EU, namely:
Regarding point 3.1(c) above, these BAT conclusions only address the production of MgO using the dry process route based on mined natural magnesite (magnesium carbonate - MgCO3).
In particular, concerning the above-mentioned activities, these BAT conclusions cover the following:
production of cement, lime and magnesium oxide (dry process route)
raw materials – storage and preparation
fuels – storage and preparation
use of waste as raw materials and/or fuels – quality requirements, control and preparation
products – storage and preparation
packaging and dispatch.
These BAT conclusions do not address the following activities:
the production of magnesium oxide using the wet process route using magnesium chloride as the starting material, covered by the Reference Document on Best Available Techniques for Large Volume Inorganic Chemicals – Solids and Others Industry (LVIC-S)
the production of ultra low-carbon dolime (i.e. a mixture of calcium and magnesium oxides produced by the nearly full decarbonation of dolomite (CaCO3.MgCO3). The residual CO2 content of the product is below 0,25 % and the bulk density well below 3,05 g/cm3)
shaft kilns for cement clinker production
activities which are not directly associated with the primary activity such as quarrying.
Other reference documents which are of relevance for the activities covered by these BAT conclusions are the following:

The techniques listed and described in these BAT conclusions are neither prescriptive nor exhaustive. Other techniques may be used that ensure at least an equivalent level of environmental protection.
Where these BAT conclusions address waste co-incineration plants, this is without prejudice to the provisions of Chapter IV of and Annex VI to Directive 2010/75/EU.
Where these BAT conclusions address energy efficiency, this is without prejudice to the provisions of the new Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on Energy Efficiency.
