| Technique | Description | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|---|
| a. | Fuel choice | See descriptions in Section 8.5 | Applicable within the constraints associated with the availability of different types of fuel, which may be impacted by the energy policy of the Member State |

BAT-associated emission levels (BAT-AELs) for dust emissions to air from the combustion of HFO and/or gas oil in reciprocating engines
| These BAT-AELs do not apply to plants operated < 1 500 h/yr. | ||||
| For plants operated < 500 h/yr, these levels are indicative. | ||||
