# Directive (EU) 2015/2193 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from medium combustion plants (Text with EEA relevance), Part 1: Emission limit values for existing medium combustion plants Extent: E+W+S+N.I. Table 1 Emission limit values (mg/Nm3) for existing medium combustion plants with a rated thermal input equal to or greater than 1 MW and less than or equal to 5 MW, other than engines and gas turbines The value does not apply in the case of plants firing exclusively woody solid biomass. 300 mg/Nm3 in the case of plants firing straw. 400 mg/Nm3 in the case of low calorific gases from coke ovens in the iron and steel industry. Pollutant Solid biomass Other solid fuels Gas oil Liquid fuels other than gas oil Natural gas Gaseous fuels other than natural gas SO2 200 1 100 — 350 — 200 NOx 650 650 200 650 250 250 Dust 50 50 — 50 — — Table 2 Emission limit values (mg/Nm3) for existing medium combustion plants with a rated thermal input greater than 5 MW, other than engines and gas turbines The value does not apply in the case of plants firing exclusively woody solid biomass. 300 mg/Nm3 in the case of plants firing straw. 1 100 mg/Nm3 in the case of plants with a rated thermal input greater than 5 MW and less than or equal to 20 MW. Until 1 January 2030, 850 mg/Nm3 in the case of plants with a rated thermal input greater than 5 MW and less than or equal to 20 MW firing heavy fuel oil. 400 mg/Nm3 in the case of low calorific gases from coke ovens, and 200 mg/Nm3 in the case of low calorific gases from blast furnaces, in the iron and steel industry. 170 mg/Nm3 in the case of biogas. 50 mg/Nm3 in the case of plants with a rated thermal input greater than 5 MW and less than or equal to 20 MW.
