Sulphur emissions from small stationary oil combustion plant and the availability of low sulphur fuel oil in the EEC

Report no. 87/61: This report deals with sulphur emissions from combustion plant of capacities less than 50 MW/h and the possible effect the implementation of the EEC Large Combustion Plant Directive could have on these emissions. The availability of low sulphur fuel oil in the EEC up to year 2000 is also discussed and the difference between the Northern and Southern member countries highlighted.

Some information is given on the sulphur grades of fuel oil availability in the 12 EEC member countries, in order to ascertain whether some standardization would be possible.
