Marine - Wales
Enters into force - 31 July 2016
The Marine Licencing (Exempted Activities) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2016 amends the Marine Licensing (Exempted Activities) (Wales) Order 2011. The amendment addresses changes to the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) by Directive (EU) 2015/1127. Directive 2015/1127 added a correction factor to address differences in the local climate of installations for the recovery of energy from waste.
The correction factor is to be applied when calculating energy efficiency to determine if the installation qualifies for classification as a site carrying out R1 (use of waste principally as a fuel or other means to generate energy) recovery operations. If the factor is not met, the installation is deemed to be carrying out a disposal operation.
