B.SO₂ emission limit values expressed in mg/Nm³ (O₂ content 6 %) to be applied by new plants pursuant to Article 4(2) with the exception of gas turbines.U.K.

Type of fuel	50 to 100 MWth	100 to 300 MWth	> 300 MWth
^a Except in the case of the ‘Outermost Regions’ where 850 to 200 mg/Nm³ (linear decrease) shall apply.
Biomass	200	200	200
General case	850	200^a	200

NB.U.K.

Where the emission limit values above cannot be met due to the characteristics of the fuel, installations shall achieve 300 mg/Nm³ SO₂, or a rate of desulphurisation of at least 92 % shall be achieved in the case of plants with a rated thermal input of less than or equal to 300 MWth and in the case of plants with a rated thermal input greater than 300 MWth a rate of desulphurisation of at least 95 % together with a maximum permissible emission limit value of 400 mg/Nm³ shall apply.U.K.
