Article 19U.K.Categorisation of installations, source streams and emission sources

1.For the purpose of monitoring emissions and determining the minimum requirements for tiers, each operator shall determine the category of its installation pursuant to paragraph 2, and, where relevant, of each source stream pursuant to paragraph 3 and of each emission source pursuant to paragraph 4.

2.The operator shall classify each installation in one of the following categories:

(a)a category A installation, where the average verified annual emissions in the trading period immediately preceding the current trading period, with the exclusion of CO2 stemming from biomass and before subtraction of transferred CO2, are equal to or less than 50 000 tonnes of CO2(e);

(b)a category B installation, where the average verified annual emissions of the trading period immediately preceding the current trading period, with the exclusion of CO2 stemming from biomass and before subtraction of transferred CO2, are more than 50 000 tonnes of CO2(e) and equal to or less than 500 000 tonnes of CO2(e);

(c)a category C installation, where the average verified annual emissions of the trading period immediately preceding the current trading period, with the exclusion of CO2 stemming from biomass and before subtraction of transferred CO2, are more than 500 000 tonnes of CO2(e).

By way of derogation from Article 14(2), the competent authority may allow the operator not to modify the monitoring plan where, on the basis of verified emissions, the threshold for the classification of the installation referred to in the first subparagraph is exceeded, but the operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that this threshold has not already been exceeded within the past five reporting periods and will not be exceeded again in subsequent reporting periods.

3.The operator shall classify each source stream in one of the following categories, comparing it against the sum of all absolute values of fossil CO2 and CO2(e) corresponding to all source streams included in calculation-based methodologies and of all emissions of emission sources monitored using measurement-based methodologies, before subtraction of transferred CO2:

(a)minor source streams, where the source streams selected by the operator jointly account for less than 5 000 tonnes of fossil CO2 per year or less than 10 %, up to a total maximum of 100 000 tonnes of fossil CO2 per year, whichever is greater in terms of absolute value;

(b)de minimis source streams, where the source streams selected by the operator jointly account for less than 1 000 tonnes of fossil CO2 per year or less than 2 %, up to a total maximum of 20 000 tonnes of fossil CO2 per year, whichever is greater in terms of absolute value;

(c)major source streams, where the source streams do not fall within the categories referred to in points (a) and (b).

By way of derogation from Article 14(2), the competent authority may allow the operator not to modify the monitoring plan where, on the basis of verified emissions, the threshold for the classification of a source stream as a minor source stream or a de minimis source stream referred to in the first subparagraph is exceeded, but the operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that this threshold has not already been exceeded within the past five reporting periods and will not be exceeded again in subsequent reporting periods.

4.The operator shall classify each emission source for which a measurement-based methodology is applied in one of the following categories:

(a)minor emission sources, where the emission source emits less than 5 000 tonnes of fossil CO2(e) per year or less than 10 % of the installation's total fossil emissions, up to a maximum of 100 000 tonnes of fossil CO2(e) per year, whichever is greater in terms of absolute value;

(b)major emission sources, where the emission source does not classify as a minor emission source.

By way of derogation from Article 14(2), the competent authority may allow the operator not to modify the monitoring plan where, on the basis of verified emissions, the threshold for the classification of an emission source as a minor emission source referred to in the first subparagraph is exceeded, but the operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that this threshold has not already been exceeded within the past five reporting periods and will not be exceeded again in subsequent reporting periods.

5.Where the average annual verified emissions in the trading period immediately preceding the current trading period for the installation are not available or no longer representative for the purpose of paragraph 2, the operator shall use a conservative estimate of annual average emissions, with the exclusion of CO2 stemming from biomass and before subtraction of transferred CO2, to determine the category of the installation.
