Immissionsschutz - Inbetriebnahme einer Feuerungsanlage nach 44. BImSchV anzeigen

Vierundvierzigste Verordnung zur Durchführung des Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetzes (44. BlmSCHV):

• § 6 Absatz 1 und Absatz 2 Registrierung von Feuerungsanlagen

As the operator of a combustion plant (medium-sized combustion plant, gas turbine and internal combustion engine plant), you are obliged to notify the competent authority of the intended operation before commissioning. Existing combustion plants that were put into operation before 20 December 2018 had to be notified to the competent authority by 1 December 2023.

• Thermal input of the combustion plant (in megawatts);
• Type of firing plant (diesel engine plant, gas turbine, dual-fuel engine plant, other engine plant, other firing plant);
• Type of fuel used and respective share of total energy input;
• Date of commissioning of the combustion plant;
• the NACE code (classification of economic activities) to which the other activity is to be assigned:
• expected number of annual operating hours of the combustion plant and average operating load;
• if a scheme for installations with few operating hours is used: a declaration signed by the operator stating that the combustion plant will not be in operation for more than the number of hours specified in those paragraphs;
• if use is made of an emergency operation scheme: a declaration signed by the operator stating that the combustion plant will only operate in an emergency;
• Name and registered office of the operator and location of the installation with address;
• Geo-coordinates of the chimney and height above ground.

The notification obligation applies to

1. combustion plants subject to authorisation and combustion plants not subject to authorisation (medium-sized combustion plants, gas turbine and internal combustion engine plants) with a rated thermal input of at least 1 megawatt and less than 50 megawatts, regardless of which fuels or which types of fuel are used;
2. combustion plants subject to authorisation (medium-sized combustion plants, gas turbine and internal combustion engine plants) with a rated thermal input of less than 1 megawatt, irrespective of the fuels or types of fuels used; and
3. joint combustion plants pursuant to § 4 of the 44th BImSchV with a rated thermal input of at least 1 megawatt each, regardless of which fuels or which types of fuels are used, unless this combination forms a combustion plant with a rated thermal input of 50 megawatts or more, which falls under the scope of the Ordinance on Large Combustion Plants, Gas Turbine and Internal Combustion Engine Plants - 13th BImSchV.

The notification must contain the information specified in Annex 1 of the 44th BImSchV.

There are no costs.

The notification must be submitted electronically to the competent authority.

The authority checks the notification formally and for completeness.

If the notification is incomplete, the competent authority will notify you.

Once the formal check has been passed, the competent authority enters the installation in the register of installations and informs you of the registration.

The notification must be submitted before commissioning a new system. The operation of an existing installation must be notified by 1 December 2023.

Please make sure that you submit the notification to the immission control authority responsible for your combustion plant.
