Details
Best available techniques (BAT) aim to prevent or reduce emissions and impacts on the environment.
Techniques include:
- the technology used
- how your installation is designed, built, maintained, operated and decommissioned
Industrial installations with specific types of activity must use BAT to prevent and reduce emissions to air, water and land.
The UK BAT system will be the mechanism by which the techniques can be established through an evidence led, collaborative approach.
