EUEA logo text ENGOn 25 June 2015 EUEA attended “Energy and Climate Dialogue” Forum organised by Bellona Ukraine.

The Forum was dedicated to the progress of minimising the hazardous emissions produced by industry. 3 sessions covered the topics of:

  1. Emissions Control. EU standards on SOx, NOx, dust and CO2 emission
  2. Monitoring of SOx, NOx and dust emissions 
  3. Technological modernisation of  coal industry 

Following EU and EEC directives that regulate pollutive emissions in EU and that are obligatory for implementation in Ukraine.

Directive 85/337/EEC Environmental Impact Assessment

Directive 97/11/EC On the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment

Directive 2003/35/EC drawing up of certain plans and programmes relating to the environment and amending with regard to public participation 

Oleg Zhyzhko, Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry, announced the following statistics for the coal industry in Ukraine. There are 84 coal power stations across Ukraine, 79 of which are in need for reconstruction. Hence, to keep the maximum affordable SO2 level in the air (which is 0,33 particles per 1 sqr. meter), we shall start with the refurbishment immediately, though the system operator cannot withdraw more than 5 objects per year.

The National Plan, based on Article 32 of 2010/15/EC and 2001/80/EC, outlines the withdrawal of 46.26 GW of coal power plants capacity and building 21.97 GW of brand new ones by 2033. The total sector reconstruction will require EUR 23,595 b.
