The European Alliance to Save Energy (EU-ASE) welcomes the Commission’s proposal to revise the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and supports the high level of ambition in tackling emissions from large industrial installations as well as the stronger emphasis on energy and resources efficiency, including water.
While the directive marks a very positive development, there is still room for improvement notably on the application of the Energy Efficiency First principle, the scope, the granting of permits and the crucial role of digital technologies. You can see all feedback on the Commission’s portal.
