Energy Intensive - Heat Treatment
Energy Intensive (EI) - Heat Treatment
Eligibilty Criteria
To enter into a climate change agreement, you must be part of an energy intensive industry. Energy intensive industries were initially defined as industries that are covered by Part A1 or A2, in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (as amended). The definition of energy intensity expanded to include that set out in the Energy Products Directive (which came into force on 1 January 2004). This enabled the SEA to negotiate an agreement for the heat treatment sector.
To enter the SEA EI eligibility agreement you essentially have to operate a process that meets the following definition:
A facility belongs to the heat treatment sector if it is a facility where pre-formed or manufactured metal components are heat-treated to facilitate their efficient formability or to enhance their service performance.
Heat treatment processes are defined as those treatments which modify the microstructure or change the phase structure of the material being processed.
IMPORTANT - No new entrants will be allowed to join the agreement between 1st October 2009 and the start of new agreements in Q2 2011.
