Guidelines on sectoral reference documents for EMAS

This Guideline represents the completion of the previous ISPRA Report “The Sectoral Reference Document for EMAS” to which the sheets relating to the other Sectoral Reference Documents published by the European Commission have been added. The document intends to encourage EMAS registered organizations, as required by the European Regulation itself, to make a wider and more widespread use of the Sectoral Reference Documents, issued by the European Commission in order to identify and promote the best environmental management practices, environmental performance for specific sectors and, where appropriate, examples of excellence that make it possible to determine the levels of environmental performance.

EMAS and climate change

This guideline takes the reader through the topic of climate change and its close interconnection with emission sources. Starting with the “Environmental Statements” of a sample of EMAS-certified power plants which produce electrical energy from fossil fuels it examines the CO 2 , NOx, CO and SO X emissions produced in the period between 2011 and 2019. The results show how the energy sector, thanks to the implementation of an Environmental Management System, can correctly manage air emissions and continuously improve on them.
