The application of EU legislation on BAT for LCP leads to the need for a new perspective on a comprehensive solution to the issue of technologies used for greening, flue gas cleaning and related research and development activities, especially in countries with a large share of solid fossil fuel use in industrial sources. Examples of these countries in the EU are, for example, the Czech Republic and Poland. These new regulations, valid from August 2021, set lower emission limits for SO2, NOx, dust (TZL), CO, in comparison with the national ones and set new emission limits for flue gas components such as HF, HCl and, last but not least, Hg. On one hand,...
