Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/713) were published 9th March and enter into force 6th April.

Regulation 2 amends Part A(1) of Section 1.1 (combustion activities) of Part 1 of Schedule 1 by excluding waste gases produced by biological degradation in a landfill that does not require a permit under the 2000 Regulations from the definition of “fuel” in paragraph (b)(iii). A landfill gas engine appliance with a rated thermal input of 3 megawatts or more, but less than 50 megawatts, which burns such fuel will not require a permit under the 2000 Regulations.
