PROPOSALS TO REVISE THE SUBSTITUTE FUELS PROTOCOL FOR USE IN CEMENT AND LIME KILNS: CONSULTATION PAPER

The Environment Agency has published a consultation document to seek views on proposed revisions to the way it regulates the use of substitute fuels in cement and lime manufacturing. The revisions are proposed following review of the use of wastes as substitute fuels in cement and lime kilns around the world, as well as evidence and experience from the UK.

The consultation paper is available from the following website:
