Introduction

energy and environmental installations

environment challenges

Water, earth, air and fire: Early cultures were already trying to achieve

the necessary balance between the basic elements in order to create a

harmonious living environment.

It is clear that each of these four areas deserve much attention from

policymakers and technology developers, especially when we see the crucial

role they play as well as the pressure that the worldwide, growing prosperity

model exerts on the economically easily usable natural resources of these

elements:

air and water move around the entire planet without consideration for

borders. Pollution which can not be avoided at the source of use or which is

not biodegradable, can pile up and require purification processes at other

places of use.

Groundwater levels of fresh water are dropping worldwide. Just like primary

energy sources, they are becoming increasingly scarcer. Creating alternative,

artificial sources, for example through desalinization also requires energy

sources that need to be weighed up against possibilities for lesser use or

alternatives such as purification processes with a focus on suitable re-use.

energy resources are trade products on a world market of which the supply

scarceness is clearly reflected in the price. Here as well, there is an urgent

need to sparingly use and recycle re-usable energy. In order to continue to

ensure supply, all existing options - without exception - must be considered

and efforts must be drastically increased to search for new ones.

The use of land for food supplies competing with its use for energy crops has

recently led to debates about a more selective promotion of biofuels. Rich

countries are prepared to pay more for biofuels than poor countries can

afford for food supplies.

The soil as part of the biosphere is no longer seen as a storage buffer

for contamination and is the subject of rehabilitation in order to avoid

contamination of groundwater or ground cultures, especially in places where

land is re-used.

Legal Insight. Business Instinct.

Mounting energy prices, soil pollution, waste management: companies are increasingly confronted with new challenges. Thanks to its expert team in real estate, environmental and energy law, the Brussels-based business law firm Lydian is the ideal partner to help you in meeting these challenges.

What new challenges, you wonder?In the Flemish Region, a new Decree on soil pollution came into force on 1 June 2008. Soil pollution is or can become an issue for every industrial company: it often represents a deal breaker in a sale and acquisition process and/or a key issue in an investment decision about an industrial site.Furthermore, the various Belgian Regions have developed different kinds of support mechanisms to promote sustainable energy production, providing companies with new opportunities. Also, Agoria members will have a lot to gain if they can bundle their energy purchases through specific consortia.At European level, the Waste Framework Directive is being revised, setting new recycling targets to be met by 2020, including recycling rates of 70% for construction and demolition waste. And then there is the broad range of legislation on the national and regional levels to be complied with.

To the point advice from Lydian’s Real Estate, Environment and Regulatory Department Lydian’s Real Estate, Environment & Regulatory Department analyses but also assists and advises you in all these domains, in order to help you to meet legal requirements. We assess opportunities, elaborate appropriate management and cost-limiting policies and, when required, overcome legal obstacles to successful business. Our department, composed of 18 lawyers, can boast strong experience in the most complicated files and works for an increasing number of high value clients. Whatever issues you are confronted with, our lawyers, all experts in their field, are here to work out the most effective solution for you.

Lydianis one of the leading independent full service Belgian law firms, driven by 50 motivated and highly competent lawyers. ‘Lydian’ is a term used in jazz music and means ‘note system’ or ‘touchstone’, the backbone on which jazz musicians rely in jam sessions. In the same way our lawyers seek to be the backbone of their clients’ business ventures.

“Straight to the point advice is the hallmark of Lydian” (Legal 500).“The real estate team impresses clients with their excellent service and ability to deliver an immediate answer.” (Chambers)

Using less, recycling and encouraging synergyOne thing is clear: important investments and innovation efforts will be made

in the future on the development of environmental and energy processes

which reduce the burden on natural resources of the elements “water”, “fire”

(energy fuels) and “earth” (soil and material ore).

Reducing use

The use of energy, water, etc., can be improved through proper

management of the processes and an installation design that is well-adapted

to actual process needs (no unnecessary cooling or heating, no use of

machines for longer or at higher power than necessary, reducing heat losses,

selective use of air and water, etc.).

Recycling

A variation in the optimisation of the use of natural resources is recycling,

for example via closed cycles (i.e. re-use of water in closed circuits, with

local cooling or water treatment instead of “once through” use, recovery of

residual heat for other needs in the process, etc.), with the goal of reducing

costs for the external supply of energy, water and related taxes.

Synergy

Finally, one can also make use of the specific synergy between processes

where a combined production is better for the environment or economically

more interesting than the sum of separate productions, and where generating

fresh water, electricity, etc. is not for one’s own needs, but destined for the

market.

For example, it regards process combinations for:

- electricity and fresh water or hydrogen production

- process heat (e.g. residues incineration) and electricity

- CO2 capture and fuel for the transport sector

- water purification and fertilizer production, etc.

interaction between the four elementsBesides proactive use of interesting synergies between the four elements, it is

important when dealing with one of the four process areas, that the impact or

consequences on each of the three other areas is also being examined.

e.g. In the area of waste treatment, a shift took place from dumping

(polluting the earth) to incineration as the reference treatment. This required

an important focus on emission management (polluting the air).

However, incinerating also requires energy and cooling water, a

disadvantage that is countered by recovering residual heat for the

production of steam and electricity.

Maar verbranding vergt ook energie en koelwater, een nadeel dat op

zijn beurt wordt opgevangen door de recuperatie van restwarmte voor de

productie van stoom en elektriciteit.

Na recyclage van grondstoffen, wordt verbranding met energierecuperatie

–waste to energy- nu algemeen aanvaard als een milieuvriendelijke methode

voor de valorisatie van restfracties.

Repertorium van de Agoria-groep “Milieu- en Energie-installaties” De lidbedrijven die in dit repertorium worden gebundeld, zijn actief in één of

meer van de vier domeinen:

- bodemsanering (S van soil),

- waterzuivering (W van water),

- lucht- en rookgasbehandeling (A van air)

- thermische processen voor energieopwekking (T van thermal)

- Combinaties van deze domeinen

Een eerste groep van bedrijven is gespecialiseerd in het ontwerp en/of de

bouw van totaaloplossingen in deze vier domeinen: industriële installaties

voor filtering en rookgasreiniging, energierecuperatie en -opwekking,

waterzuivering en bodemsanering.

Een tweede groep betreft leveranciers of ateliers voor fabricage van

specifieke componenten, al of niet op maat gemaakt, en die in milieu- en

energie-installaties worden gebruikt:

Utiliser moins, recycler, exploiter les synergiesUne chose est certaine: à l’avenir, des investissements et efforts en

innovation importants seront consacrés au développement de processus

environnementaux et énergétiques qui réduisent le recours aux stocks naturels

des éléments “eau”, “feu” (carburants énergétiques) et “terre” (minerais).

Réduction de l’utilisation

On peut déjà nettement améliorer l’utilisation de l’énergie, de l’eau …

par une bonne maîtrise des processus et une conception des installations

qui répond précisément aux besoins réels des processus (ne pas refroidir

ou chauffer plus que nécessaire, ne pas faire fonctionner les machines

plus longtemps ou plus fort que besoin est et les utiliser à leur point de

fonctionnement optimal, limiter les déperditions de chaleur, utiliser l’air ou

l’eau de façon sélective, etc.).

Recyclage

Le recyclage constitue une variante dans l’optimisation de l’utilisation des

sources naturelles, p. ex. par le biais de circuits fermés (ex. réutilisation de

l’eau en circuits fermés, avec refroidissement ou traitement local de l’eau

au lieu d’une utilisation unique, récupération de la chaleur résiduelle pour

d’autres besoins dans le processus, etc.) dans le but de réduire les coûts de

l’approvisionnement extérieur en énergie et en eau et la taxation y relative.

Synergie

Enfin, on peut aussi exploiter les synergies spécifiques entre les processus,

là où une production combinée est moins polluante ou économiquement

plus intéressante que la somme des productions séparées et là où on vise la

production d’eau douce, d’électricité, etc. destinée non pas aux besoins

propres mais au marché.

Il s’agit p. ex. de combinaisons de processus pour:

- l’électricité et l’eau douce ou la production d’hydrogène;

- la chaleur de proces (e. a. combustion des résidus) et l’électricité;

- la captation du CO2 et le carburant pour le secteur du transport

- l’épuration des eaux et la production d’engrais…

Interaction entre les quatre élémentsOutre l’utilisation proactive des synergies intéressantes entre les quatre

éléments, il convient toujours d’effectuer, lors du traitement d’un des quatre

domaines de processus, une analyse de l’impact ou des conséquences sur

chacun des trois autres domaines.

P. ex. dans le domaine du traitement des déchets, lorsqu’on est passé de la

mise en décharge (pollution de la terre) vers la combustion comme méthode

de référence pour le traitement des fractions résiduelles, la maîtrise des émissions (pollution de l’air) a fait l’objet d’une attention particulière.
