The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (2018 Amendment)

Oil refineries, as included in the EU Emissions Trading System, must have a greenhouse gas emissions permit from the Environmental Agency, Scottish Environmental Agency, or Northern Ireland Environmental Agency. 

 

This includes VOCs (and methane) emitted from storage and handling facilities, oil/water separation systems, other vents, flare systems, etc. 

 

The government issued a guidance note for inventory reporting, in line with the regulation.
