4.3. Clean Technology (if applicable)

4.3.1 How has clean technology, including energy efficient technologies, been taken into account in the allocation process? 4.3.2 If at all, which clean technology has been taken into account, and on what basis does it qualify as such? Have any energy production technologies intended to be taken into account been in receipt of approved State aid for environmental protection in any Member State? Please state whether any other industrial technologies intended to be taken into account constitute “best available techniques” as defined in Council Directive 96/61EC, and explain in what way it is particularly performing in limiting emissions of covered greenhouse gases.

4.3.1. Criterion 8 effectively extends criterion 3 to the installation level and states that a NAP shall contain information on the manner in which clean technologies, including energy efficient technologies, are taken into account. As in the case of criterion 7, the Commission has stated in its guidance document that applying this criterion is optional.

According to the Commission, this criterion will be deemed to be fulfilled if a Member State clearly explains in its NAP whether it intends to take clean technologies into account and if so, how.

Bulgaria does not take into account clean technologies.

4.3.2. Bulgaria considers that the main result of the implementation of the Directive, through setting prices to GHG emissions, will be the automatic initiative to use clean and energy efficient technologies. Therefore, clean technologies, promoted in the NAP, include the energy efficiency activities and the use of renewable energy sources, which are priorities of the National Energy Strategy (through setting aside allowances for “joint implementation” projects with indirect effect on power generation) and the co-generation (through a special reserve of allowances).
