  • Annual Review 2014 Incorporating the Annual Report and Accounts of the Institution of Chemical Engineers
    ADVANCING CHEMICAL ENGINEERING WORLDWIDE Annual Review 2014 Incorporating the annual report and accounts of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Chemical engineers creating, maintaining and improving quality of life Shining a light on chemical engineering At the start of my presidential year, I made three commitments. First, I stressed the need for chemical engineers to stand up and speak out on behalf of our profession and I pledged to lead from the front. Second, I emphasised the importance of building bridges with other stakeholders on the chemical engineering landscape and I promised to build on Chemical Engineering Matters as a platform for communication, both inside and outside IChemE. Finally, I stressed the need for the Institution to be more active in emphasising to those outside our profession, not least governments, the role of chemical engineering in securing sustainable energy solutions. There have been developments on all fronts. In May, I initiated a daily blog with the intention of shining a light on chemical engineering on all 365 days of my presidency. My chemical engineering good news stories have been read and shared by more than 100,000 readers in 160 countries. I trust that this has provided inspiration and encouragement to chemical engineers everywhere. The partnerships with the South African Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center evidence our willingness to collaborate; as does the joint statement on climate change that we signed with the Royal Society of Chemistry in November. Energy and climate change issues constantly feature as the top priority for our members.

  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.
