A decarbonisation project spanning several facilities on one site may be split, by agreement with the single point of contact, into smaller projects so each fits the permitting time limits.
Promoters of energy-intensive industry decarbonisation projects are given a right, and this is law in force.
Why it matters
This is law in force, not a proposal.
