        (Alberta) AER Directive 039: Revised Program to Reduce Benzene Emissions from Glycol Dehydrators

        … Licensees must report on the inventory form the annual mass of methane released, in kilograms, for each dehydrator that operated in the calendar year. Applying or establishing a benzene control efficiency (i.e., a per cent benzene that has been removed) for a control technology is described in section 4. Directive 039 iterates that is illegal for a project to be operating if it does not comply with benzene emission limitations.  While the directive focuses on benzene, glycol dehydrators also emit methane and these measures have the co-benefit of reducing methane emissions as well. Governed by Alberta Energy Regulator

        The construction industry generates about 9% of European GDP and accounts for 18 million direct jobs. Construction activities that include renovation work and energy retrofits add almost twice as much value as the construction of new buildings, and SMEs contribute more than 70% of the value added in the EU building sector .
        In line with the above mentioned objectives, this proposal will update the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive ('EPBD' ) by:
