• Type of combustion plant (diesel engine plant, gas turbine, dual-fuel engine plant, other engine plant, other combustion plant)
• Type of fuel used and respective share of total energy input
• Date of commissioning of the firing system
• the NACE code to which the other activity is to be assigned, in accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006
• expected number of annual operating hours of the combustion plant and average operating load
• where use is made of a scheme for installations with few operating hours: a declaration signed by the operator stating that the combustion plant will not be in operation for more than the number of hours referred to in those paragraphs
• if use is made of a regulation for emergency operation: a declaration signed by the operator stating that the combustion plant will only be in operation in an emergency;
• Name and registered office of the operator and location of the installation with address
• Geocoordinates of the chimney and height above ground

Under Forms you will find the "Form register sheet for the notification of a combustion plant in accordance with the 44th BlmSchV".
Under the further links you will find the reference to our topic page "Register of combustion plants 44th BlmSchV" with summarized information.

The notification must be submitted before commissioning a new system.

The operation of an existing system must be reported by December 1, 2023.

The administrative service is a real act against which no legal remedy is possible.

• Register of combustion plants 44th BlmSchV

  As the competent authority, the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen District Office must keep a register with information on every combustion plant to be registered in accordance with § 6 of the 44th BImSchV pursuant to § 36 of the 44th BImSchV and must also make the information contained in the register publicly accessible in accordance with Directive 2003/4/EC.

The notification must be submitted in writing by post or electronically to the competent authority.
