                          Wood preservation with chemicals
                          The Nordic Council of Ministers, the BAT Group under the
                          Working Group for Sustainable Consumption and Production, 
                          has requested the consultant to prepare a report on Best 
                          Available Techniques (BAT) in wood preservation with
                          chemicals in the Nordic countries. The Nordic wood preserving 
                          industry produces around 2.1 million m³ of impregnated 
                          wood per year, which is about one third of the total supply of 
                          pressure-treated wood in Europe. This report describes the 
                          present status of the used technologies, their emissions and 
                          impacts on the environment and technologies that can be 
                          considered BAT. The report will also be used as an input from
                          the Nordic countries to the EU process under the Industrial 
                          Emissions Directive (IED) for preparation of the BAT Reference 
                          Documentfor preservation of wood and wood products with
                          chemicals (WPC BREF) which is foreseen to start in 2014.
