UPDATED · REVISED EU AMBIENT AIR QUALITY DIRECTIVE

// IMMO.QUICK · GATETALUFT · TA LUFT 2021 · 44. BIMSCHV · BIMSCHG § 4 · DIRECTIVE (EU) 2024/2881

No startup, without a permit.

gateTALuft forensically seals that a large industrial plant passes six clusters, PM10, NO2, SO2, heavy metals, air-quality monitoring under the revised EU Ambient Air Quality Directive (EU) 2024/2881, and BImSchG approval, before startup at T=0. Support for plant operators, never a replacement for the emissions-control permit itself.

In one sentence: gateTALuft checks every large plant against TA Luft emission limits before it goes into operation, not only at the next environmental measurement.

✓ RELEVANT IF...

You operate a permit-requiring large plant (power plant, cement works, large combustion facility)
You need to prove TA Luft limit compliance before startup

✕ NOT RELEVANT IF...

You expect the emissions-control authority to automatically recognise the result as a permit
No permit-requiring large plant or emissions control is involved

// The problem

An emission limit that only surfaces at the annual measurement arrived too late.

TA Luft sets hard annual and hourly average values for PM10, NO2, SO2, and heavy metals. gateTALuft checks these values against the BImSchG permit before a large plant is even allowed to start operating.

// Architecture

6 clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation.

CLUSTER 1

PM10 Measurement

Checks particulate matter against the 40 µg/m³ annual average and the 50 µg/m³ one-hour limit under TA Luft Annex 4.

pm10_annual_ugm3 · pm10_1h_ugm3

CLUSTER 2

NO2 Measurement

Checks nitrogen dioxide against the annual average of 40 µg/m³.

no2_annual_ugm3

CLUSTER 3

SO2 Measurement

Checks sulphur dioxide against the 350 µg/m³ one-hour limit and the 75 µg/m³ daily average.

so2_1h_ugm3 · so2_daily_ugm3

CLUSTER 4

Heavy Metal Measurement

Checks lead (0.5 µg/m³) and cadmium (5 ng/m³) as annual averages.

CLUSTER 5

44th BImSchV

Checks environmental monitoring and air-quality planning under the 44th BImSchV and EU Directives 2008/50/EC and 2004/107/EC.

CLUSTER 6

BImSchG Large Plant Permit

Checks the permit requirement under §4 BImSchG and any subsequent orders under §22.

// Clarification

What gateTALuft is not.

Not automatic recognition by the emissions-control authority. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not a permit.
Not an independent emissions measurement system. The gate checks reported readings, it does not replace continuous emissions monitoring.

No startup, without a permit.

An emission limit that only surfaces at the annual measurement arrived too late.

6 clusters, checked sequentially.

Two tested scenarios.

What gateTALuft is not.

For plant operators that want to make TA Luft compliance provable before startup.
