...Failure to comply with the latest EU pollution standards poses serious risks for the planned 220 MW Pljevlja II lignite-fired power plant in Montenegro, according to an analysis published...by NGOs CEE Bankwatch Network and Green Home. The research examines environmental data published...by the Montenegro government on the seven preliminary bids received for the project from Chinese and European companies and finds that: Only one of the offers is in compliance with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive for dust emissions. None of the offers reach the efficiency levels associated with EU Best Available Techniques...[N]one of the offers is in line with the new pollution standards for new coal plants in China. This means that all the companies – including the European ones - are offering technology in Montenegro which they would not be allowed to construct in China.“The Montenegro government has so far failed to react to the fact that...preliminary offers for Pljevlja II are environmentally substandard, and looks set to allow the country to become a dumping ground for second-rate lignite technology”, commented Jelena Marojevic of Green Home.
