This document is a submission by Synfuels regarding proposed emission standards for combustion installations. The author provides feedback on particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide limits for both existing and new facilities, arguing for alignment with international standards and consideration of local resource constraints.

• Synfuels argues that proposed emission standards should account for the location of plants, their proximity to populations, and the existing state of the local airshed, as these factors influence point source requirements.
• Regarding Particulate Matter (PM), Synfuels supports the 75 mg/Nm³ limit for existing facilities but requests a mutually agreed improvement plan for implementation. For new facilities, they contest the proposed 20 mg/Nm³ limit, noting that international IFC and IPPC standards are 30 mg/Nm³, and propose a limit of 50 mg/Nm³.
• Synfuels supports the proposed SO₂ concentration limit of 4000mg/Nm³ for existing facilities and 400mg/Nm³ for new facilities, but warns that the latter may create an imbalance regarding South Africa's water resources due to the requirements of scrubber systems.
• The submission recommends the removal of proposed standards for Carbon Monoxide (CO), stating that neither the EU IPPC nor the IFC prescribes a CO standard and that the impact of CO emissions from high stacks is negligible compared to motor vehicles.
• For gas combustion installations, Synfuels suggests increasing the proposed NOx emission limit for new facilities from 50 mg/Nm³ to 60 mg/Nm³, asserting that the lower limit is not attainable in all instances due to varying feed gas compositions.
