What does the IPPC require each regulated installation to do with respect to energy?

  1. Establish a 10-year plan to become fully renewable energy powered

  2. Use energy efficiently

  3. Cut energy use by 50% within 5 years

  4. Report all energy consumption details to ECHA annually

The correct answer is: Use energy efficiently

The IPPC requires each regulated installation to use energy efficiently. This means implementing measures to reduce energy consumption, such as using energy-saving technologies and practices, optimizing energy use, and replacing energy with renewable sources whenever feasible. Establishing a 10-year plan to become fully renewable energy powered, as option A suggests, is not necessarily required under IPPC regulations. Cutting energy use by 50%, as suggested in option C, is a specific goal rather than a requirement and may not be feasible for all installations. Reporting energy consumption details to ECHA annually, as option D suggests, is not a direct requirement under the IPPC; rather, regulated installations are required to keep records of their energy use and report to regulatory authorities as needed. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it accurately reflects the main requirement stated by the IPPC.
