In //NFR 2.B.6//, SO₂ emissions from the production of titanium dioxide are reported. 

===== Method =====
===Activity Data===
For the **production of titanium dioxide**, the producers report the sum of all SO₂-emissions. 
As these emissions are confidential, they are included in the respective emissions reported for **sulphuric acid production**.  

===Emission Factors===
Due to confidentiality concerns, this data is not made public.
===== Recalculations =====

For SO₂ emissions from the production of **titanium dioxide** and **sulphuric acid**, estimates reported for the //second to last year// of the time series are routinely actualised by the producers. Furthermore, definite emissions for the //last year of the time series// are not yet available at the time the inventory is compiled. Here, the reported values represent a prediction and are therefore updated with each new submission as well.

Because of technical problems with the data transfer, there is a small recalculation for  titanium dioxide production for 2015 and 2016.

For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2018, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following [[general:recalculations:start|chapter 8.1 - Recalculations]].

===== Planned improvements =====

In the NEC Review Germany was requested to calculate emissions of NO<sub>x</sub>, CO and TSP from titanium dioxide production. Germany tries to collect the data needed to calculate these emissions.

For the Key Category Analyses the emissions of SO<sub>x</sub> from TiO<sub>2</sub> production are wrongly allocated to 2B10a. Germany plans to reallocate these emissions in the next submission back to TiO<sub>2</sub>.
