2.B.3 - Adipic Acid Production

Short description

In source category NFR 2.B.3 - adipic acid production NOx and CO emissions from the production of adipic acid are reported. As there are only three producers of adipic acid, data provided by them has to be treated as confidential. Due to this reason, only emissions could be reported.

Method

As this source category is a key category for N2O, plant specific activity data is applied here according to the IPCC guidelines. This data is made available basically via a co-operation agreement with the adipic acid producers. A single data collection of plant specific NOx and CO emissions and related emission factors of one year (2016) was sufficient as the emissions are below the threshold of significance. These emission factors are applied to the whole time series for every plant.

Activity Data

Due to confidentiality concerns, this data is not made public (see short description).

Emission factors

Recalculations

No recalculations were necessary.

For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2019, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following chapter 8.1 - Recalculations.

Planned improvements

No category-specific improvements are planned.
