 +There are two kinds of processes called chloride process and sulfate process for the production of titanium dioxide. The total production amount is attained from the German Federal Statistical Office[(ProStat>Production statistics: Until 1994 GP89 - 4612 50, 1995 until 2008 GP241211500 and GP201211500 from 2009 onwards)].
  
-In **NFR 2.B.6**, SO,,2,, emissions from the production of titanium dioxide are reported. +For the calculation of individual production of each process, the fraction of chloride process is determined based on the estimated total production capacity in Germany (480 kt/y) and the production capacity via chloride process (165 kt/y) [(https://forum-titandioxid.de/2020/03/12/sachlage-zu-titandioxid-und-titandioxidhaltigen-farben-und-lacken/ )][(https://www.kronosww.com/products/about-tio2/)].  
  
-===== Method =====+===Emission Factors=== 
 + 
 +Emission factors for Titanium dioxide production are the Tier 2 emission factors from EMEP Guidebook: NO<sub>x</sub>, CO, and TSP are provided for the chloride process, while only factors for NO<sub>x</sub> and TSP are available for the sulfate process.  
 + 
 +The applied Tier 2 emission factors are listed in Table 1 [(European Environment Agency: EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2019, Part B: sectoral guidance chapters, 2.B Chemical industry (Oct 2019): pp.25-26, table 3.19 and table 3.20)]. 
 + 
 +Table 1: Tier 2 emission factors for Titanium dioxide production, in [kg/t] 
 +^ Pollutant        ^ Name of process  ^ EF     ^ 
 +|  CO              | Chloride         | 159    | 
 +|  NO<sub>x</sub>  | Chloride         | 0.1    | 
 +|  TSP             | Chloride         | 0.2    | 
 +|  NO<sub>x</sub>  | Sulfate          | 0.108  | 
 +|  TSP             | Sulfate          | 0.3    | 
 + 
 +===Emissions=== 
 + 
 +The association of the titanium producers reports the sum of SO<sub>2</sub> emissions from both processes directly to the UBA. Here, since submission 2022, these emissions are no longer confidential. 
 + 
 +Except for SO<sub>2</sub>, emissions of the mentioned pollutants are calculated through the multiplication of activity data and corresponding emission factors. 
 + 
 +As the emission factors are constant over the time the emission trend is influenced only by the development of the production. 
  
-For the **production of titanium dioxide**, the producers report the sum of all SO,,2,,-emissions.  
-As these emissions are confidential, they are included in the respective emisisons reported for **sulphuric acid production**.   
  
 ===== Recalculations ===== ===== 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.
  
-For SO,,2,, emissions from the production of **titanium dioxide** and **sulphuric acid**, estimates reported for the //second-last year// of the time series are routinely actualised by the producers. Furthermore, original 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, too.+As the SO₂ emissions from titanium dioxide are no longer confidential, they are reallocated from 2.B.10 to this category (see Table 2 ). 
  
-For Titandioxid production there is a small recalculation for the 2015 and 2016, because of technical problems with the data transfer.+Furthermore, CO, NOₓ and TSP emissions are reported for the first time (see also Table 2).

-===== Planned improvements =====+<WRAP center round info 60%> 
 +For **pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2019**, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following [[general:recalculations:start|chapter 8.1 - Recalculations]]. 
 +</WRAP>
  
-In the NEC Review Germany was requested to calculate emissions of NO,,x,,, CO and TSP from titan dioxid production. Germany tries to collect the data neede to calculate these emissions.+===== Planned improvements =====
  
 +For 1990 and 1991 for reasons of confidentiality the SOx-emissions were replaced by the emissions value from 1992. Meanwhile the confidentiality does not anymore exist. So for the next submission the real SOx for 1990 and 1991 will be published.
