-In //NFR 2.B.6//, SO₂,CO,NOx and TSP emissions from the production of titanium dioxide are reported. +In //NFR 2.B.6//, SO₂,CO,NOₓ and TSP emissions from the production of titanium dioxide are reported.

 ===Activity Data=== ===Activity Data===
-For the **production of titanium dioxide**, the producers report the sum of all SO₂-emissions.  + 
-As these emissions are confidentialthey are included in the respective emissions reported for **sulphuric acid production**.  +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)]
 + 
 +For the calculation of individual production of each processthe 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/)].  
  
 ===Emission Factors=== ===Emission Factors===
-Due to confidentiality concerns, this data is not made public. 
-===== Recalculations ===== 
  
 +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. 
 +
 +
 +===== 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 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.

-Because of technical problems with the data transferthere is a small recalculation for  titanium dioxide production for 2015 and 2016.+As the SO₂ emissions from titanium dioxide are no longer confidentialthey are reallocated from 2.B.10 to this category (see Table 2 ).  
 + 
 +Furthermore, CO, NOₓ and TSP emissions are reported for the first time (see also Table 2).

-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 1990 and 1991 for reasons of confidentiality the SOx-emissions were replaced by the emissions value from 1992Meanwhile the confidentiality does not anymore exist. So for the next submission the real SOx for 1990 and 1991 will be published

-For the Key Category Analyses the emissions of SO<sub>x</sub> from TiO<sub>2</sub> production are wrongly allocated to 2B10aGermany plans to reallocate these emissions in the next submission back to TiO<sub>2</sub>.+
