====== 2.C.7.b - Nickel Production ======

In subcategory //NFR 2.C.7.b - Nickel production// the TSP, SO<sub>2</sub> and Ni emissions from nickel mining are reported. Reporting only covers the year 1990 because in 1991 nickel mining stopped in Germany.

===== Method =====

=== Activity data ===

The yearly production figure was taken from the annual statistical report of the US Geological Survey (USGS) for non-ferrous metals<sup>**[[#Bibliography| [Lit. 1]]]**</sup>.


=== Emission factors ===

The emission factors are the default values according to the 2019 EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook<sup>**[[#Bibliography| [Lit. 2]]]**</sup>.

__Table 1: applied Tier1 emission factors, in [kg/t]__

|                 ^  EF     ^
^ SO<sub>2</sub>  |  18     |
^ TSP             |  0.3    |
^ Ni              |  0.025  |
