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, activity 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 emissions, plant specific activity data is applied here according to the IPCC guidelines. The data is attained 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
Due to confidentiality concerns, this data is not made public (see short description).
Recalculations
With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations were carried out compared to Submission 2022.
Planned improvements
No category-specific improvements are planned.
