 The category //2.C.3 - Aluminium production// is subdivided into primary aluminium and secondary aluminium production.  The category //2.C.3 - Aluminium production// is subdivided into primary aluminium and secondary aluminium production. 
  
-In Germany, primary aluminium is produced in electrolytic furnaces with pre-baked anodes. The pre-baked anodes are produced in separate anode production plants, where petroleum coke and tar pitch are mixed together and subsequently baked. This process produces PAH emissions. Hence, the aluminium production is a trend key category for PAH (TIER-2-method, TIER-3-method).+In Germany, primary aluminium is produced in electrolytic furnaces with pre-baked anodes. The pre-baked anodes are produced in separate anode production plants, where petroleum coke and tar pitch are mixed together and subsequently baked. This process produces PAH emissions. 
  
 Secondary aluminium is produced in several different furnace types. Emissions can vary according to different scrap qualities. The use of hexachloroethane for degassing during refining operations of secondary aluminium production has been prohibited by law in Germany since 2002, resulting in an omission of the source for HCB. For the period between 1990 and 2001, however, no data on national emissions of HCB in secondary aluminium industries is available. In order to be able to calculate these HCB emissions, the default emission factor for HCB was used. Secondary aluminium is produced in several different furnace types.

-No improvements are planned.+The emission factor for CO will be adjusted to typical operating parameters mentioned in the technical guideline VDI 2286 "Emission //control - Electrolytic aluminium reduction process"//<sup>**[[#Bibliography| [Lit. 4]]]**</sup> for the next submission 2024. With that adjustment the emission factor will be harmonized with the standard emission factor of the emission guidebook 2019 lowering the CO emissions.
