====== 2.C.7.b - Nickel Production ======
In subcategory //NFR 2.C.7.b - Nickel production// the TSP, SO2 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**[[#Bibliography| [Lit. 1]]]**.
=== Emission factors ===
The emission factors are the default values according to the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2023**[[#Bibliography| [Lit. 2]]]**.
__Table 1: applied Tier1 emission factors, in [kg/t]__
| ^ EF ^
^ SO2 | 18 |
^ TSP | 0.3 |
^ Ni | 0.025 |
=== Uncertainties ===
===== Recalculations =====
There is no primary nickel production in Germany. Therefore it is **not necessary to update** the activity data and emission factors.
===== Planned improvements =====
There are no category-specific improvements planned.
