Project related text:
The purpose of the project is to reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions created as by-product in the production of nitric acid (HNO3) at Yara's plant. The ammonia oxidation reactor in the production plant has been equipped with a catalyst developed by Yara. It is estimated that this will reduce nitrous oxide emissions by some 80 per cent. ERUs for the project are issued for any emission reductions below a specified benchmark emission level, which is clearly below the historical emission level. The estimate for the total number of ERUs during 2008-2012 is 276,338 tCO2e in the PDD. The issued amount is 175,558 tCO2e until 19 December 2010.
Current status of the project Operational
Total verified emission reductions 420987.0 t CO2 equivalent
