N2O abatement project at nitric acid plant No. 11 at African Explosives Ltd. (AEL), South Africa

22

The sole purpose of the project activity is significantly reducing levels of N2O emissions from the production of nitric acid at AEL’s nitric acid plant in South Africa, by implementation of a secondary N2O abatement catalyst. N2O has a high global warming potential, every ton of N2O has the same effect as around 300 tons of CO2.
