EMISSION BENCHMARKING

Fertilizers Europe has been conducting yearly environmental benchmarks amongst its members for ten years. Data on the emissions of various compounds to water and air from our production facilities are gathered and displayed graphically. This enables us to monitor the development of emissions from the European fertilizer industry and allows all members to compare their plants with other participants of the survey. 

The Technology, Environment and Safety Committee encourages open discussion among its members in order to improve the environmental performance of European fertilizer production. 

Trend analysis shows a decrease of emissions over the years. As examples of this analysis, the graphs displaying NOx emissions from ammonia - and nitric acid plants, N2O emissions from nitric acid plants, emissions of N and P-components to water and ammonia emissions to air from finished fertilizer plants (Urea, AN, CAN, NPK) are presented.
