Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed) (c. 601)

ANNEX IV U.K. Activity-specific monitoring methodologies related to installations (Article 20(2))

16. Determination of nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from nitric acid, adipic acid, caprolactam, glyoxal and glyoxylic acid production as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC U.K.

A. Scope U.K.

Each operator shall consider for each activity from which N₂O emissions result, all sources emitting N₂O from production processes, including where N₂O emissions from production are channelled through any abatement equipment. This includes any of the following:

(a) nitric acid production

—

N₂O emissions from the catalytic oxidation of ammonia and/or from the NO_x/N₂O abatement units;

(b) adipic acid production

—

N₂O emissions including from the oxidation reaction, any direct process venting and/or any emissions control equipment;

(c) glyoxal and glyoxylic acid production

—

N₂O emissions including from the process reactions, any direct process venting and/or any emissions control equipment;

(d) caprolactam production

—

N₂O emissions including from the process reactions, any direct process venting and/or any emissions control equipment.

These provisions shall not apply to any N₂O emissions from the combustion of fuels.
