What goes into the CBAM figure for ammonium nitrate made at Rustavi?

Ammonia from gas, nitrous oxide from the nitric acid plant, and electricity all count, because fertilisers carry direct and indirect emissions into the charge. If the plant buys ammonia, that ammonia is a precursor and its figure is needed too.

Direct

• Natural gas as feedstock and fuel for ammonia.
• Nitrous oxide from nitric acid production.
• Steam raised on site.

Precursors

Ammonia and nitric acid made on site are part of one figure. Bought ammonia needs its own embedded emissions from the supplier or a default.

Nitrous oxide abatement

A catalyst in the nitric acid burner can remove most nitrous oxide. Keep the monitoring records; CBAM counts the measured figure.

What Senseible does here

Senseible keeps each site's fuel, power and production records together, so the embedded emissions you send an EU importer trace back to dated documents.

• Fertiliser N2O
• Uzbek ammonium nitrate
• Urea and DAP in CBAM
