The following Annex XX is added:

ANNEX XX

Activity-specific guidelines for the production of ammonia as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC

1.

BOUNDARIES AND COMPLETENESS

The activity-specific guidelines contained in this Annex shall be used to monitor emissions from installations producing ammonia as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC.

Ammonia production installations can be part of integrated installations in the chemical or refinery industry causing an intensive energy and material exchange. CO2 emissions may occur from combustion of fuels as well as from fuels used as process input for the production of ammonia. In a number of ammonia producing installations CO2 resulting from the production process is captured and used for other production processes, e.g. for the production of urea. Such captured CO2 shall be accounted for as emitted.

2.

DETERMINATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

In installations for the production of ammonia, CO2 emissions result from the following emission sources and source streams:

  • combustion of fuels supplying the heat for reforming or partial oxidation,

  • fuels used as process input in the ammonia production process (reforming or partial oxidation),

  • fuels used for other combustion processes, e.g. with the purpose of producing hot water or steam.

2.1.

CALCULATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

2.1.1.

COMBUSTION EMISSIONS

Emissions from combustion of fuels not used as process input shall be monitored and reported in accordance with Annex II.

2.1.2.

EMISSIONS FROM FUEL USED AS PROCESS INPUT FOR AMMONIA PRODUCTION

Emissions from fuel used as process input shall be monitored and reported in accordance with Annex II.

2.2.

MEASUREMENT OF CO2 EMISSIONS

The measurement guidelines contained in Annexes I and XII shall be applied.
