Short description
| NFR-Code | Name of Category | Method | AD | EF | Key Category 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.C.5 | Lead Production | T1 | AS | D, CS | no key category |
Within this NFR sub-category, SO2, PM2.5, PM10, TSP, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, PCDD/F and PCB emissions from the production of lead are reported.
Methodological issues
Activity data
The production figures for the year 2016 were taken from the annual statistical report of the German association for non-ferrous metals [1].
Emission factors
The emission factors are either default values according to the 2016 EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook [2] or determined in several research projects. For heavy metals (HM), the applied emission factors are derived from [3].
Table 1: Tier1 emission factors applied for entire time series| Pollutant | EF | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| SOx | 2.050 | kg/t |
| PM2.5 | 0.0175 | kg/t |
| PM10 | 0.02125 | kg/t |
| TSP | 0.025 | kg/t |
| As | 0.041179 | g/t |
| Cd | 0.019767 | g/t |
| Hg | 0.324515 | g/t |
| Pb | 4.506295 | g/t |
| PCDD/F | 0.34 | µg/t |
Recalculations
Activity Data: No changes compared to Submission 2017.
Emission Factors: Recalculations have been carried out for SOx and all reported heavy metals due to the application of new emission factor values (see information on emission factors above).
For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates reported for Base Year and 2015, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following chapter 8.1 - Recalculations.
Planned improvements
At the moment, no category-specific improvements are planned.
