Emission focus areas for tracker
Ammonia emissions can be divided into two main categories:
1. Energy-related emissions primarily due to fossil fuel use to produce the required process heat and pressure for production of hydrogen.
2. Process emissions stem mainly from using fossil fuels as feedstock in the hydrogen production process.
