Evidence that withstands scrutiny
This is the only CBAM sector where nitrous oxide matters as much as carbon dioxide, and where the abatement performance of a single catalyst can move the reported figure more than any efficiency project.

|---|---|
| Covered goods | Nitric acid and sulphonitric acids, anhydrous and aqueous ammonia, potassium nitrate, nitrogenous fertilisers and compound fertilisers containing two or three of N, P and K. |
| Emissions in scope | Direct and indirect emissions. Greenhouse gases include CO₂ and N₂O, which is why nitric acid plants sit at the centre of the file. |
| Relevant precursors | Ammonia and nitric acid are the precursors to nitrogenous and compound fertilisers. Hydrogen is a precursor to ammonia. |
N₂O measurement at the nitric acid plant. Continuous measurement, abatement uptime and the treatment of start-up and shutdown periods. Averages that quietly exclude upsets do not survive verification.
CO₂ consumed in urea synthesis. The carbon captured from the reformer and bound into urea is a specific accounting treatment, not a general deduction.
Precursor data on purchased ammonia. A blender’s footprint is mostly its suppliers’ footprint, and generic factors will not be accepted where actual values are claimed.
