... from various industrial activities that produce emissions The CO2 emissions from mineral, chemical, and not directly the result of energy consumed during the metal production can be estimated simply by applying process and the use of man-made greenhouse gases in appropriate emission factors to national-level producproducts (IPCC, 2006)

... from nitric acid from the IPPU sector for Annex I countries.1 The use and adipic acid production comprise about 7 percent of HFCs as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances of total emissions from the IPPU sector in Annex I countries.2 Nitric acid production emits N2O as a byin a variety of industrial applications is by far the largest source of HFC emissions, accounting for about 86 per- product during the catalytic oxidation of ammonia, and cent of total emissions from the sector, and their usage adipic acid production (most of which takes place in a is growing rapidly. A smaller, but significant source of few plants in the United States and Europe)

The quantity of CH4 that is Carbon Dioxide oxidized in the landfill's top layer and/or is recovered and combusted is then subtracted from the calculated Carbon dioxide is a relatively minor source of emissions value. g reenhouse gas emissions from the waste sector, The key source of uncertainty in estimates of CH4 accounting for about 4 percent of total emissions (in from SWDS is the activity data relating to the quanti- terms of CO2 equivalents)

Large uncertainties are associated with estimates default values for the dry matter content, total carbon of N2O emissions from wastewater handling, and the content, fossil carbon fraction, and oxidation factor for major source of uncertainty is the default emission facthe waste (IPCC, 2006)
