Pakarab Fertilizer’s Green Leap: N2O Abatement in Multan

Pakarab Fertilizer’s Green Leap initiates a transformative project aimed at mitigating nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions within the confines of its nitric acid plant in Multan. The primary focus of this endeavor is to curtail the release of N2O, an undesirable by-product in the nitric acid production process.

N2O Reduction at the Source:

The core strategy involves retrofitting the plant with a cutting-edge tertiary N2O abatement unit, strategically positioned in the tail gas stream. This innovative technology ensures a substantial reduction of N2O emissions at the source, preventing their release into the atmosphere.

Environmental Advantages:

Beyond emission reduction, the project champions the preservation of the ozone layer, positioning Pakarab Fertilizer as a key player in the global effort to promote green technology.

Global Impact Through Kyoto Protocol:

The Pakarab Fertilizer’s Green Leap project’s significance is heightened by the absence of worldwide regulations governing N2O emissions from the nitric acid industry before the inception of the Kyoto Protocol. The introduction of market incentives, specifically revenues from the sale of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), provided a crucial financial impetus for plant operators to embrace reduction technologies.

Success Story of Nitric Acid Projects:

The flexible mechanisms embedded in the Kyoto Protocol have played a pivotal role in motivating global nitric acid projects to adopt reduction technologies. This success story underscores the effectiveness of market incentives in driving tangible, permanent, measurable, verifiable, and additional reductions in greenhouse gases.
