Tackling the largest source of industrial N2O emissions: Assessing transformational change of the NACAG Initiative

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a highly potent greenhouse gas (GHG), with a global warming potential 265 times that of carbon dioxide. To assess the transformational impact of the Nitric Acid Climate Action Group (NACAG), an initiative commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety to target the mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions from the nitric acid industry on a global scale, the NACAG Secretariat applied ICAT’s Transformational Change Assessment Guide.
