Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government is implementing a comprehensive action plan to control nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in the industrial sector, aiming for significant reductions and technological advancements by 2030 [1][2]. Group 1: Policy and Action Plan - The "Action Plan" aims to enhance N2O emission control policies, improve reduction technology innovation capabilities, and strengthen emission management in the industrial sector by 2030 [1][4]. - The plan specifically targets the adipic acid, nitric acid, and caprolactam industries, which are the primary sources of industrial N2O emissions [2][4]. - By 2021, China's total N2O emissions were 2.102 million tons, accounting for 4.3% of total greenhouse gas emissions, with industrial production contributing 580,000 tons [1]. Group 2: Industry Focus and Potential - The adipic acid, nitric acid, and caprolactam industries account for over 50% of global production capacity, with expected growth in capacity [2]. - The potential for N2O reduction in the industrial sector is estimated at 115 million tons of CO2 equivalent annually if high scenario reductions are achieved globally [2]. Group 3: Environmental and Economic Benefits - Controlling N2O emissions not only mitigates climate change but also offers environmental benefits by reducing other pollutants and economic benefits through resource recovery [4][5]. - The plan encourages investment in N2O recovery and reduction technologies, promoting projects with N2O reduction benefits to be included in financial support programs [4][5]. Group 4: Technological Innovation and Collaboration - Continuous research and development of key technologies for source control, resource utilization, and monitoring are emphasized [5]. - The establishment of a reporting system for N2O emissions from key enterprises and the development of monitoring standards are part of the strategy [5].
