Generic petrochemical production

The category at business/processes/production/petrochemical/generic provides data and methodologies for calculating greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of several types of petrochemicals. These methodologies represent the Tier 1 approaches described by the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (NGGIP). The data is based on integrated ethylene dichloride (EDC)/vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plants, rather than stand alone facilities.

See the following subcategories for further details:

• Acrylonitrile production
• Carbon black production
• Ethylene production
• Ethylene dichloride production
• Ethylene oxide production
• Methanol production
• Vinyl chloride monomer production
