Site Visit Objectives:
In its chemicals activities the Novara production facility used to emit 25000 ton per year of Nitrous Oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas with a Global Warming Potential 310 times greater than that of CO2.
Radici Chimica has therefore developed a new industrial process that allowed to cut N2O emissions by more then 90%.
During the site visit the new technology for Nitrous Oxide catalytic abatement will be showed.
