Colombia´s Minister of Foreign Relations, Claudia Blum, signed the NACAG Declaration on June 10th, 2020, making Colombia the 4th Latin American country to join the NACAG. Through this signature, Colombia officially declares its support for NACAG´s goal of globally reducing nitrous oxide emissions from the nitric acid production process.
In the next months, the NACAG Secretariat will work alongside national nitric acid producers to evaluate an N2O mitigation project in the four plants currently operating in the country. The nitric acid sector in Colombia has a mitigation potential of around 700.000 tons of CO2eq per year.
