In December 2019, the NACAG Secretariat, with support of the public joint stock company Uzkimyosanoat and the state agency Uzhydromet, held a workshop in Tashkent to present the initiative to a variety of stakeholders from the public and private sector.
The about thirty participants of the workshop representing seven different organisations jointly welcomed the offer made by NACAG and agreed to further pursue a cooperation to reduce the nitrous oxide emissions from Uzbekistan’s nitric acid sector. The emission reduction potential in Uzbekistan is estimated to be around two million tons of CO2-equivalent per year.
