Are we moving in the right direction?
Norway’s ammonia emissions rose by about 14 per cent from 1990 to 1996. This was mainly a result of higher emissions from private cars fitted with three-way catalytic convertors, but also increased agricultural activity and changes in the storage and use of manure.
After 1996 emissions have varied, but with a declining trend. In 2010 total emission were a little under 23 000 tonnes. Under the Gothenburg Protocol, Norway’s emission ceiling for ammonia is 23 000 tonnes.
