Ammonia: Air Pollution

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effect on tonnage of primary emissions of ammonia in the UK in 2022 of the agreements reached in October 2021 and January 2022 between CF Industries or its subsidiaries and major CO2 users.

Answer

No such assessment has been made. Industrial installations in England must comply with strict emission limits, and cannot operate unless issued with an environmental permit. The Environment Agency performs regular inspections and audits to ensure installations are complying with the requirements of the permit.
