The Association for the Catalytic Control of Emissions from Stationary Sources to Air (accessa)
While the problems of emissions from vehicles are widely known there are many other dangerous chemical pollutants from stationary sources including: , volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants ( ). Large industrial facilities are much less controlled by government mandates, yet their emissions can be and last longer in the air. Their effect on the environment damages human health from polluted air and contributes to climate change.
"Non-CO emissions now comprise 25% of global pollutants and have a devastating effect on our health and nature, yet they are poorly controlled and regulated. At we are working to build awareness of achievable reductions in these dangerous emissions through catalytic after-treatment at stationary industrial sources such as power stations and factories," said spokesman . "In fact, energy production and industry count for more than half (58%) of global greenhouse emissions , whilst aviation is less than 3%. Therefore, stationary sources have the greatest potential for highly effective pollution control using existing technology which is ready to install today," he added.
Formed in 2016 works globally with regulators, non-governmental organizations and others to advocate the development, demonstration and deployment of cost-effective emissions solutions.
: Energy Generation; Minerals; Metals; Industrial Manufacturing; Food and Drink; Wood Pulp and Paper; Waste Incineration - with each sector having several categories covering dozens of industries. The work accessa does includes:
- with the European Union industry regulation stakeholders to inform and demonstrate what is technically possible regarding emissions (EU Transparency Register number 490092847162-43)
- directly with non-EU countries to inform and demonstrate what is technically possible regarding emissions and encourage implementation/installation
- the media and the European public on the dangers of emissions (particularly non-CO related) and how catalytic control can have a positive impact on health and the environment
Since its formation estimates its partner companies have reduced approximately - equivalent to millions of tonnes of harmful emissions. Greater awareness and implementation of existing mitigation solutions can significantly improve the air we breathe in the coming years.
