The
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German
implementing organization which provides services worldwide in the field of
international cooperation for sustainable development.
The
German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear
Safety (BMU) initiated the NACAG (Nitric Acid Climate Action Group), a global
initiative with the main goal of mitigating global N2O emission in the nitric
acid producing sector. Its vision is to incentivize the installation of
appropriate abatement technologies in all nitric acid production plants
worldwide. The initiative provides all governments and plant operators with
guidance and information on technological and regulatory issues regarding N2O
abatement. Moreover, NACAG makes available financial support for the
installation and operation of abatement technology. This financial support is
subject to the condition that partner countries take full responsibility for
the mitigation activities after 2023 – for example in the context of their
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
BMU
has commissioned GIZ to implement the Secretariat of the NACAG. Its main task
is to coordinate the implementation of all activities related to the
initiative. This comprises technical support to both governments and companies
as well as financial support to companies. Indonesia has already joined the
NACAG initiative by signing the NACAG Declaration. This makes Indonesia
eligible for technical support. The next step would be the signing of the
political commitment to permanently reduce N2O emissions, which would render
Indonesia eligible for financial support.
