Calculation of Carbon Footprint of Potash at Dead Sea Works, Israel
Therefore, the CFP of potash produced by DSW is now expected to be lower. The ICL GHG Centre of Excellence has estimated that this transition could save about 20% of the energy-related emissions for potash, thus potentially reducing the CFP to about 0.076 tCO 2 e per tonne of fine potash and 0.130 tCO 2 e per tonne of granulated potash. A more ...
