NILU performs regular projects for, and relevant to, the process industry.

Services range from the estimation and environmental measurement of industrial emissions, including fugitive emissions, to assessment and mitigation of impacts on the environment and human health, as well as more fundamental assessments aiding in the environmentally conscious design of processes. NILU’s services have a strong focus on circularity as well as reduction of environmental impacts along the whole supply chain.

NILU’s services for the process industry

  • Monitoring of air pollutant concentrations and deposition around industrial sites
  • Environmental impact assessment using dispersion models and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Identification of recycling potential using mass/material flow analysis (MFA)
  • Development of support tools for environmental design and decision making
  • Circular economy solutions
  • Quantification of contributions from different sources to environmental concentrations above background / baseline conditions
  • Reconstruction of emissions and environmental histories
