Direct emission (GHG1) 55 data also includes: • dinitrogen monoxide (N 2 O) in the equivalents of CO 2 , 56 • fluorinated hydrocarbons (hydrofluorocarbons - HFC) in the equivalents of CO 2 57 and • other greenhouse gases (methane and other) in the equivalents of CO 2 58 . The group of direct CO 2 emission sources also includes some other gases used in or arising from our processes. CO 2 is considered an indirect greenhouse gas (GHG2) when it is generated as an equivalent to the purchased electricity, heat and steam at the site where they are produced.

Due to changes in legislation, the Lendava and Menge‰ sites participated in trading with CO 2 emission vouchers in 2013 for the last time. According to the law, we now have the obligation to report to the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning, and to pay an environmental fee for all four sites. In 2012 and 2013, total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions were reduced, mainly due to the change in the conversion factor for the calculation of CO 2 from supplied electricity. This factor depends on the structure of electri- city purchased and is calculated by the supplier. The total volume of direct greenhouse gas emissions, however, was slightly increased compared to the previous year. At the Menge‰ site, the main source of direct CO 2 emissions (GHG1) is natural gas combustion (> 90%) in the burning devices. One of the contributory factors is also the manufac- ture of cutting-edge technology products of higher energy complexity. The increasing emission volumes were also due to new highly complex products. Consequently, emission abatement is our top-priority task. It is mainly achieved through syste- mic energy management, process changes, implementa- tion of new technological solutions in the phase of product development/transfer, and installation of energy- and environ- mentally efficient devices.
