20.14  Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

active

Includes

• manufacture of basic organic chemicals:
  • acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated
  • cyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated
  • acyclic and cyclic alcohols
  • mono- and polycarboxylic acids, including acetic acid
  • other oxygen-function compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, quinones and dual or poly oxygen-function compounds
  • synthetic glycerol
  • nitrogen-function organic compounds, including amines
  • fermentation of sugar cane, corn or similar to produce alcohol and esters
  • other organic compounds, including wood distillation products (e.g. charcoal), etc.
• manufacture of synthetic aromatic products
• manufacture of methane, not for the provision as a gaseous fuel through a permanent supply network
• distillation of coal tar
• manufacture of ethyl alcohol, other than for bioethanol fuel
• manufacture of refrigerant gases

Excludes

• manufacture of plastics in primary forms, see 20.16
• manufacture of synthetic rubber in primary forms, see 20.17
• manufacture of crude glycerol, see 20.41
• manufacture of liquid biofuels (e.g. bioethanol fuel), see 20.51

What changed from NACE Rev. 2

Per the official Eurostat correspondence table (NACE Rev. 2 → NACE Rev. 2.1):

Content moved from 20.11 includes:

• manufacture of refrigerant gases

Content moved from 20.14 includes:

• manufacture of chemicals using basic processes, such as thermal cracking and distillation. The output of these processes are usually separate chemical elements or separate chemically defined organic compounds
• manufacture of basic organic chemicals: • acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated • cyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated • acyclic and cyclic alcohols • mono- and polycarboxylic acids, including acetic acid • other oxygen-function compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, quinones and dual or poly oxygen-function compounds • synthetic glycerol • nitrogen-function organic compounds, including amines • fermentation of sugarcane, corn or similar to produce alcohol and esters • other organic compounds, including wood distillation products (e.g. charcoal) etc.
• manufacture of synthetic aromatic products
