Methods for calculating the emissions of transport in the Netherlands 2023
This report describes the methodologies, emission factors and relevant activity data used to calculate the historical emissions of environmental pollutants from transport in the Netherlands. The emissions are calculated, annually, by the Task Force on Transportation of the Dutch Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR). The resulting data on greenhouse gases are reported, annually, in the National Inventory Report, and air polluting emissions are reported in the Informative Inventory Report. These reports also provide a brief description of the trends in emissions and the methodologies used for calculating emissions. The current report describes the methodologies and underlying data in more detail.
