Netherlands Informative Inventory Report 2009

This IIR outlines such methods for estimating emissions as the extrapolation of emissions from individual companies to sectors. Estimations are given in more detail for sector and subsector for the key source categories (e.g. emission calculation from road transport in vehicle categories and road types).

The 2009 submission includes emission data from the Netherlands for the years 1990 up to and including 2007. The emission data, with the exception of PM_2.5 emissions, are extracted from the Dutch Emission Inventory system (PER). These data are calculated from the PM₁₀ data and have not yet been incorporated in the PER.

In the 1990 – 2007 period emissions of all gases presented in this report showed a downward trend. The major overall drivers for this trend are emission reductions in the industrial sectors, cleaner fuels and cleaner cars.

Based on methodological improvements (such as improvement of activity data), the historical data for 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2003-2007 are recalculated annually in the Dutch inventory. Data for other years (1991-1994, 1996-1999, 2001 and 2002) have been based on interpolations.
