Pollutants and years – Summary of annual emission reporting

As a minimum, data for the base year of the relevant protocol and from the year of entry into force of that protocol to the latest year should be reported.

 A. National total emissions & emissions by NFR source category:

  1. Main pollutants – SOx, NOx, NH3, NMVOC, CO:  1990- (x-2)

  2. Particulate matter – PM2.5, PM10, TSP, (BC):  2000- (x-2)

  3. Heavy metals – Pb, Cd, Hg / (As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Se, Zn): 1900- (x-2)

  4. POPs – PCDD/PCDF, PAHs (1), HCB, PCBs ; 1990- (x-2)

(1) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) {benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, total 1-4}

B. Activity data by source category :  1990- (x-2)
C. Gridded data and LPS (4-yearly)

Every four years from 2017 onwards Parties shall report for the year x-2 updated aggregated sectors (GNFR14) gridded emissions and  LPS emissions.

Gridded emissions in a grid of 0.1 x 0.1 long/ lat degrees shall be reported for all substances referred in paragraph 7 of the Reporting Guidelines.

LPS pollutant thresholds are listed in table 1 of the reporting guidelines. LPS reporting is encouraged to include information on stack height class categories as defined in table 2 of the reporting guidelines.

Parties are encouraged to update their gridded and LPS data (years 1990, 1995, 2000,  2005, 2010, 2015, 2019) and report annually where changes in spatial patterns have occurred, so that the EMEP models can represent the most up-to-date information.

D. Projected emissions and projected activity data (4-yearly)

Parties to the Convention are strongly encouraged to report their latest available projections (WM and WaM) by 15 March.

Parties to the Gothenburg Protocol within the geographical scope of EMEP shall regularly update their projections and report every four years from 2015 onward.

Parties to the other protocols are encouraged to regularly update their projections and report every four years from 2015.

Quantitative information underlying emission projections should be reported for the projection target year and the historic year chosen as the starting year for the projections.

  1. National total emission projections: SOx, NOx, NH3, NMVOC, PM2.5 and BC where appropriate for years 2025, 2030, and where available also for 2040 and 2050
  2.  Emission projections by NFR14: SOx, NOx, NH3, NMVOC, PM2.5 and BC where appropriate for years 2025, 2030, and where available also for  2040 and 2050
  3.  Projected activity data by NFR14: years 2025, 2030, and where available also for 2040 and 2050
