Review of emission inventories

At the 38th session of Executive Body (EB) to EMEP (Geneva, December 2018) the document Updated methods and procedures for the review of emission inventories    was adopted (Decision 2018/1) with amendments proposed by EU, US and Canada. This document shall be used for the review of submitted emission inventories from 2019 onwards.  The Appendix on Technical Revisions provides  guidance on the quantification of  necessary technical  corrections if the data are found to be inconsistent with recommended methodologies of the joint  EMEP/EEA air pollutant  emission inventory Guidebook or where the emission estimates are not provided for an NFR source category. 

The review of emission inventories is perfomed in close cooperation with Parties to the Convention. 

Information on the applied review methods is provided in the regularly  updated Methodology report.
