European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) diffuse air emission datasets.

The set of 32 maps shows the distribution of air pollutant emissions from diffuse sources. The data is based on a scale of 5 by 5 km grid and includes details of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM10). It complements existing data on emissions from individual industrial plants included in the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR).

Copyright holder: Directorate-General for Environment (DG ENV).

Methodology:

The diffuse emissions are allocated using GIS overlay techniques for distribution into grid cells with a spatial resolution of 5x5km². The dataset is then transformed into vector polygons and projected into the E-PRTR WGS84 standard projection. A complete and detailed methodology report covering each pollutant and sector is available within the above methodology report.

Additional information

Article 8 of the Regulation sets the condition for the Commission, assisted by the European Environment Agency, to include in the European PRTR information on releases from diffuse sources using an adequate geographical disaggregation and to provide information on the methodology. The current datasets include information on emissions from road transport, shipping, aviation, heating of buildings, agriculture and small businesses (diffuse sources).
The maps show spatially distributed emissions for the year 2008, based upon sectoral emissions data officially reported by countries to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Further information on diffuse source releases into water and soil will be available in coming years.
