This dataset contains the location and administrative data for the largest industrial complexes in Europe, releases and transfers of regulated substances to all media, waste transfers as well as more detailed data on energy input and emissions for large combustion plants. These data are reported to EEA under Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) 2010/75/EU Commission Implementing Decision 2018/1135 and the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 Commission Implementing Decision 2019/1741. The dataset brings together data formerly reported separately under E-PRTR Regulation Art.7 and under IED Art.72. Additional reporting requirements under the IED are also included.

European data

Industrial Reporting database

This database covers data for the largest industrial complexes in Europe. It contains releases and transfers of regulated substances to all media, waste transfers reported under the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) from 2007 to 2019 and as well as more detailed data on energy input and emissions for large combustion plants (reported under IED Art.72) from 2016 to 2019. It contains by EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The provided files represent the status of the EEA Industrial Reporting database as of 15 March 2021. Please refer to the "Additional information" section below for further details.

Additional information

Data completeness

A number of reporting countries have to date not submitted some of the most recent data.

Norway and Slovakia did not report data under the EU Registry. 

Data for reporting year 2018 for Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, and Portugal is incomplete.

Data for reporting year 2019 for Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Malta, Portugal and Switzerland is incomplete.

The dataset will be updated and a new version will be made available as soon as missing reporting has been submitted.

This dataset is based on information reported on two separate reporting obligations (EU Registry and E-PRTR/LCP). 

The update frequency is annually as a minimum.

Hierarchy

Inclusion of historic data reported under E-PRTR and IED

EEA, supported by its ETC (ETC/ATNI) mapped data historically reported to the E-PRTR and IED to the new data model behind the dataset at hand.

This was possible by using as starting point administrative data reported under EU Registry, E-PRTR and Large Combustion Plants for reporting year 2017. Using either the FacilityID or the PlantID a correspondence with the Facility and the InstallationPart as defined in the EU Registry has been made. 

Thematic data regarding pollutant releases and transfers as well as waste transfers reported to the E-PRTR for reporting years 2007 to 2017 are therfore incorporated into this dataset.

Similarly data regarding fuel inputs, emissions and others formerly made available via the Large Combustion Plant inventory are also incorporated for reporting years 2016 and 2017.

The dataset resulting from this mapping project are currently shared with Countries pending their final confirmation. 

Due to the increasing size of the information published the MS Access database is compressed with 7zip. The Excel user friendly tables have been split in 4 different files. 

Your feedback

This is the first time that EEA is making available data reported via the two new reporting data flows and including historical data as well.

We would appreciate your feedback regarding the user-friendliness of the database provided. Your feedback regarding for example the queries included for your convenience would be very much appreciated.

Please contact us as industry.helpdesk@eea.europa.eu to provide your feedback.

Figure Water pollutant releases changes from 2010 to 2019 for the EU Member States The table shows the scale of percentage changes in pollutant releases to water in EU-27 Member States from 2010 to 2019.
Figure Trends in pollutant releases to air from industry in Europe This figure shows the trends in pollutant releases into air in the EU-27 from 2010 to 2019, using 2010 release values as a reference. In addition, gross value added (GVA) from the industry sector is presented. GVA, gross value added; NMVOC, non-methane volatile organic compound; NOx, nitrogen oxides; PM10, particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 μm; SOx, sulphur oxides. EU-27 Member States as of 2021. The European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) does not contain data for Turkey, which is not covered by the E-PRTR Regulation. GVA is used as a proxy for the economic activity of industry in Europe, accounting for inflation, based on 2010 values.
Figure Change in pollutant releases into air in EU-27 countries in the period 2010-2019 The table shows the changes in pollutant releases in EU-27 Member States from 2010 to 2019. Croatia reported data from 2014, therefore the comparison is made against 2014 emissions. Due to a lack in reporting, some gap filling has been made for the following countries: Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal with 2017 data, Italy and the Netherlands with 2018 data. Due to questionable quality for some data reported on CO2 and NOx emissions from France in 2019, some data points have been replaced by 2018 comparable values until a correction is provided; NOx emissions from the Netherlands have been replaced by 2017 data due to questionable reporting until a correction is made.
Figure Emission reductions for dust, nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide from large combustion plants in the EU-27 Reduction of emissions from large combustion plants since 2004, the first year with reported data, across the three reportable pollutants under the Directive on Large Combustion Plants and its successor, the Directive on industrial emissions. Data are for large combustion plants covered by the Large Combustion Plants Directive (until 2015) and the Industrial Emissions Directive (as from 2016). Data from Croatia are only available as of 2009, while its influence in the overall EU-27 numbers is negligible. Data as of 2016 include a small number of additional plants, due to changes in the scope of reporting, so emissions are not fully comparable before and after 2016. Data were processed to remove outliers and gap-fill missing data.
Figure Fuel consumption trends, per fuel type, in EU-27 Data on large combustion plants covered by the Large Combustion Plants Directive (until 2015) and the Industrial Emissions Directive (as from 2016). The data was processed to remove outliers and gap-fill missing data.

Used in indicators

Indicator Specification Industrial pollutant releases to water in Europe This indicator tracks trends of industrial emissions of selected water pollutants. The indicator includes releases of certain heavy metals (Cadmium, Nickel, Mercury and Lead), nutrients (Nitrogen and Phosphorus) and a global parameter to indicate the load of organic matter (total organic carbon). These trends are overlaid to the trend in gross value added by industry, as an indicator of the economic contribution of the sector.  The aggregated EU-27 trends feature in Figure 1 while country specific trend changes are offered in Figure 2. The geographical coverage comprises the 27 EU Member States (EU-27) (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden). The temporal coverage is 2010-2019. Data were reported to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR).
Indicator Specification Industrial pollutant releases to air in Europe This indicator tracks trends of industrial emissions of selected air pollutants. The indicator includes releases of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), the most significant greenhouse gas, acidifying pollutants (sulphur oxides (SO x ), nitrogen oxides (NO x )), and other pollutants that damage human health and the environment, such as particulate matter (PM 10 ), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and heavy metals (Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg). These trends are presented together with the trend of gross value added (GVA) by industry, as an indicator of the economic contribution of the sector.  The aggregated EU-27 trends feature in Figure 1 while country specific trend changes are offered in Figure 2. The geographical coverage comprises the 27-EU Member States (EU-27) (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden). The temporal coverage is 2010-2019. Data were reported to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR).
