Improving the estimation of air pollutant emissions from small-scale combustion sector
The state-of-art, updates and improvements in EDGAR database for EU27
The small-scale combustion sector including residential heating and other small-scale combustion activities, can impact air quality and affect climate change.
The aim of this report is to provide insights on the EU27 small-scale combustion sector from the point of view of fuel consumption, air pollutant emissions as well as improvement done in the estimation of main air pollutants from this sector.
Enhancing the accuracy of air pollutant emission estimates from the small-scale combustion sector holds significant importance. This is not only due to the sector's impact on air quality and climate change, but also to gain insights into its relative contribution when compared to other activities like larger-scale energy production, transport, industrial processes, agriculture and waste management. Understanding this contribution is important for comprehensive environmental assessments and informed decision-making.
The work done will contribute to the improvement of independent estimation of air pollutant emission from small-scale combustion sector combining the relevant information provided by countries with that coming from modelling and from the international guidelines. As such, the estimation become more coherent in understanding the air pollution dynamics and supporting the policy development.
