The Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) provides technology based global anthropogenic emissions data of greenhouse gases and air pollutants by country and sector on a 0.1° x 0.1° spatial grid, on a timeline that ranges from 1970 to present days. As part of the constantly ongoing amendment and improvement of the database, a review of the available literature and emission inventory data has been conducted focusing on particulate emissions, with the aim of acquiring a comprehensive array of primary particle matter and carbonaceous particle emission factors (EF).
It was found, that emission factor data from different studies show large variation for a given fuel and technology. Furthermore it is plausible that a certain literature or measurement describes emission factors better in the region where it is originating from. With this in mind, a comparison has been made between the available emission factor datasets in a number of different regions, focusing on the power generation sector. The aim of this experiment is to select the most appropriate EF dataset for a given region.
