ETC/ATNI Report 2019/6: EEA-33 Industrial Emissions Country Profiles. Methodology report.

The industrial emissions country profiles present the emissions of air and water pollutants and greenhouse gases in fact sheets for each country. The significance of industry, given by gross value added, energy consumption and water use, as well as generation of waste are added to the presentation. The trend in emissions and waste generation are given in relative numbers.

The scope of industry in this respect includes in short all industrial activities reported under the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) excluding agriculture (activity code 7.(a) and 7.(b)). The data sources to the country profiles include Eurostat, the E-PRTR, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reported under the Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (MMR) and air pollutant emission inventories reported under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP).
