For the first time in 2017 and then every four years, EU Member States must report spatially distributed emissions (raster data) with a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1° (longitude-latitude). Large point sources (LPS) must be reported every 4 years, starting in 2017. Reporting is mandatory for agro-industrial and industrial activities whose annual emissions exceed certain thresholds, which correspond to those for emissions reporting under //the E-PRTR Regulation (European Regulation (EC) No 166/ | For the first time in 2017 and then every four years, EU Member States must report spatially distributed emissions (raster data) with a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1° (longitude-latitude).

+ | |||
+ | === Quality checks === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Various quality checks of the data were carried out before submission. The data from the ePRTR database was cleaned, processed and missing data was added. Then, the data was transferred into a suitable format (Excel template under LRTAP convention). Before the data could be transformed into the appropriate format for submission, several data preconditions were determined. Furthermore, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Calculation of the sum of LPS emissions and comparison with the NFR tables | ||
+ | * Unit mistakes checks | ||
+ | * Outlier checks | ||
+ | * Verification of missing information in the data (such as ID’s, stack heights, GNFR, coordinates, | ||
+ | * Checking whether the coordinates are within Germany | ||
+ | * Checking whether there are duplicates in the coordinates | ||
+ | For example, all point sources identified as outliers in the box plots below were checked individually to be correct: | ||
