2.L(a) - Handling of Bulk Products
Short description
Under category 2.L(a) - Handling of Bulk Products dust emissions from bulk material handling (loading and unloading) including agricultural bulk materials offsite the fields are reported. Emissions from quarrying and mining of minerals and from point source emissions are excluded.
Methodology
For 1990 to 1996, only simplified estimates without a differentiation of handled materials and products exist. For all following years, emissions are calculated using a tier1 method taking into account detailed data on handled materials and products.
Activity data
Official statistics are of limited use in determining handling of bulk products. There are only transport statistics available providing the amounts of several transported materials.
During a research project carried out by (Müller-BBM) 1), activity data was derived from primary statistical data from the Federal Statistical Office for Germany (Satistisches Bundesamt, Destatis) and the Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, KBA). Here, data on goods transported by railways and ships is gathered by Destatis whereas data for road transport is collected by the KBA.
Here, for all years until 2009, the collection of data for transported goods followed the official NST/R (1968) nomenclature and regulation (Eurostat, 2015a) 2).
As of 2010, statistical data following the newly implemented NST-2007 3),
