-The figures for carbon black production in the new German Länder in 1990 were taken from the Statistical Yearbook (Statistisches Jahrbuch) for the Federal Republic of Germany; the figures for 1991 and 1992 were estimated, due to confidentiality requirements.

 From 2005 onwards, Germany uses activity data calculated from the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the Emission Trading System (ETS), delivered by the German emission trading authority (DEHSt), and the default CO<sub>2</sub> emission factor from the IPCC Guidelines 2006 for carbon black production. A comparison of the statistical data and the emission trading data leads to the conclusion, that the statistical data is most probably overestimated. From 2005 onwards, Germany uses activity data calculated from the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of the Emission Trading System (ETS), delivered by the German emission trading authority (DEHSt), and the default CO<sub>2</sub> emission factor from the IPCC Guidelines 2006 for carbon black production.

 For the mercury losses from the Chlor-alkali industry, because of the BAT conclusion for the Chlor-alkali industry the production has stopped in 2017. However, emissions of Hg are still ocurring, because two plants are still producing alcoholates and dithionite and were so far reported by CEFIC to OSPAR based on BAT regulation for Chlor-alkali production. Since the OSPAR convention does not request to report the Hg-emissions from dithionite and alcoholate production, CEFIC no longer reports these emissions to OSPAR.  For the mercury losses from the Chlor-alkali industry, because of the BAT conclusion for the Chlor-alkali industry the production has stopped in 2017.

-Germany plans to identify a new data source for Hg emissions. +Germany is trying to ensure reporting of Hg emissions for that sources.
