 The report at hand contains information on Germany's inventories for all years from 1990 to the latest reporting year including descriptions of methods, data sources, QA/QC activities carried out and a trend analysis. The inventory accounts for anthropogenic emissions of SO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>x</sub>, NH<sub>3</sub>, NMVOC, CO, TSP (Total Suspended Particulate matter), PM<sub>10</sub> (particles of size <10μm), PM<sub>2.5</sub> (<2.5μm), BC (Black Carbon), Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Se and Zn, PAH and dioxins. Emission estimates are mainly based on official German statistics, e.g. energy statistics, agricultural statistics and environmental reports from industry. The emission factors used are both nationally developed factors as well as internationally recommended ones. For details please refer to the sector-specific sections. The report at hand contains information on Germany's inventories for all years from 1990 to the latest reporting year including descriptions of methods, data sources, QA/QC activities carried out and a trend analysis.

-Germany uses the [[https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/emep-eea-guidebook-2019|EMEP/EEA Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Guidebook]] for reporting to the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) and to the Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The methodologies used are to some extend also in accordance with the [[https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/index.html|2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories]] (IPCC Guidelines) and, in general, in line with [[https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gp/english|Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories IPCC-NGGIP]] (IPCC Good Practice Guidance).+Germany uses the [[https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/emep-eea-guidebook-2019|EMEP/EEA Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Guidebook]] for reporting to the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) and to the Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

 Besides its CLRTAP obligation and as an EU member state, Germany also has to report the full data set and this inventory report under the updated National Emissions Ceilings Directive (EU/2016/2284). Both submissions are fully aligned in format, timing and content. There are no differences when comparing the submissions presented under the LRTAP convention, the EU's NEC directive and the UNFCCC other than the minor and expected incompatibilities in the reporting of emissions from mobile sources (aviation and marine shipping). Besides its CLRTAP obligation and as an EU member state, Germany also has to report the full data set and this inventory report under the updated National Emissions Ceilings Directive (EU/2016/2284).
