-NMVOC **total emissions** show a falling trend from 1990 onwards, with emission reductions of 71.2% between 1990 and 2019 with a bump in 2010 after the dent of 2008 and 2009 due to the economic situation. The last few years show emissions stagnating between 2014 and 2019+NMVOC **total emissions** show a falling trend from 1990 onwards, with emission reductions of 73.4% between 1990 and 2020 with a bump in 2010 after the dent of 2008 and 2009 due to the economic situation. The last few years show a slight yearly emission reduction of about 3% per year
-The Main Drivers for NMVOC emissions are **Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A)** with about half of total 1990 emissions and a 91% reduction between 1990 and 2019. In the Fuel Combustion category, **Road Transport (NFR 1.A.3.b)** is responsible for about three quarters of the 1990 Fuel Combustion emissions, with **Passenger Cars (NFR 1.A.3.b.i)** emitting nearly all of it. Reductions of about 94% in those categories between 1990 and 2019 are mainly due to increasingly stricter regulations, especially incentives for automobile users to retrofit/buy cars with catalytic converters.+The Main Drivers for NMVOC emissions are **Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A)** with about half of total 1990 emissions and a 92% reduction between 1990 and 2020.

 Furthermore the implementation of the Technical Instruction on Air Quality Control (TA-Luft 2002), to decreases in emissions from **petrol storage and from fuelling of motor vehicles (1.B.2.a.v)** - as a result of implementation of the 20th and 21st Ordinances on the Execution of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchV) - and to reduced petrol consumption play a major role in the reduction of NMVOC emissions within the category **Fugitive Emissions from fossil fuels (NRF 1.B.2)**. Furthermore the implementation of the Technical Instruction on Air Quality Control (TA-Luft 2002), to decreases in emissions from **petrol storage and from fuelling of motor vehicles (1.B.2.a.v)** - as a result of implementation of the 20th and 21st Ordinances on the Execution of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchV) - and to reduced petrol consumption play a major role in the reduction of NMVOC emissions within the category **Fugitive Emissions from fossil fuels (NRF 1.B.2)**.
-Substantial emissions also come from **Non-Energy Products from Fuels (NFR 2.D)**, emitting 31% of total 1990 emissions and a 54% reduction between 1990 and 2019.+Substantial emissions also come from **Non-Energy Products from Fuels (NFR 2.D)**, emitting 31% of total 1990 emissions and a 59% reduction between 1990 and 2020.
