Short description

Emissions from storage consider all refinery products. According to the EMEP guidebook, fuel-related emissions are reported under 1.B.2. (see Chapter 3., 1.B.2a Oil ). Emissions from other mineral oil products that are not used as fuel (like naphtha, methanol etc.) are reported separately here.

Method

A distinction of mineral oil products is only made between fuels and naphtha. Based on the individual annual amount for these two subcategories, a split factor is calculated.

Activity data

The annual production of naphtha through the time series is listed in Table 1 below.

Emission factors

The emission factor used for NMVOC was determined by evaluating emission declarations from refineries for the period 2004 through 2016, in the framework of a research project (Bender & von Müller, 2019)1). Since no data was available for earlier years, the data obtained this way was used for all years as of 1990.

Table 2: Emission factor of NMVOC from storage of petroleum products

Source of emission factor Substance Unit Value
Storage of liquid petroleum products in tank-storage facilities outside of refineries NMVOC g/m³ 100
Storage of gaseous petroleum products in tank-storage facilities outside of refineries NMVOC g/m³ 500

Recalculations

Emissions of NMVOC from other mineral oil products that are not used as fuel is calculated and shown in Table 3.
