Emissions occurring in this sector in Germany derive from the following production processes which are analogous to the IPCC category (Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Reference Manual (Volume 3)):

Alcoholic beverages

  • Wine
  • Beer
  • Spirits

Bread and other foods

  • Meat, fish and poultry
  • Sugar
  • Margarine as well as hard and hardened fats
  • Cake, cookies and breakfast cereals
  • Bread
  • Animal feedstuffs
  • Coffee roasting

Following pollutants are reported:

  • volatile organic compounds (NMVOC),
  • particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10 and TSP).

Pursuant to the 1993 Classification of Economic Activities (WZ 93), the food and beverage industry is divided into nine groups and a total of 33 classes. Governmental statistical evaluations are oriented to this classification. The German food industry includes an especially large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); nearly 80 percent of its companies have fewer than 100 employees, and only 3 per cent have more than 500 employees (BpB, 2002, p.51).

Energy related emissions from the sugar industry are reported under category 1.A.2.e.

Methodology

The Inventory Database (CSE) lists activity rates (produced amounts) and emission factors for the relevant sectors. The activity rates for the various products / product groups, with the exception of that for feedstuffs, were obtained from the Federal Statistical Office 1), 2), 3)

Emission factors

For emissions calculations, country-specific emission factors were used where available. EF were evaluated and updated by a national research study 4). Otherwise, the emission factors recommended by IPCC and CORINAIR were used.

Pollutant Name of Category EF Unit Trend
NOₓ clinker burning 0.5 kg/t falling
SO₂ clinker burning 0.25 kg/t falling
NMVOC clinker burning 0.046 kg/t constant

Pb clinker burning 0.016 g/t falling
Cd clinker burning 0.004 g/t falling
PCB clinker burning 28.0 µg/t constant
PCDD clinker burning 0.040 µg/t constant
B(a)P clinker burning 1.0 mg/t constant
PAH clinker burning 240 mg/t constant
TSP clinker grinding 0.046 kg/t falling
PM₁₀ clinker grinding 0.041 kg/t falling
PM₂.₅ clinker grinding 0.037 kg/t falling

Emissions of the food and drink industry are reported, in summary form, in the inventory in of the sectoral report for industrial processes. Emissions in detail for the resp. products are presented following Pictures . All trends in emissions correspond to trends of emission factors in table above. No rising trends are to identify.

Recalculations

With activity data and emission factors remaining unrevised, no recalculations have been carried out compared to last year's submission.

For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2018, please see the pollutant specific recalculation tables following chapter 8.1 - Recalculations.

Planned improvements

For purposes of updating the EF project has started in 2020, but results are planned not before 2021 5).
