-With a new method developed within a research project [(Project leader Site: https://oekopol.de/en/archiv-en/?doc=EN_720)] a country-specific method is implemented. So now it is possible to estimate a full-scale-approach for all Buildings and the cars, additionally an estimation of waste container figure.+With a method for estimation the AD developed within a research project [(Project leader Site: https://oekopol.de/en/archiv-en/?doc=EN_720, Publication in prep. as Umweltbundesamt 2021: Research-ID 3717411050, "Wissenschaftlich-methodische Grundlagen der Inventarverbesserung zur Umsetzung der Hinweise aus den Inventarüberprüfungen 2016 und 2017")], and after publication of Tier2-EF within the EEA-Guidebook 2019 [(fires>https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/emep-eea-guidebook-2019/part-b-sectoral-guidance-chapters/5-waste/5-e-other-waste/view)], a country-specific method is implemented and further developed. So now it is possible to estimate a full-scale-approach for all Buildings and the cars, additionally an estimation for waste container fires.

 +  * specific values for number of fires per 1,000 inhabitants,
 +  * differentiated according to building,
 +  * vehicle and container fires,
 +  * Determination of the number of relevant fires per year in Germany in total,
 +  * Differentiation of the fires according to building and vehicle fires,
 +  * Differentiation of fires according to fire scale,
 +  * Differentiation of building fires by building category,
 +  * Conversion of different fires per year to full-scale fires per year,
 +  * Transfer of the results on the number of fires in the form of number of full-scale fires per year differentiated by fire categories.
 +In order to apply the emission factors available from the EMEP/EEA Guidebook, the annual number of building fires is differentiated for detached and undetached, appartment and industrial buildings.

 +=====Emission Factors=====
 +For most of pollutants Tier2 default values from the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook 2019 (as 2016), Chapter 5.E - Other waste, tables 3-2 to 3-6 are applied [(fires)]. Due to gap for emissions factors of black carbon we assume the following analogy: 10% of PM2.5 from Table 3-40, Tier 2 emission factor for conventional stoves, wood and similar wood waste. Regarding containers we use figure of Table 6.22 of Danish IIR [(https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/dk/un/clrtap/iir/envxgkjdw/Denmarks_Informative_Inventory_Report_2019.pdf)].
 +
 +In contrast to building fires, in accordance to the emission factor values provided in the EMEP/EEA Guidebook, no additional differentiation e.g. of vehicle categories is implemented.
 +
 +=====Verification=====
 +For verification purposes, a consultant has checked the Informative Inventory Reports (IIRs) of other countries. In the IIRs of Denmark and Iceland it is additionally stated that the emission factors refer to so-called "full-scale fires" and therefore the activity data (i.e. the number of fires) must be converted to so-called full-scale equivalent fires.
 +\\
 +===== Trends in emissions =====
 +
 +All trends in emissions correspond to trends of AD. No rising trends are to identify, but a jump in 2003 due to many forest fires. Forest fires are part of the total fire AD and affect so the calculation in general.

 +===== Recalculations =====

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