 In 2018 and 2019 SO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>x</sub>, TSP, PM, CO, NH<sub>3</sub> and Hg emission factors were revised for all large combustion plants. [(UBA 2019: Kristina Juhrich, Rolf Beckers: "Updating the Emission Factors for Large Combustion Plants": https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/publikationen/updating-emission-factors-large-combustion-plants)]) For the reporting year 2016 a complete data set is available. In former times data were not complete. There was no reporting obligation of co-incineration plants. The large combustion data base was also the data basis of the research project (Fichtner et al. 2011) [(Fichtner et al., 2011: W. Fichtner, U. Karl, R. Hartel, D. Balussou: Large and medium combustion plants, including gasturbines: FKZ 3708 42 301, "Fortschreibung der Emissionsfaktoren für Feuerungs- und Gasturbinenanlagen nach 13./17. BImSchV und TA Luft"; DFIU, KIT, and EIFER, 2011; not published)] which was completed in 2011. Since the data set was not complete that time, in some cases a revision until 2004 was necessary. In 2018 and 2019 SO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>x</sub>, TSP, PM, CO, NH<sub>3</sub> and Hg emission factors were revised for all large combustion plants.

-Heavy metal emission factors are mainly the result of a comprehensive study of PRTR data, which provide information about emissions and the quality (measurement/estimated/calculated data) of large combustion plants. The combination of emission from PRTR and the relevant fuel data from a database called "POSO", which contains additional data of large combustion plants, allows the determination of plant-specific emission factors. Due to the fact, that only some plants do really measure heavy metals, the determined emission factors were used for the whole sector (1.A.1.a).+Heavy metal emission factors are mainly the result of a comprehensive study of PRTR data, which provide information about emissions and the quality (measurement/estimated/calculated data) of large combustion plants.

 HCB emission factors of hard coal were taken from the EMEP EEA Guidebook 2009. Black carbon emission factors for all fuels are given by the EMEP EEA Guidebook 2019. HCB emission factors of hard coal were taken from the EMEP EEA Guidebook 2009.

-The first graph shows that the total energy consumption of fossil fuels for public electricity and heat consumption didn't change very much since 1990. The main reasons are the rising electricity demand and a great number of industrial power plants whose emissions are now reported in source category 1.A.1.a. From 1990 to the present time, a slight fuel switch from coal to natural gas was observed. In 2009 fuel consumption of all fossil fuels decreased remarkably as a result of the economic crisis. The economic recovery in 2010 led to an increasing fuel consumption because of the increasing electricity demand. From 2003 biomass consumption rises considerably due to the government aid of renewable energies.+The first graph shows that the total energy consumption of fossil fuels for public electricity and heat consumption didn't change very much since 1990.
