From 1990 to the present time, fuel use changed considerably from coal & lignite to natural gas. The consumption of light heating oil decreased as well. As the activity data for light heating oil is based on the sold amount, it fluctuates due to fuel prices and changing storage amounts. The remarkable decrease of hard coal consumption in 2003 is caused by a change in statistics (data source). ==== Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds - NMVOC and Carbon monoxide - CO ==== {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_nmvoc.png?800|Annual NMVOC emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_co.png?800|Annual NMVOC emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} Main driver of the NMVOC and CO emission trends is the decreasing lignite consumption: Since 1990 the fuel use changed from solid fuels causing high NMVOC and CO emissions to gaseous fuels producing much lower emissions. ==== Particulate Matter - PM2.5 & PM10 & TSP ==== {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_pm2.5.png?800|Annual PM2.5 emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_pm10.png?800|Annual PM10 emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_tsp.png?800|Annual TSP emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} The emission trends for PM2.5, PM10, and TSP are also influenced severely by decreasing coal consumption in small combustion plants, particularly in the period from 1990 to 1994. Since 1995 the emission trend hardly changed. Increasing emissions in the last years are caused by the rising wood combustion. ==== Persistent Organic Pollutants ==== {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_pcddf.png?800|Annual PCDD/F emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} {{:sector:energy:fuel_combustion:small_combustion:1a4ai_em_pah.png?800|Annual PAH emissions in NFR 1.A.4.a.i}} The main driver of the POPs emission trend are coal and fuel-wood. PCDD/F emissions decrease from 1990 to 2003 due to decreasing lignite consumption. The use of firewood and therefore PCDD/F emissions from wood combustion show a constant development. ===== Recalculations ===== For the purpose of improving the data quality of the Emission Inventory, National Energy Balances for the years 2003 to 2021 have gone under revisions through fine-tuning of the computational models, consideration of new statistics or re-allocation of activity data, along with other revision mechanisms. These updates led to re-calculations in fuel uses in different sub-categories and in their corresponding emissions. For **pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2021**, please see the recalculation tables following [[general:recalculations:start|chapter 8.1 - Recalculations]]. ===== Planned improvements ===== There is a running Project on new emission factors for small combustion plants using updated data from chimney sweepers and new measurement data.
