1.A.2.e - Stationary Combustion in Manufacturing Industries and Construction: Food Processing, Beverages and Tobacco

Source category 1.A.2.e - Stationary Combustion in Manufacturing Industries and Construction: Food Processing, Beverages and Tobacco includes emissions from process-combustion systems of the sugar industry. Emissions from CHP plants and steam boiler are reported under 1.A.2.g viii - Stationary Combustion in Manufacturing Industries and Construction: Other.

The source of the fuel inputs consists of the statistics for the manufacturing sector (Statistik 060 - Energieverwendung des produzierenden Gewerbes / energy use in the manufacturing sector), DESTATIS, reporting number 10.81, sugar production - and, for differentiations relative to heat and electricity production, Statistik 067 (DESTATIS).

Reported pollutants are NOx, NMVOC, SO₂, NH₃ and CO.

All particulate matter emissions are reported as process emissions under 2.H.2. But the allocable part of BC emissions is included in 1.A.2.g viii (emissions from CHP plants and steam boilers).

The underlying data used for the emission factors is provided by the report on the research project “Ermittlung und Evaluierung von Emissionsfaktoren für Feuerungsanlagen in Deutschland für die Jahre 1995, 2000 und 2010” (Determination and evaluation of emission factors for combustion systems in Germany for the years 1995, 2000 and 2010“; RENTZ et al, 2002) ¹⁾.

The values for the intermediate years 1996-1999 and 2001-2010 are obtained via linear interpolation; adjusted values for the following years.

For the purpose of improving the data quality 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.

At the moment, no category-specific improvements are planned.
