 Currently, about 13 million m<sup>3</sup> of petrol fuels are transported in Germany via railway tank cars. This transport volume entails a maximum of 300,000 handling processes (loading and unloading). Some 5,000 to 6,000 railway tank cars for transport of petrol are in service. Transfer/handling (filling/unloading) and tank losses result in emissions of only 1.4 kt VOC per year. The emissions situation points to the high technical standards that have been attained in railway tank cars and pertinent handling facilities. On the whole, oil consumption is expected to stagnate or decrease. As a result, numbers of oil storage facilities can be expected to decrease as well. Currently, about 13 million m<sup>3</sup> of petrol fuels are transported in Germany via railway tank cars.

-**Carbon monoxide** emissions occur during the production of coke and charcoal. The rising emissions are mainly attributed to the increasing production of charcoal and coke. A trend-reversing issue was the decommissioning of outdated plants in the 1990s. Flaring in oil refineries is the main source for carbon monoxide emission in category 1.B.2. In the early 1990s, emissions from distribution of town gas were also taken into account in calculations. In 1990, the town-gas distribution network accounted for a total of 16 % of the entire gas network. Of that share, 15 % consisted of grey cast iron lines and 84 % consisted of steel and ductile cast iron lines. Since 1997 no town gas has been distributed in Germany's gas mains. Town-gas was the only known source of CO emissions in category 1.B.2.b.+**Carbon monoxide** emissions occur during the production of coke.

In addition, it has been determined that the charcoal-production emissions reported to date were being doubly counted, since they were already included in 1.A.1.a.

-Programme (UNEP). In consequence, methane emissions factors were changed and therewith the NMVOC split. These changes are described in the publication: [[https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/publikationen/aktualisierung-der-emissionsfaktoren-fuer-methan|External link]]. +

-Furthermore, the emission factors from lignite mining have been revised. In addition, mercury emissions from oil and gas production have been implemented. +
