 For the **energy sector**, the most important data sources for determination of activity rates are the "Energiebilanzen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (Energy Balances of the Federal Republic of Germany, hereinafter referred to as: Energy Balance), which are published by the [[https://ag-energiebilanzen.de/|Working Group on Energy Balances]] (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen, AGEB). An energy balance provides an overview of the links within Germany's energy sector, and it supports breakdowns in accordance with fuels and source categories. An energy balance receives data from a wide range of other sources. As a result, publication of energy balances is subject to some delay. For the **energy sector**, the most important data sources for determination of activity rates are the "Energiebilanzen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (Energy Balances of the Federal Republic of Germany, hereinafter referred to as: Energy Balance), which are published by the [[https://ag-energiebilanzen.de/|Working Group on Energy Balances]] (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen, AGEB).

 Along with the Energy Balance, the Working Group on Emissions Balances (AGEB) also publishes "Evaluation Tables for the Energy Balance" (Auswertungstabellen zur Energiebilanz (hereinafter referred to as: evaluation tables). In the area of fuels, these tables only list those fuels with the highest activity levels and aggregate lower activity levels to form sum values (such as other solid fuels). Breakdowns according to specific source categories are limited largely to source categories that consume final energy (such as manufacturing sector or transport). Some source categories are not listed (such as production of district heat). The evaluation tables are published relatively promptly (in the summer of the relevant subsequent year). The tables can be used to determine aggregated activities at the source category levels for the most commonly used fuels. Further disaggregation can be achieved via formation of relevant differences using other statistics. Along with the Energy Balance, the Working Group on Emissions Balances (AGEB) also publishes "Evaluation Tables for the Energy Balance" (Auswertungstabellen zur Energiebilanz (hereinafter referred to as: evaluation tables).

-With the consumption data coming from the National Energy Balances and the Official Oil Data of the [[https://www.bafa.de/EN|Federal Office of Economics and Export Control]] (Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle - BAFA), for **mobile sources** different models have been used for computing the extensive basic data from generally accessible statistics, special surveys, and measurements. - Here, for estimating emissions from civil aviation (1.A.3.a), IEF have been derived from the newly implemented TREMOD-AV (TREMOD Aviaton), using flight data from the [[https://www.destatis.de/|German Statistical Office]] (Statistisches Bundesamt, DESTATIS). - For road transport (1.A.3.b), railways (1.A.3.c), and inland navigation (1.A.3.d ii) implied emission factors (IEF) for part of the pollutants are calculated within TREMOD ("Transport Emission Estimation Model"; IFEU), whereas another model is used for national and international maritime navigation, fishing (1.A.4.c iii) and military navigation (1.A.5.b iii). A precise description of the data sources for emission factors used within TREMOD for road transport is provided by the [[https://www.hbefa.net/e/index.html|"Handbook of Emission Factors for Road Transport"]] ("Handbuch Emissionsfaktoren des Straßenverkehrs"; version 3.2; INFRAS, 2014). - For emissions from offroad vehicles and machinery as used in 1.A.2.g vii, 1.A.4.a ii, b ii and c ii, IEF have been computed within TREMOD-MM (TREMOD Mobile Machinery). +== mobile combustion == 
-Data for calculating **fugitive emissions** principially originates from associations as the German Hard-Coal Association (GVSt), the Association of the German Petroleum Industry (Mineralölwirtschaftsverband, MWV) and the Federal association of the natural gas, oil and geothermal energy industries (BVEG).+ 
 +Basically, as already mentioned above, annual data on domestic fuel deliveries is available from (i) the National Energy Balances (as compiled by the Working-Group on National Energy Balances, AGEB) with the specific information on mineral-oil and its products coming from (ii) the Official Oil Data of the [[https://www.bafa.de/EN|Federal Office of Economics and Export Control]] (Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle - BAFA). 
 + 
 +However, to further distribute and allocate the aggregated fuel deliveries onto the different mobile sources, a variety of models has been developed that are now used for computing the extensive basic data from generally accessible statistics, special surveys, and measurements.  
 +   
 +For __road transport (1.A.3.b), railways (1.A.3.c), and inland navigation (1.A.3.d ii)__ specific activity data and country-specific implied emission factors at least for regulated pollutants are calculated within __TREMOD ("Transport Emission Estimation Model"__; IFEU). Here, for 1.A.3.b, highly detailled data on annual mileage together with information on fleet composition and new-registration numbers are applied to to allocate the statistically recorded fuel sales to different vehicle types and classes as well as the individual Euro standards. A precise description of the data sources for emission factors used within TREMOD for road transport is provided by the [[https://www.hbefa.net/e/index.html|"Handbook of Emission Factors for Road Transport"]] (version 4.2, 2022). 
 +For estimating emissions from __civil aviation (1.A.3.a)__, specific fuel consumption data for domestic and international flights further distinguished into landing/take-off (L/TO) and cruise phase as well as corresponding implied emission factors are derived from __TREMOD Aviaton (TREMOD AV)__, a standalone module of TREMOD using flight data from the [[https://www.destatis.de/DE/Home/_inhalt.html|German Statistical Office]] (Statistisches Bundesamt, DESTATIS).  
 +Another model (__E.M.M.A. - Emission Modelling for Maritime Activities__) is used for national and international maritime navigation, fishing (1.A.4.c iii) and military navigation (1.A.5.b iii) using ship-specific movement data (AIS) for estimating specific fuel consumptions and implied emission factors for domestic trips.  
 +Finally, for emissions from __offroad vehicles and machinery as used in 1.A.2.g vii, 1.A.4.a ii, b ii and c ii__, specific consumption data and IEF are computed within TREMOD Mobile Machinery (TREMOD MM), yet another standalone module of the aforementioned TREMOD.

 +== fugitive emissions from fuels == 
 +Data for calculating **fugitive emissions** principially originates from the Association Fuels & Energie (en2x) and the Federal association of the natural gas, oil and geothermal energy industries (BVEG).
