 Emission factors are available for different fuel types and combustion technologies. The distinction between refinery power plants and bottom heating in refinery processes is necessary since bottom heating systems have considerably higher specific emissions. Emission factors are available for different fuel types and combustion technologies.

-The maximum production of petroleum products to date occurred in 2005, as a result of a shortfall in capacity in the USA, which led to an increase in imports. Thereafter, production decreased by reducing excess capacities all over Europe.+A substantial production of petroleum products occurred in 2005, as a result of a shortfall in capacity in the USA, which led to an increase in imports.

-At the time of compiling the inventory, national energy balance is only available provisionally. Therefore, the finalization of the Energy Balance for 2022 led to recalculations.  In addition, to ensure that consumption of refinery fuels in the official mineral oil statistics is consistently included in the inventory reallocation of fuel data between 1.A.1.b and 1.A.2.g viii took place for the years 2003-2022.+At the time of compiling the inventory, national energy balance is only available provisionally. Therefore, the finalization of the energy balance for 2023 led to recalculations. Moreover, for the purpose of improving data quality, national energy balances go under revisions every two years (for the years starting from 2003) through fine-tuning of the computational models, consideration of new statistics or re-allocation of activity data. Due to the revisions on the input data for submission 2026, recalculations took place [(AGEB2025a)].
