-Moreover, the use of additional statistical data is necessary in order to disaggregate data. Data source for fuel inputs for electricity generation in industrial power stations are shown in Energy Balance line 12. The difference resulting after deduction of the fuel inputs for refinery power stations, pit power stations, power stations in the hard-coal-mining sector and, for the period until 1999, for the power stations of German Railways (Deutsche Bahn) consists of the activity data for other industrial power stations. These data cannot be further differentiated. Additional data from the Federal Statistical Office are needed for allocation of fuel inputs to heat production in industrial power stations and boiler systems. For both electricity production and heat production, gas turbines, gas and steam systems and gas engines are differentiated. These detailed information is provided by the national statistic 067 (industrial power stations). The definition of industrial and public power plants follows the National statistics.+Moreover, the use of additional statistical data is necessary in order to disaggregate data.

 In 2018 and 2019 SO<sub>2</sub>, NOx, TSP, PM, CO, NH<sub>3</sub> and Hg emission factors were revised for all large combustion plants by using data from the large combustion plant reporting (UBA 2019)[(UBA2019)]. A detailed description of the procedure is presented in Chapter: 1.A.1.a - Public Electricity And Heat Production. This chapter contains also information about emission factors of engines and waste incineration plants. In 2018 and 2019 SO<sub>2</sub>, NOx, TSP, PM, CO, NH<sub>3</sub> and Hg emission factors were revised for all large combustion plants by using data from the large combustion plant reporting (UBA 2019)[(UBA2019)].

-PCDD and PCDF emissions show a decreasing trend over the whole timeseries due to decreasing fuel consumption in the industry sector.+Overall a decrease in PCDD and PCDF emissions is observed since the 90s, mainly based on the fuel consumption in the industry sector. The decreasing trend is more pronounced in the recent years.

-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 fuels in the official data sources is consistently included in the inventory, reallocation of fuel data between 1.A.1.b, 1.A.1.c 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)].
