Methodology

Activity data

As described for the over-all sector 1.A.3.d and all other navigational activities in the superordinate chapter, specific fuel consumption data for NFR 1.A.3.d ii is included in the primary fuel deliveries data provided in NEB lines 6 ('International Maritime Bunkers') and 64 ('Coastal and Inland Navigation') 1).

Here, the annual fuel consumption for domestic maritime navigation are modelled within 2) based on AIS data and deduced from NEB lines 6 and 64 respectively, depending on whether or not a certain ship is registered by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Here, fuels consumed by large, IMO-registered and sea-going ships and vessels are included in NEB line 6 whereas fuels consumed by smaller ships without IMO-registration are included in NEB line 64. After these deductions, the amounts of fuels remaining in NEB 64 are allocated to domestic inland navigation.

The small amounts of LNG used almost entirely in ferries are not yet included in the NEB but are estimated directly in the BSH model.

Emission factors

The emission factors applied for national maritime navigation are derived from different sources and therefore are of very different quality.

For the main pollutants, country-specific implied values are used, that are based on tier3 EF included in the BSH model 3) which mainly relate on values from the EMEP/EEA guidebook 2023 4). These modelled IEFs take into account the ship specific information derived from AIS data as well as the mix of fuel-qualities applied depending on the type of ship and the current state of activity.

Here, for sulphur dioxide and particulate matter, annual values are available representing the impact of fuel sulphur legislation. In addition, regarding 2, the increasing operation of so-called scrubbers in order to fullfil emission limits especially within SECA areas is reflected for heavy fuel oil.

Nonetheless, for these pollutants, annual emission factors from BSH 11) and TREMOD 12) have been applied for national maritime and inland navigation, respectively, reflecting the technical development of the German inland navigation fleet.

Here, the trends in sulphur dioxide and particulate matter emissions reflect the impact of ongoing fuel-sulphur legislation especially in maritime navigation.

Recalculations

Compared to the previous submission, activity data remain unaltered for national maritime navigation, whereas fuel consumption data allocated to inland navigation has been revised within TREMOD taking into account the finalisation of the National Energy Balance for 2024 as well as the routine revision of the National Energy Balances as of 2003 13).

In addition, several emission factors have been reviesed within E.M.M.A. and for diesel oil/light fuel oil used in national maritime navigation:

For pollutant-specific information on recalculated emission estimates for Base Year and 2023, please see the recalculation tables following chapter 9.1 - Recalculations.

Uncertainties

Uncertainty estimates for activity data of mobile sources derive from research project FKZ 360 16 023: “Ermittlung der Unsicherheiten der mit den Modellen TREMOD und TREMOD-MM berechneten Luftschadstoffemissionen des landgebundenen Verkehrs in Deutschland” by Knörr et al. (2009) 14).

Planned improvements

Besides the routine revisions of the models used for maritime and inland navigation, the percental BC-fractions (f-BC) applied for maritime navigation will be updated in accordance with the information provided in Chapter 1.A.3.d Navigation (shipping) 2023 of the EMEP/EEA GB 2023.

During test-bench measurements, temperatures are likely to be significantly higher than under real-world conditions, thus reducing condensation. On the contrary, smaller dillution (higher number of primary particles acting as condensation germs) together with higher pressures increase the likeliness of condensation. So over-all condensables are very likely to occur but different to real-world conditions.
