1. UN/ECE Classification of Emission Sources

The NAEI reports emissions from the combustion of fuels and non-combustion emissions from a range of sectors.  The fuels data are taken from the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES), (DTI, 1999).  Hence the fuel definitions and the choice of base sector categories used in the NAEI often reflect those in the DUKES publications.  The choice of non-combustion sources generally reflects the availability of data on the emissions from specific activities.

 

The 1998 NAEI emission estimates are reported according to the UNECE/CORINAIR SNAP 94 Version 1.0 eleven sector classification which is less detailed than the NAEI base categories.  A listing of the NAEI base categories and their mapping onto the UNECE/CORINAIR SNAP 94 categories is shown in Table A1 below. In some cases the NAEI categories shown here are aggregates of more detailed emission sectors. The sectors are presented in this way in Table A1to allow an in depth understanding of the source sector content without presenting an excessive amount of information. In addition, the names of several NAEI categories have been changed to enable a fuller understanding by those not familiar with some of the nomenclature.

 

At the least detail level, there are 11 categories for the UN/ECE emission inventory format. These are as follow:-

01 Combustion in Energy Production & Transformation

02 Combustion in Commercial, Institutional & Residential & Agriculture

03 Combustion in Industry

04 Production Processes

05 Extraction & Distribution of Fossil Fuels

06 Solvent Use

07 Road Transport

08 Other Transport & Mobile Machinery

09 Waste Treatment & Disposal

10 Agriculture Forestry & Land Use Change

11 Nature

 

The allocation of a particular source to one of these sectors is well defined and given in more detail in Table A1. The majority of allocations are easy to understand. For example, emissions arising from fuel combustion in the manufacture of glass will come under “03 Combustion in Industry”. Emission arising from the manufacture/handling of the glass material itself and the raw materials will come under “04 Production Processes”.
