Methods for calculating the emissions of transport in the Netherlands
report
The sources that cause emissions of environmental pollutants can roughly be divided into
stationary and mobile sources. Mobile sources include various means of transport such as
passenger cars, heavy-duty trucks, inland waterway vessels and aircraft, as well as mobile
machinery with combustion engines, such as agricultural tractors and forklifts. This report describes
the methodologies, emission factors and activity data used to calculate the emissions of
environmental pollutants from mobile sources in the Netherlands. These emissions are calculated
annually by the Task Force Transportation in the Dutch Pollutant Release and Transfer Register
(PRTR). The resulting greenhouse gas emissions are reported annually in the National Inventory
Report, whereas the air polluting emissions are reported in the Informative Inventory Report. Both
inventory reports provide a brief description of the trends in emissions and the methodologies
used to calculate emissions. The methodologies and underlying data used are described in detail in
the present report.
