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 on Transportation of 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.
