High resolution annual sectoral emissions for main pollutants, nanoparticles and non-exhaust contributors. Deliverable 18 D3.3
report
The RI-URBANS project aims to enhance air quality information, particularly in urban areas, with a focus on providing accurate data for comparison and modelling. To support this objective, a high-resolution (6x6 km²) anthropogenic emission inventory covering a wide range of sources was developed by TNO. This dataset provides specific improvements for emission inventories focusing on the transport sector (exhaust and non-exhaust) and on ultrafine particles. This dataset, of which an initial version was delivered earlier in the project, underwent updates due to inconsistencies discovered during comparisons with other datasets, as outlined in the M3.3 report. The research within RI-URBANS focused on methodological changes in specific species, including PM data for small combustion sources to better incorporate condensables and total particle numbers (TPN) for road transport, with additional considerations for cold start emissions and diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration for vehicles
equipped with DPFs. New methodologies were applied to update the spatial distribution of traffic emissions, leveraging bottom-up inventories and open street data. The dataset, covering the year 2019 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting more recent data availability) and focusing on Europe, will serve as crucial input for modelling air quality in the region.
