This directive has been drawn up in 2001 by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union to set upper limits for the total emissions of SO2, NOx, NH3 and non-methane VOCs by each member state. The calculation of emissions by stationary sources is, among other data sources, based on specifications in the annual emission reports of separate enterprises and additional estimates based on production and energy data provided by Statistics Netherlands. According to the activity classification (SIC 2008) the coke factory of Tata Steel belongs to the energy sector. In this table it’s emissions are assigned to the category manufacture of iron and steel. Emissions by mobile sources are calculated by multiplying data on activities, for instance fuel consumption, by emission factors.According to the NEC directive the emissions by seagoing shipping, the NOx emissions due to the use of manure and fertilizer, and a few minor NMVOC sources in agriculture are excluded. The emissions by road traffic and fisheries are based on the amount of motor fuels sold. Data available from: 1990 Changes as of 10 September 2018: Addition of 2017 provisional figures. Changes as of 9 March 2018: Stationary Sources: - The number of emission sources in agriculture which are excluded according to the NEC-directives has been expanded. Among others it concerns NOx from manure in stables and NMVOC from plants. - The latest insights related to the use of diesel oil in the sectors Services and Construction have been applied in the time series (1990-2016). - The CBS survey on renewable energy has been revised; the results have been used in the emission calculations. Mobile sources: - The NEC emissions by fishing boats are calculated on the basis of fuel sold to fisheries (diesel fuel and heavy fuel oil) instead of using the figures for emissions on Dutch territory. The entire time series has been recalculated. - There are various minor changes in the data on the fuel consumption, among others due to revised energy statistics and adjustments in the TNO calculation model for non-road mobile machinery. When will new figures be published? Definitive figures of 2017 are published in April 2019. The 2018 provisional figures will be published in September 2019.

It offers an insight in the emissions as reported within the framework of reporting commitments for the United Nations Climate Treaty (UNFCCC) and the European Union Monitoring Mechanism for Greenhouse gases. The emissions haven been calculated according to the IPCC-guidelines. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) takes care of the supervision of the implementation of the Kyoto-protocol. The CO2 figures include the emissions caused by the use of. This source accounts for about 0.1 billion kilograms. According to the activity classification (SIC 2008) the coke factory of Tata Steel belongs to the energy sector. In this table it’s emissions are assigned to the category manufacture of iron and steel. Data available from: 1990 Status of the figures: In order to obtain a consistent time series the complete data set is (re)calculated when necessary, so as to be able to include the latest insights in the survey, especially in the case of emission factors. Changes as of 18 December 2018: The yearly CO2 emission by the chemical industry has been corrected for 2012 to 2017. The adjustment results from a correction in the underlying energy data of a few large chemical enterprises. The supplied data from these companies for energy statistics appeared not complete, because the demarcation of the companies was unclear. This incompleteness was discovered by comparing data supplied to Statistics Netherlands with data supplied to the ETS system and data supplied to environmental annual reports. A result of this correction is that final consumption of natural gas on average is 22 PJ higher for the years 2012 up to and including 2017, final consumption of refinery gas is on average 12 PJ higher and electricity consumption is 1 PJ higher. These corrections affect calculated emissions of carbon dioxide which on average are 1,3 Mton higher for the years 2012 up to and including 2017. Changes as of 10 September 2018: Addition of 2017 provisional figures. Changes as of 9 March 2018: Stationary Sources: - The latest insights related to the use of diesel oil in the sectors Services and Construction have been applied in the time series (1990-2016). - The CBS survey on renewable energy has been revised; the results have been used in the emission calculations. Mobile sources: - Until now CBS applied fixed heating values valid for the entire time series of petrol and diesel fuel for the Dutch market. These values were introduced before 1975. Measurements by TNO in 2016 and RIVM in 2004 showed that these heating values, and also the carbon contents, have changed considerably during the past decades. This made it necessary to adjust the values used in the Dutch CO2 emission calculations. This has led to a new time series 1990-2016 of heating values, CO2 emission factors, and CO2 emissions for petrol and diesel (see paragraph 4). - The emissions from mobile machinery have been recalculated for the entire time series. This is due to revised CBS data on the use of gas oil and adjustments to the TNO emission model. - The CO2 emission figures now include the indirect CO2 emission caused by VOC emissions by transport. When will new figures be published? Definitive figures of 2017 are published in January 2019. The 2018 provisional figures will be published in September 2019.

      Data cited at:  CBS StatLine databank https://opendata.cbs.nl/statline/portal.html?_la=en&_catalog=CBS Publication: Emissions to air by the Dutch economy; national accounts https://opendata.cbs.nl/portal.html?_la=en&_catalog=CBS&tableId=83300eng&_theme=1029 License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   This table presents the air emission accounts, as a part of the annual environmental accounts compiled by Statistics Netherlands. The air emission accounts describe the emissions of air pollutants and gases as a result of Dutch economic activities. This is including the emissions of residents abroad and excluding emissions of non-residents in the Netherlands. The emissions of the substances are allocated to the various economic activities. Emissions from natural sources are excluded as these emissions are not related to economic activities. In this table, the emission of pollutants and gases from stationary sources (such as power plants) as well as mobile sources (such as road transport) are allocated to the different industries or households. Included are CO (carbon monoxide); CO2 (carbon dioxide); CH4 (methane); N2O (nitrous oxide also known as laughing gas); NOx (nitrogen oxides (diversity)); SO2 (sulphur dioxide); NH3 (ammonia); PM10 (particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 micrometres); NMVOC (volatile organic compounds excluding methane (CH4)). The environmental accounts are compiled according to the concepts (such as the resident principle) and definitions of the national accounts, making it possible to quantify the environmental effects of the economic activities for the Netherlands in a consistent manner. Data available from: 1990 Status of the figures: Figures for the latest year are provisional. In order to obtain a consistent time series, the complete data set is (re)calculated every year. The air emission accounts data are consistent in time and in compliance with the Dutch national accounts. The alignment between the environmental accounts and the national accounts however, takes place using a wide variety of sources. This means that, although every year the system required to perform the various calculations are similar and consistent, variation can occur due to changes in particular sources. As a result changes in emission factors from the emission inventory (pollutant release and transfer register, PRTR) and changing traffic and transport statistics affect the full time series of the air emission accounts. In order to obtain consistent time series, every year the entire time series are (re)calculated, enabling that latest insights in the data are captured. Changes as of 9 November 2018: Data for 2017 have been added. Data for previous years are adjusted according to the revision policy (see: Status of the figures). When will new figures be published? New annual figures will be published in November.

These are actual emissions in or above the Netherlands and on the continental shelf (see paragraph 2). It also contains the emission factors derived from these emissions (in grams of emission per kilogram of consumed fuel). Mobile source emissions are caused by the combustion of motor fuels, the evaporation of fuel and load residues (VOC), wear of tyres, brake linings and road surfaces (PM10), and the wear of railway overhead contact lines, including emissions caused by friction and spark erosion of the current collectors. The emissions are calculated by multiplying data on activities, for instance vehicle kilometres and fuel consumption, by emission factors.

The emission time series (1990-2016) has been recalculated. It is now based on ship movements registered by AIS transponders. The method is the same as the method used in the calculation of emission by seagoing vessels, and is carried out by TNO. - There are minor changes in the emissions of road traffic due to a small number of revised emission factors by TNO. - The road traffic performance of recent years, 2015 in particular, has been corrected slightly for the most recent National Car Passport data. It is obvious that this has some consequences for the emission figures of the years concerned. When will new figures be published? Definitive figures of 2017 are published in April 2019.

These data are part of the environmental accounts. The origin of the emissions to water can be divided into the Dutch economy (disaggregated by private households and industries) and the rest of the world. The destination can be divided into absorption by producers, drain off emissions to the rest of the world and contribution to the environmental problem. The figures in this table can be compared in a consistent way to macro-economic indicators. Furthermore, water emission accounts indicators can be derived for the emissions of heavy metals into water and the eutrophication of surface waters. These indicators can be used for supporting water policy. Data available from:1995 Status of the figures: To obtain coherent and consistent time series, the complete time series are (re)calculated. The latest insights, particularly with regard to the emission factors are included in the calculations. Changes as of December 7, 2016 Figures for 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 have been adjusted to the new figures of the Emission Registration. The provisional figures for 2013 and 2014 have been added.

It shows contributions to various environmental issues such as global warming, acidification, environmental costs and environmental taxes by industries. In addition, some economic characteristics of the National accounts are included for comparison, e.g. gross value added and the number of employee jobs converted to full-time equivalents. The environmental accounts are consistent with the concepts and definitions of the National Accounts. This implies that, for physical material flows, the direct relationship with the Dutch economy is the focal point. Material flows are attributed to the economic activities where the actions actually take place, they are registered according to the residence principle. This means that all air pollution caused by Dutch transport companies is taken into account for the Netherlands, but that air pollution caused by transport companies from abroad within the Dutch territory is not. The environmental accounts are based on figures from the environmental statistics. These data are based on the territory principle, however, everything that happens within the Dutch territory. Because of the consistency between the environmental accounts and the National Accounts, Dutch environmental indicators can be compared directly to the main economic indicators. Due to the difference in approach between environmental accounts and environmental statistics, results may vary somewhat.
