Vonk Report 680355007/2013 The total greenhouse gas emissions from the Netherlands in 2011 decreased by approximately 7% compared to the Greenhouse emissions in 2010. This decrease is mainly the result of decreased fuel combustion in the energy sector (less electricity production) and in the petrochemical industry. Emissions from space heating decreased due to the mild winter compared to the very cold 2010 winter. In 2011, total direct greenhouse gas emissions (excluding emissions from LULUCF – land use, land use change and forestry) in the Netherlands amount to 194.4 Tg CO2 eq. This is approximately 9% below the emissions in the base year (213.2 Tg CO2 eq). This report documents the 2013 Netherlands’ annual gas emissions submission of its greenhouse gas emission inventory in accordance with the guidelines provided by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the European Union’s Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism. The report comprises explanations of observed trends in emissions; a description of the assessment of key sources and their uncertainty; documentation of methods, data sources and emission factors applied; and a description of the quality assurance system and the verification activities performed on the data. in The Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2011 This is a publication of: National Institute for Public Health and the Environment Netherlands P.O.

Acknowledgements Many colleagues from a number of organisations (CBS, EC-LNV, LEI, Alterra, NL Agency, PBL, RIVM and TNO) have been involved in the annual update of The Netherlands Pollutant Release & Transfer Register (PRTR), also called the Emission Registration (ER) system, which contains emissions data on about 350 pollutants. The emission calculations, including those for greenhouse gas emissions, are performed by members of the ER ‘Task Forces’. This is a major task, since The Netherlands’ inventory contains many detailed emission sources. The emissions and activity data of The Netherlands’ inventory have been converted into the IPCC1 source categories contained in the Common Reporting Format (CRF) files, which form a supplement to this report. The description of the various sources, the analysis of trends and uncertainty estimates (see chapters 3 to 8) were made in co-operation with the following emission experts: Eric Arets (KP), Guus van den Berghe (Rijkswaterstaat, Waste), Klaas van der Hoek, Jan-Peter Lesschen and Peter Kuikman (Alterra, Land Use), Gerben Geilenkirchen (Transport), Romuald te Molder (Key Sources), Jan Dirk te Biesebeek (Solvent and Product Use), Rianne Dröge (Energy), Johanna Montfoort (Fugitive Emissions), Kees Peek (Industrial Processes, Data Control, Chart Production), Kees Baas (CBS, Wastewater Handling) and Jan Vonk (Agriculture). In addition, Bas Guis of CBS has provided pivotal information on CO2 related to energy use. This group has also provided activity data and additional information for the CRF files in cases where these were not included in the data sheets submitted by the ER Task Forces. We are particularly grateful to Bert Leekstra, Jack Pesik and Dirk Wever for their contributions to data processing, chart production and quality control. We greatly appreciate the contributions of each of these groups and individuals to this National Inventory Report and supplemental CRF files, as well as those of the external reviewers who provided comments on the draft report. 1 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2011 | 3 Abstract Rapport in het kort Total greenhouse gas emissions from The Netherlands in In 2011 is de totale emissie in Nederland van 2011 decreased by approximately 7 per cent compared broeikasgassen, zoals CO2, methaan en lachgas, met with 2010 emissions. This decrease is mainly the result of ongeveer 7 procent gedaald ten opzichte van 2010. De decreased fuel combustion in the Energy sector (less daling komt vooral door een lager brandstofgebruik in de electricity production) and in the petrochemical industry. energiesector en de petrochemische industrie.

The virus, belonging to the Orthobunyavirus genus in the Bunyaviridae family, was first detected in Germany, in The Netherlands and in Belgium in 2011 and soon after in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Denmark and Switzerland.

The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.
