Austria is required to annually report data on emissions of air pollutants covered under the UNECE/LRTAP Convention and its Protocols as well as under the NEC Directive for the main pollutants NOx, SO2, NMVOC, NH3 and CO, Particulate Matter (PM), Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and Heavy Metals (HM). To be able to meet these reporting requirements, Austria compiles an Air Emission Inventory („Österreichische Luftschadstoff-Inventur – OLI”) which is updated annually. This report follows the regulations under the UNECE/LRTAP Convention and its Protocols that define standards for national emission inventories. In 2008 the Executive Body adopted the Guidelines for Reporting Emission Data under the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP) (ECE/EB.AIR/97)1/2 for estimating and reporting of emission data. They are necessary to ensure transparency, accuracy, consistency, comparability and completeness (TACCC) of the reported emissions. In 2014 the Reporting Guidelines were revised (ECE/EB.AIR.125)3 and were adopted for application in 2015 and subsequent years. The emission data presented in this report were compiled according to these guidelines for es- timating and reporting emission data, which also define the new format of reporting emission data (Nomenclature for Reporting – NFR (latest version of the templates ‘NFR19’4 dated 18.11.2019) as well as standards for providing supporting documentation which should ensure the transparency of the inventory. The complete set of tables in the new NFR format, including sectoral reports, sectoral back- ground tables and footnotes to the NFR tables, are submitted separately in digital form only. A summary of emission data is presented in the Appendix of this report. The IIR 2021 at hand complements the reported emission data by providing background infor- mation. It follows the current template5 of the “Informative Inventory Report – IIR” as elaborated by the LRTAP Convention’s “Task Force on Emission Inventories and Projections – TFEIP” (re- vised in 2018). The structure of this report follows closely the structure of Austria’s National In- ventory Report (NIR) submitted annually under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which includes a complete and comprehensive description of meth- odologies used for compilation of Austria’s greenhouse gas inventory (UMWELTBUNDESAMT 2021a). 1 https://www.ceip.at/fileadmin/inhalte/ceip/00_pdf_other/2009/rep_guidelines_ece_eb_air_97_e.pdf 2 At its twenty-sixth session (15–18 December 2008), the Executive Body approved the revised Guidelines (ECE/EB.AIR/2008/4) as amended at the session and requested the secretariat to circulate a final amended ver- sion. 3 https://www.ceip.at/fileadmin/inhalte/ceip/1_reporting_guidelines2014/ece.eb.air.125_advance_version_reporting_ guidelines_2014.pdf 4 https://www.ceip.at/reporting-instructions 5 Annex II: https://www.ceip.at/reporting-instructions/annexes-to-the-2014-reporting-guidelines Umweltbundesamt REP-0762, Vienna 2021 3 Austria’s Informative Inventory Report (IIR) 2021 – Preface The aim of this report is to document the methodology in order to facilitate understanding of the calculation of the Austrian air emission data.
