Greenhouse gas inventory for Abu Dhabi Emirate. Technical basis & results of the first inventory. NILU OR

Hamed, H.; John, P.

The first GHG inventory for Abu Dhabi Emirate was conducted for all activity sectors (energy, industrial processes, agriculture, land use change and forestry, and waste) using the sectoral (bottom-up) approach. The input data was collected in collaboration with the relevant local authorities. Estimation of GHG emissions was conducted applying the methodology of the IPCC (Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines and the Good Practice Guidance) and using the UNFCCC inventory software. A key category analysis was also performed for the GHG emissions; the key sources of emissions responsible for 95% of the total GHG emissions were identified. Three emission indicators were developed for Abu Dhabi Emirate using the standards of IEA: the per capita emissions, per GDP and per kWh electricity produced. Very few data was available on the local emission factors. For missing data, assumptions were made to undertake calculations of emissions; the factors used in the previous UAE national inventories and/ or the commonly accepted emissions factors from IPCC and other standard guidelines were used. Focus was given to the key category sectors; energy (specifically fuel combustion emissions) and industrial processes (specifically metal and mineral). Land use change and forestry sector was also in concern as a sink for CO2 removals. Contributions of agriculture and waste sectors were as expected small. In addition, among various greenhouse gases, priorities were given to direct greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O and PFCs, and to a lesser degree to indirect gases CO, NOX, SO2 and NMVOC.

Grenseområdene Norge-Russland. Luft- og nedbørkvalitet 2020.

Berglen, Tore Flatlandsmo; Nilsen, Anne-Cathrine; Våler, Rita Larsen; Vadset, Marit; Uggerud, Hilde Thelle; Hak, Claudia; Andresen, Erik

Smelteverkene i nordvest-Russland slapp ut store mengder svoveldioksid (SO2) og tungmetaller. Utslippene påvirket luft- og nedbørkvalitet i grenseområdene. Miljøovervåkingen viser at grenseverdier for SO2 er overholdt i kalenderåret 2020, samt for vinter 2019/20. Smelteverket i Nikel stengte ned 23. desember 2020 og dette er ventet å gi stor nedgang i
forurensningen i grenseområdene. Målsettingsverdier for Ni, As og Cd er overholdt.

Smelteverkene i NV-Russland slipper ut store mengder svoveldioksid (SO2) og tungmetaller. Utslippene påvirker luft- og nedbørkvalitet i grenseområdene. Miljøovervåkingen viser at grenseverdier for SO2 er overholdt i kalenderåret
2017, samt sesongmiddel vinter 2016/17. Målsettingsverdier for Ni og As er overholdt.

Smelteverkene i nordvest-Russland slipper ut store mengder svoveldioksid (SO2) og tungmetaller. Utslippene påvirker luft- og nedbørkvalitet i grenseområdene. Miljøovervåkingen viser at grenseverdier for SO2 er overholdt i kalenderåret 2019, samt for vinter 2018/19. I januar 2019 var det to episoder med høye konsentrasjoner av SO2 på Svanvik. 25. januar ble det sendt varsel til befolkningen i området. Målsettingsverdier for Ni og As er overholdt.
