1. Country profiles
2nd Eionet NRC workshop on Industrial Pollution

2. Country Profiles

3. Country profiles on industrial pollution
Aim to highlight environmental pressures of industry across media, its significance, trends and origins
Work in Progress…
So...
Please think of improvements for future “Country Profiles”..
What questions should these profiles try to answer?
What data is available to answer these questions?
What needs to be done with the data for it to be useful?

4. Data Sources Data sources used:
Eurostat (NACE codes) – waste generation, GVA, energy consumption, water consumption
CLRTAP (NFR codes) – emissions to air
E-PRTR (E-PRTR codes) – industry releases to air and water
IEA and World Bank for gap filling energy consumption and GVA data

5. Air (CLRTAP and E-PRTR) Water (E-PRTR) Waste (Eurostat)
Scope: Media
Air (CLRTAP and E-PRTR)
Water (E-PRTR)
Waste (Eurostat)
Soil – to be included in the future
Industry GVA included

6. Simple definition is not easy:
Scope: What is Industry!
Simple definition is not easy:
EUROSTAT: NACE divisions: B, C, D, E
B MINING AND QUARRYING
C MANUFACTURING
D ELECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM AND AIR CONDITIONING SUPPLY
E WATER & WASTE MANAGEMENT
CLRTAP NFR14 categories:
Stationary Energy (1A1, 1A2 (except 1A2gvii), 1A3e, 1A4ai, 1A4bi 1A4ci, 1A5a)
Fugitives (1B),
Industrial Processes (2 (except 2A5b, 2D3a),
Waste (5)
E-PRTR sectors: all except
Wastewater treatment (5f)
Livestock and aquaculture (7a, 7b)

7. Data gap-filling
Industry energy consumption (Switzerland and Iceland - IEA)
Industry GVA (Croatia, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Turkey – World Bank)
Industry GVA – gaps in almost all countries for some NACE sectors
Industry water consumption – gaps in almost all countries, trend of water abstraction used as proxy
Poland E-PRTR plant corrected

8. Profiles - overview
Significance of industry – gross value added, energy consumption, water consumption
Industrial releases to air – significance & trends
Industrial releases to water – significance & trends
Industrial waste generation – significance & trends

9. Significance of industry

10. Significance of industry

11. Industrial air emissions as % of total country pollution, by sector

12. Industrial air pollution vs economy

13. Industrial non-hazardous waste

14. 98 responses from 17 countries & DG ENV Summary of outcomes:
Eionet Consultation
98 responses from 17 countries & DG ENV
Summary of outcomes:
Expanded the introduction and explanation of industry and data sources
Concerns on the quality of the E-PRTR data and reliability of trends
E-PRTR water data error fixed (some sectors missing)
Mapping issue fixed (some NFR sectors wrongly excluded)

15. Improvements
Many Eionet consultation comments on the robustness of the data used.
Questions:
Many gaps or errors prevent accurate EU wide picture.. How can we gap fill?
Problems with categorisation (mapping) between datasets (NACE, E-PRTR, CLRTAP) that would allow better analysis. How can we link datasets better?
Extending analysis “…importance of industrial emissions with respect to ambient concentrations and ambient air quality standards…” Should we extend analysis to link to “State” and “Impacts”?
E-PRTR dataset has potential to be a valuable input to the public and private decision makers. However, it has transparency, completeness and accuracy issues and poor timeseries consistency.. How can we improve it?

16. E-PRTR: Why bother?
