tion prepare the guidelines and methodologies on inventories. DCE is also
responsible for estimating emissions for reporting to the NEC Directive, but
the Danish EPA is responsible for the reporting.
The work concerning the annual emission inventory is carried out in cooperation
with other Danish ministries, research institutes, organisations
and companies:
Danish Energy Agency (DEA), Ministry of Climate, Energy and Building:
Annual energy statistics in a format suitable for the emission inventory work
and fuel-use data for the large combustion plants.
Danish Environmental Protection Agency (DEPA), Ministry of the Environment.
Company reporting to e.g. the PRTR. Database on waste.
Statistics Denmark, Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior. Statistical
yearbook, production statistics for manufacturing industries, agricultural
statistics and import/export/production figures for solvents.
DCA-Danish Centre for Food and Agriculture, Aarhus University (AU).
Data on use of mineral fertiliser, feeding stuff consumption and nitrogen
turnover in animals.
The Road Directorate, Ministry of Transport. Number of vehicles grouped in
categories corresponding to the EU classification, mileage (urban, rural,
highway), trip speed (urban, rural, highway).
Civil Aviation Agency of Denmark, Ministry of Transport. City-pair flight
data (aircraft type and origin and destination airports) for all flights leaving
major Danish airports.
Danish Railways, Ministry of Transport. Fuel-related emission factors for
diesel locomotives.
Danish companies. Audited environmental reports and direct information
gathered from producers and agency enterprises.
Formerly, the provision of data was on a voluntary basis, but now formal
agreements are in place with the most important data suppliers, e.g. the
Danish Energy Agency and DCA-Danish Centre for Food and Agriculture,
Aarhus University.

The background data (activity data and emission factors) for estimation of
the Danish emission inventories is collected and stored in central databases
located at DCE. The databases are in Access format and handled with software
developed by the European Environmental Agency (EEA) and DCE.
As input to the databases, various sub-models are used to estimate and aggregate
the background data in order to fit the format and level in the central
databases. The methodologies and data sources used for the different
sectors are described in Chapter 1.4 and Chapters 3 to 7. As part of the
