The calculation procedure is based on the COPERT4 simpler emission methodology. The fuel consumption specific emission factors have been obtained applying the detailed methodology at a national level. The production of these emission factors has been performed using the activity data from TREMOVE and the methodology of COPERT4.
The calculation procedure allows to estimate the emissions for the main pollutants and for each EU-15 country and countries classified as CC4, BC and NIS (Newly Independent States formed in 1991 after the split of the Soviet Union).
The COPERT vehicle calsses are grouped in gasoline and diesel passenger cars (PC), gasoline and diesel light duty vehicles (LDV), diesel heavy duty vehicles (HDV), buses, mopeds and motorcycles. The simplified methodology does not deal with LPGs, 2-stroke and gasoline heavy-duty vehicles because of their small contribution to a national inventory.
Go to the calculation procedure. Select the Country of your interest, then specify the fuel consumption for each vehicle category, and click Proceed. The system will produce a table with the estimated emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOX), non-methanic volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), methane (CH4), particulate matter (PM) and carbon dioxide (CO2). For each pollutant a pie chart will be also produced.
