Apeldoorn, donderdag 13 mei Presentation overview Introduction Present situation in the Netherlands Differences between methods Recent developments Conclusions
Apeldoorn, donderdag 13 mei Introduction The Netherlands is small industrialised country (200x300 km) with dense population Most active seaport in the world (Rotterdam) strongly connected to European continent by inland waterways Airport that acts as a major hub (Schiphol) in international aviation network

Apeldoorn, donderdag 13 mei Some remarks As a consequence fuel tax harmonisation bunker fuel figures of inland shipping in energy statistics are not reflecting inland traffic As fishing is a very small sector in the Netherlands bunker market fuel based inventory is very difficult As the Netherlands is a very small country assessment of inland aviation is disproportional to the relevance of the emission
Apeldoorn, donderdag 13 mei Recent developments Activity based emission modelling of all shipping modes (finished) Inland aviation put on a low (but still too high) default emission value (consideration) Inclusion of Sea fishing and Military emissions in UN-FCCC emission inventory (ongoing) General QA/QC-procedures (ISO-9001) are applied, upgrading to international requirements is started
Apeldoorn, donderdag 13 mei Conclusions Proper discrimination between inland / intra EU and international bunkers seems not to be possible in national energy statistics Activity (=traffic) based emission inventories could deliver flexible solutions to many problems Correction of bunker statistics with activity based data is probably not advisable because loss of the independent control function of bunker statistics Yearly traffic data are not readily available for all transport modes (aviation) but the consequences for emission data of the Netherlands are very limited
