9. Gridded data main pollutants and PM 2016 (SOx, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3, PM2.5, PM10 and PMcoarse)
For 2016 it was agreed with the modellers to perform gap-filling and gridding for the year 2014 in 50x50 km² (PS) resolution on SNAP 10 sector level and in addition in 0.1° x 0.1° longitude/latitude resolution on GNFR sector level.
For the distribution of the 50x50 km² SNAP grid of SOx, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3, PM2.5, PM10 and PMcoarse for 2014 base grid data, which was calculated last year based on new reported gridded data, was used.
The 0.1° x 0.1° GNFR grid of SOx, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3, PM2.5, PM10 and PMcoarse for 2014 were gridded based on the gridding system developed by CEIP, which is using EDGAR data , upgraded by point source information available under E-PRTR, for the distribution in areas where no reported gridded data in the 0.1° x 0.1° resolution is available.
Reported Data in new resolution : except Switzerland (where reported gridded data in the 0.1° x 0.1° resolution is available for the whole time series from 1980 to 2014), United Kingdom (where reported gridded data in 0.1° x 0.1° resolution is available for 2010) as well as Finland and Poland (where reported gridded data in 0.1° x 0.1° resolution is available for 2014).

10. Gridded data (0,1x0,1 long /lat) 2017 /2018 – challenges
Deadline for reporting; 1 May - gridded data required beginning June
Update of historical data; most Parties plan to report only 2015 data in new resolution
EMEP East : - progress in completeness of inventory data, but very limited info on spatial resolution / so far missing data for Russia and Belarus
Plan 2017 / Main pollutants and PM :
2015 gridded data in new resolution end beginning June , update of selected historical data (2000,2005,2010) in Q3/Q4 of 2017
2015 gridded data in 50x50grid, fro comparison, simplified approach based on updated National totals
To the extent possible improve spatial resolution were no reported data

11. Gridded data of HMs (and POPs)
Joint CEIP/MSC-E technical report on emission inventory improvement for HMs modeling - emissions Hg
CENTRE ON EMISSION INVENTORIES AND PROJECTIONS : K.Mareckova, M.Tista, R.Wankmüller, S.Schindlbacher
METEOROLOGICAL SYNTHESIZING CENTRE – EAST : O.Travnikov, I.Ilyin, O.Rozovskaya

12. HM - Correlation with PM, population, GDP

13. Conclusions, recommendations HMs
The quality of the data submissions vary greatly between different countries. The reasons for missing data are often not very transparent but for the review of submitted data the analysis of the submissions can help to evaluate the quality and credibility of the data, e.g. for replacement decisions.
Key category distribution is diverse between the countries. To calculate emissions using key category distribution and activity data would be very resource demanding. Calculations are very complex due to the gathering of activity data, the calculations itself and the grossing up of emissions. Further, results would contain high uncertainties. Therefore this method will not be implemented for future gap filling.
Strong relationships seem to exist between emissions of particulate matter and heavy metals. Especially for mercury, but also for cadmium and lead, the correlation with particulate matter (primarily: PM10) can be used to calculate emissions when particulate matter emission data are available.
Strong relationships seem to exist as well between emissions of heavy metals (especially mercury) and population or GDP data. Especially population data (rather than GDP data) could be used as indicator for e.g. extrapolation of previous reported emission data.
Additional and updated data sources, estimates and projections will be searched to fill gaps and compare data. Cooperation with other organisations dealing with air pollution data will be enhanced.
The quality of the data will increase the best, when countries frequently report complete emission inventories .
2017 plan on HMs and POPs:
50x 50 gridded data in April,
new resolution data 2nd half of 2017
Joint report with MSC/E on POPs

14. “Emerging issues 2016” Improvement of 0,1x0,1 long/lat gridding system
Questionnaire on PM EFs was distributed to Parties and results are partly evaluated and were presented to EMEP and will be to TFEIP in Zagreb
Chapter for EMEP/EEA inventory guidebook -Tier 1 methodology for small-scale combustion has been revised to provide a methodology which is specific to appliance & biomass types. After presented to TFEIP meeting chapter will be finalized and included in EMEP/EEA inventory Guidebook 2016.

15. Assessment of PM emission factors Cooperation with Aether
The questionnaire was sent to 44 national inventory compilers/EMEP national contact points for 41 countries on 16th November Responses were received by 21 countries in time for inclusion in assessment (15th December 2016).
Parties were asked to provide details of the PM10 emission factor for 38 categories of their emissions inventory: [1A1 by fuel type (4) , 1A1b (1) , 1A3 by vehicle and fuel type (14), 1A4 (domestic/residential) by fuel type (4).\, 1A4 non-road mobile machinery by fuel type (3) , 1B by fuel type (2) , 2 – Solvent and product use (4) , 3 – Agriculture (3), 5 – Waste (3)]
Improve Guidebook and COPERT / 54%

16. Assessment of PM emission factors Cooperation with Aether
Key messages that can be drawn from the the questionnaire:
Parties use different literature for PM EFs in their inventories, with different coverage of filterable/condensable PM. However, within a single source category, the literature that is used does not often vary substantially across the individual sources.
Parties often do not know the coverage of filterable/condensable PM when using country specific emission factors;
The EMEP/EEA Guidebook is often the most frequently cited source of PM emission factor.
From the findings, it is reasonable to conclude that PM emissions reported by Parties to the LRTAP Convention cannot be assumed to be directly comparable.
It is evident that the Guidebook is a common source of emission factors. It would be judicious to conduct a review of the emission factors within the Guidebook, and attempt to determine their coverage of filterable/condensable PM.
The data collected from the questionnaire will be retained for further use.
Some Parties which did not manage to respond to the questionnaire in time for inclusion in this report indicated that they plan to do so at a later date.

17. (Draft) Small combustion -Tier 1 Cooperation with TNO and Italy
The chapter covers the methods and data needed to estimate stationary combustion emissions under NFR sectors:
1.A.4.a.i — Commercial/institutional;
1.A.4.b.i — Residential;
1.A.4.c.i — Agriculture/forestry; and
1.A.5.a — Other (stationary combustion).
The chapter will be presented to TFEIP (Zagreb May 2017) and finalized afterwards
