This report presents the results from Phase II of the Air Emissions Inventory Project. It is the first national air pollutant emission inventory carried out for the whole country. The emissions inventory shows that emissions from the stationary energy and transport sectors dominate the emission sources. For particulate matter, the dominant source is industrial processes and product use (IPPU). Although the agriculture and waste sectors have a minor contribution to the country’s overall emissions, their role is more significant in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. However, of particular note are the estimated high non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) emissions from municipal solid waste disposal on land.
