Austria’s National Air Emission Projections 2015 for 2015, 2020 and 2030

This report covers the results of projections for the pollutants sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), ammonia (NH3) and particulate matter (PM2.5) for two scenarios: “with existing measures” (WEM) and “with additional measures” (WAM). It updates previous projections for air pollutants published in 2014 (REP-0456). The WEM scenario leads to significant reductions in emissions by 2030 for all pollutants but NH3. The most substantial reduction with about 63 % from 2005 until 2030 is projected for the pollutant NOx. Emission reductions for the other pollutants are in the range from 36 % to 46 %; NH3 emissions, however, increase by 11-12 %. The WAM scenario shows some percentage points more reduction for most of the pollutants and NH3 emissions slightly higher than nowadays.
