Austria’s National Inventory Report 2015

The National Inventory Report 2015 (NIR 2015) gives a comprehensive description of the trend and the methodologies applied in the Austrian air emissions inventory for the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, HFC, PFC, SF6 and NF3. With this report, Austria complies with its reporting obligations under the EU Monitoring Mechanism and the UNFCCC. It contains emission data for the period 1990-2013 as well as information on emission factors, activity data and other basic data for emission calculations. Moreover, the report provides documentation of the national inventory system and quality control and assurance activities as performed by the accredited Inspection Body for Emission Inventories (ISO/IEC 17020). Supplementary information required under the Kyoto Protocol was not submitted in 2015 given the persistent problems with the CRF Reporter.
