Dataset description
<p>The LAEI 2019 is the latest version of the London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory and replaces previous versions of the inventory.</p>
<p>Emissions estimates of key pollutants (NO<sub>x</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub>) by source type are included for the base year 2019. Emissions for previous years 2013 and 2016 have also been revised, using the latest data sources (emission factors, activity data, ...) where available, and changes in methodology where relevant.</p>
<p>Emissions projected forward to 2025 and 2030 will be available soon.</p>
<p>The area covered by the LAEI includes Greater London (the 32 London boroughs and the City of London), as well as areas outside Greater London up to the M25 motorway.</p>
<p>These emissions have been used to estimate ground level concentrations of key pollutants NO<sub>x</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub> and PM<sub>2.5</sub> across Greater London for year 2019, using an atmospheric dispersion model. Air pollutant concentration maps and associated datasets are available for download.</p>
<p>Due to the size of the LAEI database, datasets are provided in several parts and provided as ZIP files.</p>

<strong>Grid Emissions Summary</strong> This dataset includes emissions of key pollutants NO<sub>x</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub>, PM<sub>2.5 </sub>and CO<sub>2</sub>, and a range of additional pollutants (SO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, VOC...) in tonnes/year for 2013, 2016 and 2019 for each source category at a 1km grid square resolution (further split to follow all London borough boundaries). It includes emission summary tables for London boroughs and London zones (Central / Inner / Outer London). Data are provided in Excel and GIS formats.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong> <u>Update 26 07 2022</u> </strong>: Please note that emission totals have been slightly revised to correct emissions for Rail and Construction NRMM Exhaust (for CO<sub>2</sub>) and Industrial / Commercial Heat and Power sources (for all pollutants). Please refer to the Emissions - Data - Excel File below for further information. </li>
