| dc.description.abstract | The Norwegian emission inventory is a joint undertaking between the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT)
and Statistics Norway. The Norwegian Pollution Control Authority is responsible for the emission factors and for
providing data from specific industries and sources, while emission figures are derived from models operating at
Statistics Norway. Statistics Norway is responsible for developing the emission models, for the collection and
development of activity data, and for the calculations. Emission data are used for a range of national applications and
for international reporting.
This report document the methodologies used in the Norwegian emission inventory of greenhouse gases (GHG),
acidifying pollutants, heavy metals (HM) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The documentation will also serve
as a part of the National Inventory Report submitted by Norway to the United Nation Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC), and as documentation over the reported emissions to UNECE for the pollutants restricted
by CLRTAP (Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution). | en_US |
