SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF EMISSIONS TO AIR – THE SPREAD MODEL

Environmental Panorama
International
April of 2011


Del| NERI has developed a model to distribute emissions from the national emission inventories on a 1x1 km grid. The new spatial high resolution distribution model for emissions to air (SPREAD) has been developed according to the requirements for reporting of gridded emissions to CLRTAP.

The National Environmental Research Institute (NERI), Aarhus University, completes the annual national emission inventories for greenhouse gases and air pollutants according to Denmark’s obligations under international conventions, e.g. the climate convention, UNFCCC and the convention on long-range transboundary air pollution, CLRTAP.

NERI has developed a model to distribute emissions from the national emission inventories on a 1x1 km grid covering the Danish land and sea territory. The new spatial high resolution distribution model for emissions to air (SPREAD) has been developed according to the requirements for reporting of gridded emissions to CLRTAP.

Spatial emission data is e.g. used as input for air quality modelling, which again serves as input for e.g. assessment and evaluation of health effects. For these purposes distributions with higher spatial resolution have been requested.

SPREAD is developed to generate improved spatial emission data for e.g. air quality modelling in exposure studies. SPREAD includes emission distributions for each sector in the Danish inventory system; stationary combustion, mobile sources, fugitive emissions from fuels, industrial processes, solvents and other product use, agriculture and waste. This model enables generation of distributions for single sectors and for a number of sub-sectors and single sources as well.

This report documents the methodologies in this first version of SPREAD and presents selected results. Further, a number of potential improvements for later versions of SPREAD are addressed and discussed.

Danish Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution 2009

Del| This report is a documentation report on the emission inventories for Denmark as reported to the UNECE Secretariat under the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution.

The report contains information on Denmark’s emission inventories regarding emissions of (1) SOX for the years 1980-2009, (2) NOX, CO, NMVOC and NH3 for the years 1985-2009, (3) Particulate matter: TSP, PM10, PM2.5 for the years 2000-2009, (4) Heavy Metals: Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Se and Zn for the years 11000-2009, (5) Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH): Benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene for the years 11000-2009 and (6) Dioxin and HCB. Further, the report contains information on background data for emissions inventory.
