Emissions from fuel combustion processes are estimated in energy production · transition industries such as public power generation, district heating, and oil refining.
This category is made up of 5 second‑level categories: public power generation, district heating, oil refining, solid fuel transformation, and private power generation.
Air pollutants emitted during fuel combustion processes for the heating ‧ hot water supply ‧ cooking ‧ grain drying purpose in commercial‧ public ‧ residential ‧ agricultural and livestock facilities, and this source category estimates their emissions.
This category comprises 3 second‑level categories: commercial and public facilities, residential facilities, and agricultural ‧ livestock ‧ fishery facilities.
Emissions from fuel combustion processes involved in manufacturing emission facilities are estimated in this category which consists of 3 second‑level categories: combustion facilities, process furnaces, and others.
Emissions from industrial processes are estimated in this category which comprises 10 second‑level categories: petroleum industry, iron and steel industry, inorganic chemical industry, organic chemical industry, pulp and paper industry, food and beverage industry, ammonia consumption, and others.
This category is to estimate emissions produced by gasoline supply operations.
It includes emissions from gasoline tank truck loading operations in oil refineries and terminals, emissions from oil storage tanks, and emissions fueling operations at gas stations.
It consists of 3 second‑level categories: oil refinery’s truck loading facilities, oil terminals, and gas stations.
This category is to estimate VOCs produced by solvent use.
It comprises 4 second‑level categories: painting facilities, cleaning facilities, laundry facilities, and other solvent use.
This category is to estimate emissions produced by cars on the road. It is divided into a hot‑start and cold‑start mode according to engine operation conditions, and for gasoline cars, it is needed to additionally estimate emissions during parking and driving.
It consists of 8 second‑level categories: passenger cars, taxis, vans, buses, trucks, special cars, recreational vehicles (RVs) and two‑wheeled vehicles.
This category is to estimate emissions from railways, aircraft, agricultural machinery, and construction machinery, all of which are equipped with combustion engines.
It is made up of 6 second‑level categories: military equipment, railways, ships, aircraft, agricultural machinery, and construction machinery.
This category is to estimate emissions produced by waste disposal.
It comprises 2 second‑level categories: waste incineration and other ways of disposing of waste (landfill disposal, composting, biogas production).
This category is to estimate ammonia emissions from fertilizer use and livestock manure.
It consists of 2 second‑level categories: farmlands that use fertilizers and livestock manure management.
This category is to estimate air pollutant emissions produced by natural source (vegetation and farmlands) and fire.
It is made up of 6 second‑level categories: natural resources, fires, wetlands, water bodies, animals, and others.
This category is to estimate emissions of paved road dust that vehicle exhaust gases and pollutants contain, and dust that emits without dust outlets during industrial processes.
It consists of 9 second‑level categories: paved roads, construction sites, vacant lands, loading and unloading, agricultural production, livestock production, waste disposal, and unpaved roads.
This category is to estimate emissions produced by biomass burning, including open burning, traditional fireplaces, boilers, and grilled meat and fish.
It consists of 6 second‑level categories: open burning, crop residue incineration, grilled meat and fish, wood stoves and boilers, traditional fireplaces, and charcoal kilns.
