  1. Emission Inventory in Cyprus Dr Chrysanthos Savvides

  2. Emissions Inventory in Cyprus • “Development of an emission inventory including formation of a database for atmospheric pollutant emissions and a software for simulation and forecast of air quality in Cyprus” • Objectives: • Collection of activity data from all emission-generating sources • Development of an emissions database based on the methodology of the EMEP/EEA Emission Inventory Guidebook • Development of a GIS application for the presentation of activity data and emissions on digital maps • Development of a web-based application for the evaluation and management of air quality

  3. Data Sources • Annual reports (Condition under the Air Emission Permit) • National data offices (e.g. Statistical Service) and Government Departments • Questionnaires sent to industries • Measurements conducted external team • road traffic counts • PM concentrations at quarries • Older data from similar measurements available • Other research projects, literature

  4. Road traffic data • More than 80 24-hour measurements of traffic load, traffic composition and average speed at urban, rural and highway roads were carried out. • Measurements conducted at various days of the week, covering both weekdays and weekends and also winter and summer conditions. • Older data from traffic measurements were also used (2006 and 2007 traffic census) conducted by the Public Works Department.

  6. Road traffic measurements

  7. PM measurements at quarries • PM measurements (TSP and PM10) conducted at 7 quarries • For each quarry, 35 24-hour measurements were conducted by means of 4 High Volume Samplers • Meteorological data and quarry activity also recorded • Data used for producing emission factors

  8. Software for EI • Input all necessary data (emission factors and activity data) • Emission estimation per source • View all data in several forms or reports • Execute the emission inventory • Save all these data in a simple database

  9. Software Flowchart

  10. GIS application • Application based on open-source code • Presentation of data on digital maps • Dynamic content, map creation on user demand • Linked to Air Quality Management System

  11. Total annual PM10 emissions Total annual NOx emissions • Emissions from all sources • Distribution as point, linear and area sources • 1 x 1 km resolution

  23. Conclusions • The main contributors to air pollution in Cyprus is electricity production, cement production and road transport. • Continuous emission reduction from road transport sector due to the technological improvement and the fleet renewal. • Emission reduction in electricity production due to the import and use of LNG as the main fuel from 2014. • Merging of the two cement industries by the end of 2010 with new and environmental friendly cement production technology. • With out any additional measures, continuous increasing of emission until 2013 (LNG as a main fuel in power sector).
