    The Norwegian emission inventory is a joint undertaking between the Norwegian Environment Agency1 and Statistics Norway. Statistics Norway is responsible for the collection and development of activity data, and emission figures are derived from models operated by Statistics Norway. The Norwegian Environment Agency is responsible for the emission factors, for providing data from specific industries and sources and for considering the quality, and assuring necessary updating, of emission models like, e.g., the road traffic model and calculation of methane emissions from landfills. Emission data are used for a range of national applications and for international reporting. The Norwegian Environment Agency is responsible for the Norwegian reporting to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and to United Nations Economic Commission Europe (UN-ECE). This report documents 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 Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and as documentation of the reported emissions to UNECE for the pollutants restricted by CLRTAP (Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution). LULUCF (land use, land-use change and forestry) is not considered in this report, see the National Inventory Report (Climate and Pollution Agency 2013) for documentation on this topic. This report replaces the previous documentation of the emission model (Sandmo 2012), and is the latest annually updated version of a report edited by Britta Hoem in 2005. The most important changes since last year’s documentation are: Sewage sludge has been included as a source of emissions of CH4 and NH3 Estimation of CO2 from use of soda ash outside production of glass wool and nickel has been included A previously lacking description of NOx from glass fibre production has been added The emission factors for particulates from combustion of wood sector have been revised Factors for nitrogen excretion from domestic animals have been updated. This influences emissions of N2O and NH3 from manure in the agriculture sector The data source for young cattle and animals for slaughter have been changed. This influences emissions of CH4 and NH3 from manure in the agriculture sector Previous editions of this report included a detailed description of recalculations in the most recent emission figures. These recalculation descriptions can now only be found in the National Inventory Report (Climate and Pollution Agency 2013). The Norwegian Emission Inventory 2013; Documentation of methodologies for estimating emissions of greenhouse gases and long-range transboundary air pollutants is also available at http://www.ssb.no

This report replaces the previous documentation of the emission model (Sandmo 2011), and is the latest annually updated version of a report edited by Britta Hoem in 2005. The most important changes since last year’s documentation are: • Minor NOx emissions from production of rock wool, which previously not have been estimated, have been included • Some factors for estimation of N2O from agriculture have been altered • The emission factors for particles from wood waste have been increased significantly There are no methodical changes in the present emission documentation. In addition to changes brought about by the mentioned causes, there are several minor changes in the emission figures, e.g. due to changes in figures on energy combustion. Chapter 8 Recalculations gives a more thorough description of changes in the most recent emission calculations

The Norwegian Environment Agency is responsible for the Norwegian reporting to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and to United Nations Economic Commission Europe (UN-ECE).

This report documents the methodologies used in the Norwegian emission inventory of greenhouse gases (GHG), acidifying pollutants, heavy metals (HM) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

This report is the latest annually updated version. The most important changes since last year’s documentation are: - Emissions of N2O and NH3 from use of sewage sludge applied on parks and green spaces, cover on landfills, used as fertiliser and other use have been included for all years since 1990 - Emissions of NMVOC and particles from handling of coal at Spitsbergen are included for the first time - The method for calculating NOx emissions from diesel engines at offshore installations has been revised Previous editions of this report included a detailed description of recalculations in the most recent emission figures. These recalculation descriptions can now only be found in the Informative Inventory Report (Norwegian Environment Agency 2014a) and the National Inventory Report (Norwegian Environment Agency 2014b). The Norwegian Emission Inventory 2014; Documentation of methodologies for estimating emissions of greenhouse gases and long-range transboundary air pollutants is available at http://www.ssb.no. From 1 July 2013, the Climate and Pollution Agency, which has cooperated with Statistics Norway in the preparation of the emission inventories, and the Directorate for Nature Management were merged into the Norwegian Environment Agency. The Climate and Pollution Agency was up to 2010 called The Norwegian Pollution Control Authority, abbreviated SFT. In this publication, the previous names and abbreviation are used in some contexts, mainly in connection with references to publications

    Norske utslipp av klimagasser - lite i verden, mye på hver av oss : norske klimagassutslipp 1990-2007

    Artiklene i Samfunnsspeilet er tilgjengelige fra SSBs nettsider: http://www.ssb.no/ssp/Norge bidrar med drøyt en promille av de samlede globale klimagassutslippene. I 2007 slapp vi ut nær tolv tonn såkalte CO2-ekvivalenter per innbygger. Det er litt over halv-parten av tilsvarende tall for USA, men høyere enn for de fleste andre land. Olje- og gassvirksomheten krever store mengder elektrisitet basert på forurensende naturgass. Sammen med industri og transport sto den for 80 prosent av de norske klimagassutslippene i 2007
