The disaggreagation at the provincial level of the national inventory of emissions
This report illustrates the activity carried out to disaggregate on a provincial basis the emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases estimated in the national emissions inventory prepared by ISPRA. The estimates were obtained using a top-down approach and calculated for the years: 1990 - 1995 - 2000 - 2005 - 2010 - 2015 - 2019.
The creation of a database of over 1 million and 600 thousand records involved the collection and processing of a considerable amount of statistical data of various kinds: demographic, economic, industrial production indicators (such as population, vehicle registration, air traffic, consumption of products, consumption of fuels, etc.) and other territorial ones relating to land use (for example agricultural land, covered by forests or vegetation, etc.). An important contribution derives from the consultation and comparison of the data relating to some point sources, collected in the national registers: Emissions Trading, E-PRTR (European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) and LCP (Large Combustion Plants).
The study made it possible to have emission estimates for the main pollutants and greenhouse gases for all the provinces of the Italian territory (107 in 2019) and to provide an indication for each of them on the emission trend over the last 30 years.
