GHGs emission inventory in Slovakia
- Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, Bratislava (Slovakia)
The results of Country Study project in Slovakia are presented. The gases included in the inventory are CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, and N{sub 2}O. While the combustion of fossil fuels accounts for about 96 percent of total Slovak carbon dioxide emissions, CO{sub 2} also results directly from industrial processes. The most relevant industrial activities in Slovakia leading to CO{sub 2} emissions were cement, magnesit, and coke production. The total CO{sub 2} emissions estimated in 1990 were 60 018 Gg and 43 449 Gg in 1994. In the forestry and land use category the net CO{sub 2} flux is estimated to have been a removal. The main sources of methane emissions are livestock, natural gas distribution networks and landfills. Total CH{sub 4} emission in 1990 were estimated to be 387 Gg respectively 315 Gg in 1994. Compared to the other GHGs the emissions of N{sub 2}O are not fully understood. The main sources are expected to be agriculture soils and waste water treatment. The 21 Gg (13.5 Gg in 1994) estimated emission is still very preliminary. To evaluate the share of different GHGs and sectors, the aggregated emissions were estimated. In the year 1990 CO{sub 2} emissions amount to 79%, CH{sub 4} emissions amount to 12%, and N{sub 2}O emissions amount to 9% of total emissions, respectively 78%, 14% and 8% in 1994.
