The so-called Common Reporting Format files, electronic spreadsheet files in Excel format, are part of the report and can also be downloaded in 3 Zip-files.

Table of contents

Upfront – includes title page, abstract, acknowledgements, table of contents, summary in Dutch and Executive Summary in English

1. Introduction – includes general background information on climate change; on the Climate Convention, Kyoto Protocol, and the role of the EU; reporting requirements and differences with the domestic national inventories; the inventory preparation; methodologies and data used; key sources, quality assurance; general uncertainty evaluation; and a completeness assessment

2. Trends in greenhouse gas emissions – includes an overview of aggregated emission trends in CO2-equivalents, both by gas and by source. Includes the trend in emissions of CO, NOx, NMVOC and SO2

3. Energy [CRF Sector 1] – addresses all fuel combustion emissions and fugitive emissions from fossil fuel production, transmission and transformation. Excludes CO2 emissions from non-energy use of fuels (e.g. as chemical feedstock)

4. Industrial processes [CRF Sector 2] – addresses all industrial non-combustion emissions. Includes CO2 emissions from feedstock uses of fuel if not accounted for by combustion of chemical residual gases in the energy sector and indirect N2O emissions from non-agricultural sources

5. Solvent and other product use [CRF Sector 3] – addresses all non-combustion emissions, except for agricultural and waste emissions and F-gas emissions. Includes indirect CO2 emissions from NMVOC emissions

6. Agriculture [CRF Sector 4] – addresses all non-combustion emissions from this sector

7. LUCF [CRF Sector 5] - addresses CO2 emissions and removals from Land-Use Change and Forestry activities

8. Waste [CRF Sector 6] – addresses all waste handling activities, except waste incineration that is reported in the energy sector

9. Other [CRF Sector 7] - addresses all sources that cannot be properly allocated to one of the sectors 1 to 6: CO2 from fireworks; CH4 from solvents, from degassing of drinking water, and from candle burning; N2O from polluted surface water

10. Recalculations and improvements – explains differences with the previous submissions, responses to the reviews and planned improvements

Supplement

Common Reporting Format files - Electronic data on emissions, activity data and implied emission factors are available as 13 Common Reporting Format (CRF) data files. These are named  'Netherlands - submission 2003 v 2.0 - NNNN.xls’ with NNNN = 1990 .. 2001 and have been compressed into three zip-files, each about 2.5 MB. These zip-files also include 13 additional LULUCF files providing a new reporting format for details in CRF sector 5.
