Austria’s Annual Air Emission Inventory 1990–2022 provides an overview of national emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) and particulate matter (PM2.5) for the years 1990 to 2022. Emission trends and recalculations of these air pollutants, regulated in the European NEC Directive, are described.
The results show emission reductions for all pollutants between 2021 and 2022: SO2 declined by 0.9 %, NOx by 7.1 %, NMVOC by 7.4 %, NH3 by 1.7 %, and PM2.5 by 9.6 %. The reductions, except for NH3, were largely resulting from the households sector (1.A.4.b.1), where the milder winter and price changes on the energy market led to a significant decrease in household combustion for heat. The main reasons for reduced NH3 emissions were lower amounts of mineral fertilizer and the increased use of band spreading techniques. The 2022 emissions comply with national emission reduction commitments for all pollutants, except for NH3, which exceeded the target by 4 %.
