Methodology descriptions

Last checked on: 5 February 2026

From 2015 onwards the methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions (including activity data and emission factors) are documented in 5 methodology reports by PRTR task forces.

These 5 reports are:

  • Methodology report on the calculation of emissions to air from the sectors Energy, Industry and Waste (taskforce ENINA).
  • Methods for calculating the emissions of transport (task force Transportation).
  • Product usage by consumers, construction and services (taskforce WESP).
  • Methodology for estimating emissions from agriculture (taskforce Agriculture).
  • Greenhouse gas reporting of the LULUCF sector (taskforce LULUCF).

All reports are updated annually as necessary, and published by the National Inventory Entity as part of the Dutch National System.
