Introduction
• The Netherlands is small industrialised country (200x300
km) with dense population• Most active seaport in the world (Rotterdam) strongly
connected to European continent by inland waterways• Airport that acts as a major hub (Schiphol) in international
aviation network

Remark on UN-FCC-method
Road Traffic F ≠ A No
Off Road F = F No
Inland shipping A = A Yes Fuelbased not possible
Seashipping - ≠ A Yes All international traffic
Fishing n.a. ≠ A Yes Fuelbased not possible
Rail Traffic F = F No
Aviation A ≠ A YesAcitivity data not easy available
F= FuelbasedA=Traffic based

Some remarks
• As a consequence fuel tax harmonisation bunker fuel figures
of inland shipping in energy statistics are not reflecting
inland traffic• As fishing is a very small sector in the Netherlands bunker
market fuel based inventory is very difficult• As the Netherlands is a very small country assessment of
inland aviation is disproportional to the relevance of the
emission

Recent developments
• Activity based emission modelling of all shipping modes
(finished)• Inland aviation put on a low (but still too high) default
emission value (consideration)• Inclusion of Sea fishing and Military emissions in UN-FCCC
emission inventory (ongoing)• General QA/QC-procedures (ISO-9001) are applied,
upgrading to international requirements is started

Conclusions
• Proper discrimination between inland / intra EU and international bunkers seems not to be possible in national energy statistics
• Activity (=traffic) based emission inventories could deliver flexible solutions to many problems
• Correction of bunker statistics with activity based data is probably not advisable because loss of the independent control function of bunker statistics
• Yearly traffic data are not readily available for all transport modes (aviation) but the consequences for emission data of the Netherlands are very limited
