Austria’s National Air Emission Projections 2013 for 2015, 2020 and 2030

This report “Austria’s National Air Emission Projections 2013 for 2015, 2020 and 2030” covers the results of projections for the pollutants sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), ammonia (NH3) and particulate matter (PM2.5) for two scenarios: “with existing measures” (WEM) and “with additional measures” (WAM). It updates previous projections for air pollutants published in 2011 and 2012 (REP-0342 and REP-0397). In the WAM scenario (which includes planned policies and measures with a realistic chance of being adopted and implemented in time to influence the emissions by 2030) current projections for NOx show that a major reduction in emissions can be expected. For SO2 and ammonia no further significant reductions are expected. NMVOC and PM2.5 emissions are projected to decrease after 2010.
