Air Emissions Accounts based on System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA)

Air emissions accounts (AEA) record flows of gaseous and particulate materials emitted into the atmosphere as a result of economic activity. AEA are a subset of environmental-economic accounts and are compiled in line with Regulation (EU) No 691/2011. They offer a detailed breakdown for 64 emitting economic activities (NACE), plus households, as defined in the national accounts of EU countries. They are aligned with economic statistics and GDP. Air emissions are available by year from 1995 onwards for six greenhouse gasses and seven air pollutants. The data includes emissions from bridging items, which show the relationship between the AEA and the Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Air Pollutants Emissions Inventory, which report national emissions in terms of the territory principle.
