Pollutant emissions projection according to the international obligations of the Czech Republic (EEA and EMEP)
Act No. 262/2024 Coll., on the public hydrometeorological service as amended by implementing regulations
In accordance with Act 123/1998 Coll. on free access to environmental information, as amended, the CHMI has provided verified primary and aggregated data on outdoor air pollutants. These are the main pollutants with limit values according to current legislation: arsenic (As), benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, cadmium (Cd), carbon monoxide (CO), nickel (Ni), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), ground-level ozone (O3), lead (Pb), particulate matter (PM10), particulate matter (PM2.5), sulphur dioxide (SO2). The data are based on measurements at stations owned by the CHMI for the period 1969-2022. The primary data are presented in measurement intervals of 30 min, 1 h or 24 h, depending on the type of measurement. Aggregated data are calculated from the above primary data. These data are: daily mean values, monthly mean values, annual mean values and the number of exceedances of the limit values for the protection of human health. Verified data for subsequent calendar years from 2020 will always be available by 1 July of the following year.
Emission balance (national and regional) in the breakdown of REZZO 1-4 and in the structure of NFR (Nomenclature for reporting)
Act No. 262/2024 Coll., on the public hydrometeorological service as amended by implementing regulations
According to Regulation 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the EU, all EU Member States are required to report their National Inventory Report to the European Commission annually by 15 March of the following year (t+1) together with the official reporting tables (CRF – Common Reporting Format); and to the UNFCCC Secretariat by 15 September, which has been implemented since 2024 under the new terms of the Paris Agreement, now in the CRT (Common Reporting Tables) format. Under the Paris Agreement, the Czech Republic, as an EU member state, has agreed to jointly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 % by 2030 compared to 1990.
Summary data from reports in ISPOP (total emissions of operation units, categories of sources operated, types of fuels, total rated thermal input, etc.)
Act No. 262/2024 Coll., on the public hydrometeorological service as amended by implementing regulations
The Czech Republic, like all states that are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is obliged to implement international measures to mitigate climate change caused by anthropogenic activities, within the framework of which it must also regularly publish projections of greenhouse gas emissions. By reporting projections, the Czech Republic also fulfils its obligations as an EU Member State under Article 18 of Regulation 2018/1999. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) is responsible for the implementation and submission of these reports and reports every two years, on 15 March (t-2), to the European Commission and the UNFCCC Secretariat, which then use them to develop further legislation and policy measures to reduce emissions or increase sinks (removals) of greenhouse gases.
