Abstract:A number of measures to abate emissions of SLCPs are, to varying degrees, already in place in the Nordic countries. National emission projections, taking existing legislation and measures into account, show that total emissions of black carbon (BC) and methane (CH4) are expected to decrease to 2030. In the future, residential biomass combustion and transport will be important sources of BC, as will agriculture and waste management for CH4-emissions. The objective in this part of the project was to identify eff… Show more
“…Diesel vehicles are the second largest contributor to black carbon emissions in all three countries. The contribution from power plants to black carbon emissions is insignificant for Denmark and Finland, but clearly visible for Sweden, which correlates well with the emissions according to the national projections (Kindbom et al 2018). Sectoral distribution of black carbon baseline emissions in the Nordic countries is very similar to the distribution in Belarus: the dominating source is residential combustion and the second largest source is transport.…”

“…For historical emissions of PM2.5, residential combustion and road transport have been the key emission sources from 2005 and until now (one other significant source in Sweden seems to be industrial processes). This will also be valid for the year 2030, according to the recent projections (Kindbom et al 2018).…”

“…It is important to remember that this is not the full range of measures available in 2030: for example, fuel shifts and behavioural changes are excluded from the present analysis. A good summary of relevant abatement measures for black carbon is presented in Kindbom et al 2018, where many of the non-technical measures are considered.…”
