The EU’s public register of industrial emissions to air and water, the European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER), was today updated with the latest emissions data from some 12,000 industrial installations across Europe.
The data for 2004 for the first time covers installations in the ten new Member States.
EPER is a register of the emissions produced by large and medium-sized industrial facilities. It covers 50 air and water pollutants. The data in the register comes from facilities in all EU Member States.
The results from the query interface are quite informative. It shows adresses of polluters, CO2 emissions, type of emissions (water, air), amount and more.
Germany’s top CO2 emitter is RWE Power AG with 27,600,000.00 t of CO2 by 2004 an increase of 36,6 per cent since 2001.
