Workplan / Guidebook improvement list

Combustion and Industry 2025 workplan - Download

​

The workplan provides the current list of Guidebook issues which need to be improved. Please inform us if you have identified other aspects which are not yet listed above (errors, unsuitable values). If you have prepared a new study which could be useful for the Guidebook, we are also interested to hear from you.

​

You may have noticed that this is a very long list which cannot be processed quickly. Therefore, we depend heavily on your participation. Please let us know if you are able to help us. We appreciate your contribution!

 

A modified and extended version of the Combustion & Industry improvement list, founded by the European Commission, has been compiled by Ricardo Plc, Aether Ltd and Citepa in 2025. This list is published at the main page of the TFEIP website.​

Information from ESIG solvent emission inventories

For the estimation of NMVOC emissions from solvent use, activity data have been made available by the European Solvents Industry Group for the EU-27 Member States and for specific years. For guidance on the use of these data, please see the Tier 2a method included in the EMEP EEA Guidebook chapter 2.D.3.a on Domestic Solvent Use. For access to the data, please contact the ESIG directly. The contact is Norbert Hannig, nha@cefic.be.
