Evaluation of national emissions inventories of anthropogenic air pollutants for Brunei Darussalam
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1168-2209
Abstract Haze and other air pollution related problems are getting more significant in Brunei Darussalam but till date there is absence of comprehensive national emission inventory for Brunei Darussalam. Although there are few regional and global inventories available for Brunei Darussalam, large variations in the emission estimates exist in these datasets. Therefore, there is an important need for an updated inventory, based on data available from government and other sources. This study presents a sector-wise anthropogenic emission estimates and trends (2001–2012) for the pollutants CO2, CH4, N2O, NOX, NMVOC, CO, SOX, and PM10. The results suggest no significant contributions from residential sector (<1%) whilst road transport is the main contributor for most of the pollutants. CO2 is largely emitted by power plants (∼72% in 2001 and∼ 62% in 2012) and the main source of CH4 is Solid waste disposal and wastewater handling (∼92%). There were also significant contributions from industrial processes and solvent use to NMVOC and PM10 emissions (∼74% and ∼45% respectively).
Highlights The study is based on Brunei Darussalam, a small country in Southeast Asia. It is national emission inventory for greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants. Sector-wise anthropogenic emission estimates based of IPCC methodology. Emission estimates showed variations as compared to regional and global inventories for the area.
