Emissions data from inventory of 7 IPCC sectors. 1 Base year emissions: emissions for 1990 in regard to CO2, CH4 i N2O, and emissions for 1995 in regard to HFC, PFC and SF6

The base year is the method used to calculate compliance with Kyoto and, therefore, a reference point. The other reference point is the average emissions of gases CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC i SF6 in the Kyoto Protocol compliance period (2008 - 2012)Unlike Spanish inventories, this does not taek into account the land-use changes and silviculture sector2 KtCO2 eq= thousands of tons

Waste of industries and treatment plants is not counted. They are not business agents.With the entry into force of the European Waste Catalogue in 2002, the category inert waste is eliminated (type 210 of waste) and becomes non-hazardous (149) or hazardous in some cases (61).
