Abstract
Nitrogen oxides emissions for Asia arising from fuel combustion were estimated for the base year 1990, based on energy consumption estimates and process emission factors contained within the RAINS ASIA methodology. Emission estimates were then generated through 2020. The 1990 NO sub(x) emissions were calculated at 19.2 Tg of nitrogen dioxide, with 15.8 Tg generated from area sources and 3.3 Tg generated from large point sources. Emissions by fuel type were dominated by emissions from the use of hard coal and middle distillates. Total Asian emissions were calculated to increase to 31.9, 52.6, and 86.0 Tg in 2000, 2010, and 2020, respectively, with the total emissions dominated by India and China. Emissions from the transport sector were found to increase the most, making it the dominant source of NO sub(x) emissions by 2020. For all Asian countries except Japan and Myanmar, NO sub(x) emissions in 2020 were more than five times larger than in 1990.
