Popis: An overview is presented of the Dutch emission registration activities with respect to greenhouse gases. This in-cludes the Dutch Pollutant Emission Register (PER) and the global Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Re-search (EDGAR). Objectives. tanks. methods and information systems present in PER and EDGAR are highlighted. Special attention is given to methods used to derive greenhouse gas emissions from biogenie sources in agriculture. Within the tramework of the Dutch National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change, a project has been initiated to establish and validate a detailed CH4 emission database for the Netherlands and North-western Europe (MEI DAT). Methods and results of this project are presented as wen, again focusing of emission from biogenic sources in agriculture. The METDAT emission database is validated using model and measurement resuits of CH.1 air concentrations. Moreover. an assessment is made of differences with official emission data pub-lished in so-called Nationai Communications of the different countries. An outlook is given on near-future activities in relation to PER. EDGAR and METDAT. respectively.
