Abstract

In order to clarify the actual conditions of emissions of environmental loads in Asia, we estimated emissions from energy consumption and agriculture in 2001 and developed emissionsinventories with ArcGIS.
To estimate the emissions of NOx, SO2 and CO2 from energy consumption, we calculated theservice demands of each sector by using economic model and constructed the energy enduse model. We also estimated the emissions of NOx, SO2, CO2, CH4, NH3 and N2O from agriculture in eachemission resource. Then the emissions are spatially distributed by using the landuse data and largepoint source (LPS) data such as electric power plants including its longitude and latitude data.
As a result, we estimated total emissions of NOx, SO2 and CO2 are 31.1 (Tg), 29.5 (Tg), 6026.2 (Tg), and the large amount of the emissions is from electric power plants. The results of spatialdistribution of these gases show that these gases have concentrated exhaust source on a specific place. We also estimated emissions of CH4, NH3 and N2O from agriculture are 69.4 (Tg), 15.0 (Tg), 3245.8 (Gg), and the largeamount of these gases is emitted from the north part of India.
