382 Appendix B Standard Report Sheet of Electricity Mix Germany

No. Topic Explanation
The percentage of electricity generation in the statistics listed
as ‘other’ was distributed proportionately to water power (for
proportional wind power) and crude oil (for proportional
electricity from waste incineration plants). The respective
power plant types were calculated according to (GEMIS
1997), but not using the energy mix reported there. Because
(GEMIS, 1997) provides no information on carcinogenic
pollutants, in a first approach the calculation was
supplemented despite an asymmetric database, for example,
with carcinogenic heavy metals according to ETH (1994)
B4 Reference year 1996
B5 Reference location Power plant technology Germany/Switzerland
Electricity mix: Germany
B6 System boundary Electricity supply from German power plants including
upstream processes for provision of energy carriers
B6a Upstream processes Mining of energy carriers
B6b Energy Power plant
B6c Transport Energy carrier from deposit
B7 Allocation None
B8 Confidentiality Public data
B9 Data gaps In GEMIS no information on carcinogenic pollutants
Data base for carcinogenic pollutants in ETH has only
limited reliability.
