1 Air quality in Luxembourg: assessment, plans and programs Environmental Implementation Review Country Dialogue Luxemburg MDDI, 12 October 2017

2 Overview Air quality measurements - telemetric network in Luxemburg Air quality plan for Luxembourg-city Guidance measurements of air quality at national level National air quality program National Air Pollution Control Program 2

3 Air quality measurements - telemetric network Rural Area of Luxembourg (RAL) Population: Measurement stations in Vianden (Rural background) Beckerich (Rural influenced by traffic) Beidweiler (Rural background) Luxembourg-city and his Peri-Urban area (LCPU) Population: Measurement stations in Walferdange (Sub-urban background) Luxembourg-Churchill (Urban influenced by traffic) Luxembourg-Liberté (Traffic urban) Luxembourg-Bonnevoie (Urban) Canton of Esch (CES) Population: Measurement station in Esch/Alzette (Urban background influenced by industry) Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg Population:

4 Short-term air quality measurements 100% EU Air Quality Index (hours in 2016) 90% 80% 70% 60% 5 (Very bad) 4 (Bad) 3 (Moderate) 50% 2 (Good) 40% 1 (Very good) 30% 20% 10% 0% Vianden (RURAL) Beckerich (RURAL) Beidweiler (RURAL) Luxbg.-Churchill (URBAN) Luxbg.-Bonnevoie (URBAN) Esch-Alzette (URBAN) Luxbg-Liberté (TRAFFIC) 4

5 Concentration [ µg/m³ à 20 C] Long term measurements of NO 2 80 Polluant NO 2 Moyenne annuelle - Protection de la santé humaine valeur limite = 40 µg/m Année Luxembourg - boulevard Royal Luxembourg - rue de Bonnevoie ESCH/ALZETTE - avenue Grande-Duchesse Charlotte Luxembourg - 22, avenue de la Liberté (Tubes passifs) Luxembourg - 2-4, avenue de la Liberté (Tubes passifs) Luxembourg - 2-4, avenue de la Liberté 5

6 Air quality plan for Luxembourg-city Exceedance of NO 2 limit value (traffic station) annual mean in 2010: 59 μg/m 3 annual mean in 2016: 45 μg/m 3 Air quality plan (actualised in 2011) main measures: improvement of public transport tramway (operation will start end of 2017) additional measures: acceleration of bus fleet modernisation

7 Air quality plan for Luxembourg-city Promotion of public transport MODU Strategy Tram, optimisation of trains and busses Avoiding 1975 regional bus passages in the city center per day Accelerated modernisation of the bus fleet Euro 6 Standard for diesel busses Busses with gas propulsion system (norme Euro 6) Electric hybrid busses Facteurs d'émission des autobus de ligne (g NOx/km) Agglomération, route principale, trafic dense, pente 0% (HBEFA 3.2) 1 0 Euro 4 Euro 5 Euro 5 (Gaz) Euro 6 7

8 Air quality modelling at national level

9 Guidance measurements at national level Annual mean in 2015 and/or 2016 (Passive samplers) Mesurages en 2015 et 2016 REMICH, 35 rue Enz BASCHARAGE, 132 av. de Luxembourg REMICH, 10 rue Enz WASSERBILLIG, 39 Grande Rue MERSCH, rue G.-D. Charlotte ETTELBRUCK, av. J.-F. Kennedy WALFERDANGE, 5, route de Diekirch DUDELANGE, 50, rue de Luxembourg GREVENMACHER, 8 rue du Centenaire LUXEMBOURG 5, rue Camille Polfer GARNICH, 22A rue des 3 Cantons NO 2 (μg/m 3 ) 9

10 National air quality program Measures at the European level Real driving emission test procedure for passenger cars Proactive measures at national and local level 1. Traffic prevention 2. Promotion of «clean» public transportation 3. Promotion of electric mobility 4. Traffic fluidisation 5. Aeration aspects to consider at municipal level 6. Prevention of organic waste burning 7. Information and awareness rising The program was adopted end of June

11 National air quality program Information and awareness raising Implication of municipalities by including air quality aspects in the well established energy award system Awareness raising and giving incentive for projects improving air quality Joint measurement campagnes with municipalities and the Environment Agency 11

12 Source apportionment (NO X ) Emissions nationales de NOx en 2015 (%) Immissions NOx aux "Hotspots" (% Trafic routier Industrie Chauffages Agriculture Autres Pollution de fond 81 Immission moyenne NOx en 2015 aux "Hotspots" (%) Voitures et Camionnettes Diesel 72% Pollution de fond 13% Trafic routier 81% Chauffages 5% Industries 1% Camions 12% Bus 11% Voitures et Camionnettes Essence 5% 12

13 National air quality program Cleaner individual motorised trafic New fiscal measures Abattement for zero emission vehicles for private consumers Depreciation levels for liesing cars promoting zero emission and low emission cars and penalising diesel cars New abattement (2500 ) for plug in hybrid vehicles with low emissions for private consumers New tax bonification for companies investmenting in zero emission or hydrogen fuel cell cars Infrastructre mesures Installation of 1600 public charging stations for electric vehicles until

14 National Air Pollution Control Programme Development of a National Air Pollution Control Programme by April 1, 2019 according to the directive 2016/2284/CE. Main elements of the control programme Approach to achieve the objectives by 2020 and 2030 Program identifies measures to achieve the emission objectives Collaboration and exchange with the involved sectors and stakeholders. Main challenges: NOX emissions : Transport NH3 emissions: Agriculture PM2.5: Residential combustion 14
