HERMESv3_BU

The technology in question is the High-Elective Resolution Modelling Emission System version 3 (HERMESv3), a Python-based and multi-scale modeling tool designed for processing and computing atmospheric emissions for air quality modeling. HERMESv3 consists of two modules: the global_regional module and the bottom_up module. The focus of the bottom_up module is on estimating anthropogenic emissions at high spatial (e.g., road link level) and temporal (hourly) resolutions. It employs advanced calculation methods, combining local activity, emission factors, and meteorological data. This technology facilitates the computation of emissions from various sources, including point sources, road transport, combustion activities, and agriculture, providing a versatile and adaptable solution for estimating air pollutants and greenhouse gases in European countries or regions with the required input data.
