In 2017, Germany did provide data on point sources under the LRTAP convention for the first time. Since additional information, for example on stack heights, is not available at the federal level, the German submission presents a mere copy of the ePRTR data available on both national and European websites. The existing point source data has been re-formatted to fit the CLRTAP reporting template and augmented with some derived information on sector membership and assumed stack heights.
Method
GNFR membership and stack height class have been added according to the following table:

| 1.a | B_Industry | 4 |
| 1.c | A_PublicPower | 5 |

Point source coordinates have been translated using https://sgs.geodatenzentrum.de/coordtrans and carefully checked to be accurate.
Results
1156 point sources are now listed as the German LPS submission 2017 with GNFR membership and stack height class information augmented. The screen shot below, taken from https://thru.de, gives an idea of the spatial distribution:
