An improvement of methods for the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is necessary to ensure effective control of commitments to emission reduction. In this article the mathematical models of greenhouse gas emission processes from cement, lime, and glass production at the level of individual plants in Poland have been analysed. Results of the spatial analysis are presented in the form of a geo-spatial database of emissions, and visualised as layers on digital maps. Uncertainty of the inventory results is calculated using the Monte Carlo approach.
