1. Introduction What environmental issues is the CLRTAP trying to address?
• Health impacts – toxic pollutants
• Acidification and ecosystem impacts – deposition, and “persistent” pollutants
• Tropospheric (low-level) ozone formation – pollutants that form ozone.
1. Introduction Revised Reporting Guidelines:
• The revision of the Gothenburg Protocol provided a
sensible opportunity to update/revise the reporting requirements
• The Executive Body published their decisions following their 2013 meeting (2013/7).
2a. CLRTAP Inventory: Sources Sources: • All “primary” man-made emissions • Standard reporting structure for sources
– Updated “Nomenclature for Reporting” (NFR) – To maintain alignment with GHG reporting – 1A Fuel Combustion
• 1A1 Energy Industries – 1A1a Public Electricity Generation
– 1B Fugitive Emissions (fuels, but not combustion) – 2 Industrial Processes and Product Use – (e.g. chemical industry, solvents) – 3 Agriculture – 5 Waste
2a. CLRTAP Inventory: Sources Sources: • Numerous “memo items” reported for information
– International shipping – International aviation – “Natural” sources (forests, wildfires, volcanoes…)
• National totals to be based on fuel sold
– Compliance is based on fuel used for some countries.
Pollutants: • Black Carbon added (voluntary reporting).
2b. CLRTAP Inventory: Methods The EMEP/EEA Guidebook: • The most recent version of the EMEP/EEA
Guidebook shall be used as the default reference material for methodologies
• Tier1, 2 and 3 methodologies
• Parties can use “their own” methodologies if these are “better” than those available from the Guidebook.
2c. CLRTAP Inventory: Time
Time Resolution & Coverage: • Annual - 1990 – 2013 (2 years behind current year) • It is good practice to revise the whole time series:
– To capture methodological improvements – Ensure internal consistency
2d. CLRTAP Inventory: Template
See reporting template…
2d. CLRTAP Inventory: Reporting Notation Keys • “NE” - not estimated • “IE” - included elsewhere • “C” - confidential information • “NA” - not applicable • “NO” - not occurring • “NR” - not relevant.
3. CLRTAP: Methodology Report Informative Inventory Report (IIR) • A methodology report should be submitted each
year (after the emissions dataset). – Enough detail to explain the approach, and input data,
that has been used. – Key categories shall be identified – An uncertainty analysis shall be undertaken
• This report is used in the “Stage 3” review process – As well as being a valuable reference document.
• Report in English is “requested”…
4. CLRTAP Inventory: Projections
Reporting Emission Projections: • Emission projections to be reported every 2 years
– “with measures”, and “with additional measures” – 2020, 2025, 2030 (2040, 2050 if available) – SO2, NOX, NH3, PM2.5, NMVOCs (black carbon if
available)
5. CLRTAP: Large Point Sources Large Point Sources (LPS) • Dataset of emissions from large point sources is
required every 2 years (from 2016 onwards). – Large point sources are those emitting above specified
thresholds. – SO2, NOX, CO, NMVOCs, NH3, PM2.5, PM10, Pb, Cd, Hg,
PAHs x 4, PCDD/F, HCB, PCBs. – Stack height classes to be reported as well (<45m, 45-
100m, 100-150m, 150-200m, >200m).
6. CLRTAP: Gridded Data Gridded Emissions Data • Reported every 2 years (from
2016 onwards). • gridded national emissions for
“all” pollutants. • 0.1°×0.1° latitude-longitude
projection • By GNFR sector.
7. CLRTAP Reporting: Adjustments Addition of Adjustments Process • Changes to the science/understanding… impacts on
national emission estimates • Can move Parties into non-compliance. • The Adjustments Process allows Parties to apply for
“changes” to their inventory for compliance purposes.
6. Summary (1 of 2) “One step at a time!” • There are several elements to reporting. • Some countries do not make complete submissions.
• Approach - start with the national inventory, and improve completeness of reporting “one step at a time”.
• Your top priority is submitting a complete national emissions inventory dataset each year…
• … and a methodology report (time consuming)
6. Summary (2 of 2) “One step at a time!” • After you have a good quality inventory & report…
• Projected emissions – can be political. • Large point sources – hopefully not too difficult • Gridded/mapped emissions – quite difficult! But
very useful.
THANK-YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
