  4. UK National Inventory System (DEFRA) DEFRA EU MONITORING MECHANISM 15th January & 15 March (AEA Technology:- netcen) LLUCF inventory (CEH/FC/DEFRA) UK Emission Inventory Database CRF Agricultural Inventory (IGER/DEFRA) Defra Contracts Other Inventory Development (Contracts/DEFRA) NIR UNFCCC 15 April Energy & Fuel Statistics (DTI) Pollution Inventory (Environment Agency) Transport Statistics (DfT) Emission Factors (IPCC Guidelines) Official Datasets: Inventory Compilation & QA/QC Data Gathering Checking Interpretation Calculation MOU* Development (2004/5) Statistical Datasets Unofficial Datasets: UnOffical Datasets: Industry & NGO’s (UKPIA, UKOOA Other Trade Associations, Individual Companies) Emission Factors Guidebooks & Literature Key Controlled Data Flow Data Quality Agreements MOU* Development (2005/6) Data Sources: Xxx...

  6. UK NIS – Key Data Providers Key data providers • DTI – Energy balance data • EA/SEPA/NIDoE – Industrial point source data • DfT – Transport data • ESI – Power station data • UKPIA – Refinery and petroleum products data • UKOOA – Offshore oil and gas data • Corus – Iron and Steel data • Other trade associations and industry contacts

  7. Single National Entity functions Defra’s key NIS roles & responsibilities NIS Management & Planning • Overall control of the NIS development & function • Management of contracts & delivery of GHGI • Definition of performance criteria for NIS key organisations Development of Legal & Contractual Infrastructure • Review of legal & organisational structure • Implementation of legal instruments and contractual developments as required to meet guidelines  NIS implementation plan in place.  Ongoing review of current NIS. Development of MOUs or new legal mechanisms being discussed.

  8. Inventory Agency functions Netcen NIS roles & responsibilities Planning • Close co-ordination with Defra to deliver NIS • Review of current NIS performance • Assessment of required development • Scheduling of tasks and responsibilities to deliver GHGI and NIS on time, to budget Preparation • Drafting of agreements / MOUs • Review of source data & identify developments required to improve GHGI quality Management • Documentation & archiving • Dissemination of information  NIS implementation plan in place. Regular meetings with Defra.  Evolution of current inventory compilation system. Ongoing programme of meetings with Key Data Provider organisations.  Contacts Database, Document archive, Development of NIS information for Key Data Providers

  9. Key Data Provider functions Data Provider NIS roles & responsibilities Data Quality, Format, Timeliness, Security • Close co-ordination with Netcen to deliver source data in appropriate format and in time for inventory compilation phase, allowing for all required QA-QC procedures. • Assessment of their current data acquisition, processing & reporting systems, taking regard for QAQC requirements. • Identify any required organisational or legal development and resources to meet more stringent NIS data requirements, notably the security of data provision in the future. • Communication with Defra, Netcen and their peers / members to help to disseminate information regarding NIS  Ongoing programme of meetings between Netcen and Key Data Providers. UK NIS stakeholder workshop planned for May 2005. Review of KDP data systems planned for Summer 2005.

  10. NIS implementation plan 2003 2004 2005 2006 Jan July Dec Jan July Dec Jan July Dec Jan July Dec UK NISimplemented Defra examining NIS implementation requirements Web site operational Meeting with KDPs NIS Annex in NIR NIS implementation Netcen developing MoUs ? ? Implement legal instruments? - discuss options internally - involved Defra legal team • liaison with Defra • develop MoUs for Key Data Providers • MoUs build on close working realtionship between Netcen and KDPs • degree of formalisation • legal character (MoU’s)

  11. Experiences of and plans for the establishing the UK NIS • Implementation • UK working on NIS implementation since 2003 • Resources • Significant resources needed, delivered and still being delivered • Degree of formalisation • Are MoUs strict enough to ensure data delivery? • Legal instruments might be required • Effects of the EU ETS on data delivery • Data reporting requirements of ETS has impacted on GHG key data providers • Some Key Data Providers more sceptical of GHG data use • Need to closely couple data delivery of ETS and NIS

  12. Official consideration & approval Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Data collection National Inventory Report Preparation Archiving Database entry Core Activity Emission Calculation Output (CRF) • Inputs from all sector experts • Content evolves following FCCC Expert Review Team comments and Peer Review comments • Netcen co-ordinates • Internal review • Defra review
