2006 IPCC Guidelines: The New Sector “Industrial Processes & Product Use (IPPU)” Bonn, 20. May 2005 Maritim Hotel Side-Event at SB22 on “2006 Guidelines” Dr. Jochen Harnisch, Ecofys GmbH
Outline • Why combine “Industrial Processes” and “Solvent and Other Product Use”? • New sector structure • Non-energy use of fossil fuels • Boundary between “Energy” & “IPPU” • New emission factors • Conclusions
Combining Industrial Processes and Solvent Use • „Solvent & Other Product Use“ comprised only 4 pages of guidance in 1996 Revised Guidelines! • “Industrial Processes” in 1996 Guidelines already covered some product emissions • 2000 Good Practice Guidance did not address „Solvent & Other Product Use“ at all • Need for consolidation of approaches and balanced presentation of information • Recommendation from Scoping Meeting to combine “Industrial Processes” & „Solvent and Other Product Use“ into IPPU-Volume
New sector structure • New sources added • New gases added • Re-grouping of sources • More coherent source categories • Possibly some adjustments required based on relevance of sources and new sources becoming know
Non Energy Use of Fuels • Relevant sources included more clearly • More differentiated factors for „oxidation during use“ • Accomodation of solvent use
Boundary between Volume „Energy“ and „IPPU“ • Operational definitions of energy versus industrial process emissions exist in 1996 GL and FOD 2006 GL • More consistent approach desirable in principle e.g. in steel, refineries & petrochemical industry • However, there are varying existing national practices and limitation to data availability • Scoping Process recommended to maintain the flexibililty • Future national intensity targets and other ghg reporting scheme may require more consistency
New Emission Factors • New sources and gases as well as technological development and improved knowledge result in the need for new emission factors (tier 1, 2, 3) • Proposed time-dependent tier 1 emission factors e.g. for HFC-23 and Electrcical Equipment • Problem of free riders • Sets of new emission factors e.g. for semiconductors, foams, refrigeration and electrical equipment • Expert judgement versus full traceability as required for EFDB
Conclusions • Significant gain of knowledge about sources and gases since 96/00 • Strong participation from industry • Dynamic sector with rapid technological change • Policies and voluntary actions already show a strong impact on emissions from several sources • Emission are sometimes physically unbound -> strong requirements regarding transparency and traceability of emission factors • Challenge to maintain the evolutionary approach
