  1. TACIS Training Seminar on Air and Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories and Reporting Almaty,19 – 20 October 2006 Eva Goossens(EEA) Martin Adams (AEAT), Renate Ishmukhametov (UNFCCC), Tinus Pulles (TNO) and Brinda Wachs (UNECE)

  2. TACIS • Technical Aid to the Commonwealth of Independent States • Institutional restructuring programme • European Commission • Since 1991 • 12 EECCA Countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan)

  3. EEA TACIS project • Goal: support EEA in collection of environmental data and capacity building in EECCA countries • 3 main components: • Environmental assessment (air, water and waste) • Reporting on water quality • Reporting on air (air pollutant/GHG emissions and air quality) • Capacity building of EECCA country experts • Workshop 1: Air pollutant and GHG emission inventories (Almaty, 19-20 Oct) • Workshop 2: Air pollution (Moldova;7-8 Nov) • Russian translation of EMEP/CORINAIR Guidebook chapters http://ewindows.eu.org/belgrade07/eecca/tacis/tacis_06

  4. Training seminar: What have we discussed? DAY ONE • International reporting obligations (UNFCCC, CLRTAP) • Available sources of inventory guidance • International inventory review process • Institutional arrangements and overcoming obstacles DAY TWO • Activity data • Emission factor issues • Dataflows and QA/QC • Some available software tools • Sector-specifictraining: transport / iron and steel

  5. Key messages & conclusions • Inventories are based on sciencebut are primarily policy-driven activities performed in response to the obligations undertaken by Governments • Work will always by limited by resources • An inventory just has to be good enough (key sources) • Inventory compilation is a process of continuous improvement that never ends • Many emission inventory tools and guidance available • A clear cycle for inventory compilation is important • Need for a good communication with dataholders • Discussions between countries, (formal and in-formal links)

  6. Future capacity building workshops: suggestions • Content • Examples of institutional arrangements in EECCA countries • Training on available inventory IT tools • Calculation of uncertainties • How to use of facility level data for the national inventory (reliability, incompleteness) • Set-up • Extended training period for experts (3-4 days) • More practical work • Country-specific training • Additional request • Translation of published materials in Russian (i.e. international inventory guidelines, manuals etc)

  7. Russian translation of EMEP/CORINAIR Guidebook • Translation into Russian: • PART A: Index, comments and introduction • PART B: General methodology, good practice etc • Group 1: Combustion in energy and transformation industries • Group 2: Non-industrial combustion plants • Group 3: Combustion in the manufacturing industry • Group 4: Production processes • Group 7: Road transport (updated chapter) • Group 8: Other mobile sources and machinery • http://ewindows.eu.org/belgrade07/eecca/tacis • Review of translated chapters required
