  1. Transport Expert Panel Summary ReportIstanbul, 2013-05-15

  2. Agenda

  3. The ERMES Group European Research group on Mobile Emission Sources: www.ermes-group.eu • network of mobile emission laboratories/modellers and model users, funding agencies Main activity production of emission factors • to coordinate research and measurement programmes Link with TFEIP • Executive board: Dilara, Nziachristos • Join ERMES plenary 26-27 September

  4. COPERT HBEFA Own model COPERT-based Inventory models oversaw by ERMES

  5. Methodology updates • New vehicle classes (small gasoline, diesel, mopeds 2s-4s) • NOX new emission factor for euro5 • 23% increase • VOC new evaporative emission methodology • changes depending on vehicle category • Update emission factor for ethanol, cng

  6. Methodology improvements • TFEIP-EP could produces relevant documentation instrumental for parties to justify the adjustment (e.g. NOx emission factors) • Time lag between guidebook update and methodology/software update. Relevant documentation could be posted on TFEIP-EP website.

  7. Aviation methodology • Extensive study under way by EUROCONTROL / EEA • New methodology between Tier 3A and Tier 3B possibly including: • New LTO values based on ICAO Taxi Times for a large number of aircrafts • New Cruise fuel burn and emission data • Under investigation new Taxi Times for world airports • Supporting document from EUROCONTROL • EEA excel tool comparing EUROCONTROL and LPRTAP methodologies.

  8. Aviation Chapter • Chapter can be approved including the BC update and table updates from Eurocontrol • New LTO values based on ICAO Taxi Times for a large number of aircrafts • New Cruise fuel burn and emission data • Influence of taxi times • Investigate the possibility of a guidebook update for 2014 updating table 2-2 and 3-5

  9. Aviation Chapter • New appendix D – description of the Eurocontrol Tier 3 methodology • Better remove if it stays in the current form • Improve readability, i.e. explain acronym, simplify wording for users • Liaise with Eurocontrol for publishing material on TFEIP-EP website (e.g. TIER 3 methodology if appendix D is removed, indications for airport base taxi-time, EEA excel tool)

  10. Miscellaneous issues • NFR code for pipeline compressors: • mobile source for consistency with the GHG reporting. • Completeness • road dust (additional category outside the national totals for modeler inventory?) • Mandatory reporting of international shipping? • Support in projections at least until 2030 • www.ec4macs.eu

  11. TRACCS – Data Collection • DG Clima project to update databases of stocks, activity and cost items of all transport modes from 2005 to 2010 • National experts have been approached to submit national data • Data will be then used for modelling (GAINS, TREMOVE, COPERT, …), policy purposes (emission limits, incentives, …) • More information on http://traccs.emisia.com

  12. COPERT 5 updates • Scoping document is prepared • Survey will be posted on TFEIP website or distributed via email • Methodology: Tier 2, Tier 3+, temporal/spatial resolution, semi-automatic fuel balancing, additional future categories, include NRMM • Software: Flexibility, transparency, user guidance, QA/QC, user manual • Period: Winter 2013

  13. Work-programme of 2013-2014
