  1. Agricultural Activity Data Requirements for National Emission InventoriesDr. Bernard Hyde, EPAClimate Change and Environmental Research Programme Agricultural Statistics Liaison Group Thursday 18th November 2010 CSO, Ardee Road, Rathmines, Dublin 6

  2. Environmental Protection Agency • The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has responsibilities for a wide range of licensing, enforcement, monitoring and assessment activities associated with environmental protection • Licensing and permitting • Environmental enforcement • Resources and waste management • Climate Change • Environmental monitoring • Environmental assessment • Advice and guidance • Water Framework Directive

  3. National Emission Inventories • Greenhouse Gas Inventories • UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol • EU Monitoring Mechanism Decision (280/2004/EC) • Air Pollutant Inventories • UNECE Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) and its 8 Protocols • National Emission Ceilings Directive (2001/81/EC) • Large Combustion Plant Directive (2001/80/EC)

  4. What do we report? • Greenhouse Gas Inventories • Inventories on CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 annually (15th Jan to EU and 15th April UNFCCC) • National Inventory Report (UNFCCC 15th April) • Air Pollutant Inventories (15th February annually CLRTAP) • Main pollutants; NOx, SO2, NMVOC, NH3 and CO • Particulate matter; TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 • Heavy metals; Pb, Cd, Hg (priority) As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Se and Zn (additional) • Persistent Organic Pollutants; Dioxins (PCDD/PCDF), PAHs, HCB (mandatory) PCBs (voluntary) • National data gridded every 5th year (EMEP 50km x 50km) • Informative Inventory Report (15th March annually)

  5. What do we report? (contd) • Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD) • Inventories on NOx, SO2 and Dust annually (30th Sept) • National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD) • NOx, SO2, NMVOC and NH3 annually (31st Dec) • National Emission Projections – Future emission trends

  8. Animal No’s and Disaggregation • June and December census • Cattle • Dairy Cows • Suckler Cows • Bulls • Cattle 0-1 • Cattle 1-2 • Cattle >2 yrs • Sheep • Lowland and Upland ewes • Lowland and Upland rams • Lowland and Upland lambs • Lowland and Upland other sheep >1 yr old

  9. Animal No’s and Disaggregation • Pigs • Gilts in Pig • Gilts not yet served • Sows in Pig • Other Sows for breeding • Boars • Pigs under 20 kg and above 20 kg • Poultry – DAFF • Horses, goats, mules and asses • Fertilizer stats – DAFF • Lime stats - DAFF

  10. Crop statistics and disaggregation • Grassland • Silage • Hay • Rough Grazing • Tillage Crops • Winter and spring barley • Winter and spring wheat • Winter and spring oats • Other crops – beet, peas, pulses etc

  11. Other statistics of interest • Census of Agriculture • DED analysis for gridded data • Agricultural machinery • Farm Structures Survey • Manure Management Practices

  12. Other statistics of interest • Packaging wastes • Plastics (feed, fertiliser and seed bags, animal health, agrochemical etc) • Glass (animal health, agrochemicals) • Metals (oil drums, sheep dips) • Paper and cardboard • Non-packaging plastics • Silage and horticulture films and sheets • Bale twine, wrap, cores • Animal health wastes – spent sheep dip, syringes, needles, swabs, dressings, aerosols, unused medicines etc.

  13. Other statistics of interest • Agrochemicals – unused (pesticides, dessicants, adjuvants), washings • Machinery waste • waste fuels (engine, gear and lubricating oils) • batteries, tyres, scrap machinery parts • Construction and demolition wastes • Other wastes – paints, asbestos, fluorescent tubes, electrical equipment (possible PCB’s, CFC’s)
