Transport Expert Panel

This summary report provides updates on various topics related to transport, including road, aviation, maritime, and railways. It discusses issues such as particulate size, heavy metals emissions, CO2-related issues, data collection, and the potential development of COPERT 5 software. It also highlights uncertainties in mobile source emission estimates for Belarus. Announcements for upcoming events and workshops are included.

  1. Transport Expert Panel Summary ReportBern, 2012-05-15

  2. Agenda

  3. Work-programme of 2011-2012

  4. BC/PM on Transport • BC Update of Transport chapters • Road transport: Ok! • Aviation: Literature data • Maritime: Literature data • Railways/off-road: Road transport proxies • Consistency of PM/BC in transport chapters • Particulate size: TSP>=PM10>=PM2.5 (all is fine!) • ΣHM well below PM emission factors (all is fine!) • ΣPOP’s well below VOC (all is fine!)

  5. Heavy Metals • Large differences (several orders of magnitude) in HM IEFs between countries • TNO work on fuel analysis around Europe (175 samples, 9 countries!) showed only trace levels of HMs on market fuels • No correlation between species • No differences (stat. sig.) between countries • Lube-oil key source of exhaust HM • Danish data on heavy metal emissions generally agreed, already included in COPERT 4 v9.0 (Oct 2011). • Cross-checked against exhaust concentrations, seem rational

  6. Aviation Chapter • Extensive study currently 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 Taxi Times for world airports • New Cruise fuel burn and emission data • New Chapter hopefully ready for review in Winter 2012

  7. CO2 Related Issues • A/C Use, Lube Oil and Urea CO2 introduced in COPERT • Including A/C use should not affect total CO2 reported • To be used for balancing calc and stat FC • Lube-Oil and Urea CO2 on top of FC derived one

  8. TRACCS – Data Collection • DG Clima Project to update databases of stocks, activity and cost items of all transport modes • National experts will be approached to submit national data • Data will be then used for modelling(GAINS, TREMOVE, COPERT, …), policy purposes (emission limits, incentives, …)

  9. COPERT 5: Is it time? • Scoping document is being prepared and will be circulated for comments/ideas • Methodology: Tier 2, Tier 3+, Modes, Temporal/Spatial Resolution, Fuel balancing • Software: Flexibility, transparency, user guidance, QA/QC • Period: Winter 2013 (?)

  10. Uncertainties of mobile sources emission estimates for Belarus • Different Tier methods result to large differences • Technology classification appears as one of the largest sources of uncertainty (in countries not following Euro steps) • - CO and NMVOC estimates are overall of greatest uncertainty; NOx estimates ore of lowest uncertainty;

  11. Work-programme for the coming year(2012-2013)

  12. Announcements • ERMES Meeting:Late September 2012, stay tuned on Expert Panel’s web-page for date, registration, or sign-up to the ERMES mailing-list by sending an email to panagiota.dilara@jrc.ec.europa.eu • Advanced users COPERT workshop:Oct/Nov 2012 @ EEA, official announcement to follow • Transport & Air Pollution conference:26-27 November, Thessaloniki, http://TAPconference.org
