  4. Timeline of UK CRF Reporter Implementation Sep ‘05 Jun ‘05 Sep ‘04 Jun ‘04 Dec ‘04 Mar ‘05 Dec ‘05 Initial trials – connected NAEI and CRF backend databases together CRF Rep.Operational 22 Feb (1day) July (1 week) 31 May (1 day) 15th Jan submission Liaison with UNFCCCduring UK trial of  version Meetings with UNFCCCduring final improvements Develop queries to populatethe CRF Reporter Db directly Create NAEI XML outputfor CRF Reporter to accept CRF Implementation ` NAEI Db preparation

  5. Summary – UK experience (i) Advantages • A big improvement over the existing CRF • Sector experts can complete their own parts of the CRF and submit to the NIC – reduces transcription errors • More internal checks that the existing CRF – so better QC of data prior to submission • CRF Reporter helpdesk works! Limitations • Need to install the software – and re-install each time there is a revision • Less transparency when trying to trace aggregation errors

  6. Summary – UK experience (ii) Time and planning to implement • Some work needed to learn how to use the Reporter and check output • check emissions in CRF Reporter agree with your last submission • importing notes from the old CRF might be time consuming • training of sector experts to use the tool • Allow yourself time to become familiar with the software • Start as soon as you can!!

  7. Acknowledgements With thanks to … • FCCC – James Grabert, Roberto Acosta and the CRF Reporter development team at the FCCC for all their assistance • GHGI – funded by UK Defra and the Devolved Administrations • Jim Penman – Defra Project Officer, and Joanne Halliday and Susan Donaldson

  9. Quality Control:(i) Checking Checking Procedures -data source quality -suitability -reality • reality check • sector aggregation • formats • inventory consistency -methodology -alternatives -check units, time series consistency -vs last year -energy/mass balance -mass balance checks -time series consistency -pollutant expert check -energy check -activity check Annual Data Flow UNECE NFR Check 1:Choosing Check 2:Using Check 4:Producing Check 5:Reporting Raw Data: Emissions Data Request: Compilation: Dissemination: Check 3: Applying UNFCCC CRF

  10. QA/QC programme and plan QA activities -peer reviews -review of emission factors & methods e.g. Peer Review: Aviation Other Peer Review: …… Quality Assurance e.g. Peer Review: Agriculture Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Data collection National Inventory Report Preparation Archiving Core Activity Database entry Emission Calculation Output (CRF) -check tables and numbers -Second person check -database files -spreadsheet files -source data -manuals -report -unique reference -check data input data -Time series -pollutant expert check -Global check -Explain large changes -Database fuel totals-vs-National statistics -mass balance checks -Full referencing of input data -check units, time series consistency -second person check -document on QA/QC page -online manual -check database CRF output -CRF totals -check for large changes from previous year Quality Control Key Documentation Checking External Check
