  1. Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines including Software for the Workbook UNFCCC Workshop on the Preparation of National Communications from non-Annex I PartiesApril 26-30, 2004, ManilaKiyoto TanabeProgramme Officer, IPCC-NGGIP-TSU

  2. IPCC NGGIP • IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)NGGIP (National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme) • to develop and refine an internationally-agreed methodology and software for the calculation and reporting of national GHG emissions and removals; and • to encourage the widespread use of this methodology by countries participating in the IPCC and by signatories of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

  3. Currently available 2002: Database on GHG Emission Factors (EFDB) 2003: Reports on Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry • Good Practice Guidance for LULUCF, etc. 2006: Revision of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines (2006 IPCC Guidelines) Reports & Tools for National GHG Inventories 1995: 1997: 2000: IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories & Software for the Workbook Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National GHG Inventories (GPG2000) About to start

  4. Revised IPCC 1996 Guidelines • Approach: • Annual emissions and removals • By sector • By gas • Tiered approach • National methods and emission factors can/should be used within the common reporting framework

  5. Structure • Volume I Reporting Instructions • Introduction, general instructions, reporting tables, uncertainty management and glossary • Volume II Workbook • step-by-step instructions how to estimate the emissions • Default values • IPCC Software – a supplement to the Workbook • Volume III Reference Manual • Scientific background, understanding of the methodologies, references

  6. Sectors • Energy • Industrial Processes • Solvent and Other Product Use • Agriculture • Land-Use Change and Forestry • Waste

  7. Gases • Carbon dioxide (CO2) • Methane (CH4) • Nitrous Oxide • Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and SF6 • Ozone and aerosol precursors (CO, NMVOCs, NOx and SO2)

  8. What is the IPCC Software? • A tool to help users (inventory compilers) prepare national GHG inventories based on the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines • It contains: • Worksheets from the Workbook (Vol.2) • Formulas are built in.  Facilitate calculation of GHG emissions/removals • Reporting tables from the Reporting Instructions (Vol.1) • Linkages between relevant cells are built in. Facilitate reporting in accordance with the Guidelines.

  9. Users • For those who do not have a national inventory available already and are not experienced in producing such inventories • The software will be quite useful. • Even for those who have their national inventories based on their own methodology • The software will be still a valuable tool for self-verification and/or for formatting the summary reporting tables. • Note: There is no tool for transferring data automatically to this software.

  10. Attention • When running the software, the users should read: • Software Manual (available in English, Spanish, French, Russian) • Workbook of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines • The software should be used with the commercial spreadsheet application Excel, version 5 or a later version.

  11. How to obtain and install • It is recommended to download the software and its manual through the internet from the IPCC-NGGIP website:http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gl/software.htmGuidance on how to install is given on the website. • It is also available in the form of CDROM, or in the form of Floppy Disks.

  12. How to start • Double-click the IPCC Software icon. • Enable “macros”. • Specify the year of inventory by: • selecting a year from the drop-down list; or • type in a new year (4 digits) • Specify the template by: • selecting a year that you want to use as a starting point; or • selecting “Blank sheets” • Then, “Overview.xls” will come up. Type in your contact information etc., and proceed to the next step.

  13. Completing your inventory • Clicking “Sectors” at the top of the screen, and select the sector you will work with. Then, a new file for that sector will be opened. • Energy (Module1.xls) • Industrial Processes (Module2.xls) • Agriculture (Module4.xls) • Land -Use Change and Forestry (Module5.xls) • Waste (Module6.xls) • Solvents and Other Product Use sector is not included in this software, because there is no Workbook methodology for this sector.

  14. Energy sector module • Contains the following worksheets. • WS1-1: CO2 from Energy Sources (Ref approach) • WS1-2: CO2 from Fuel Combustion by Source Categories (Tier 1) • WS1-3: Non-CO2 from Fuel Combustion by Source Categories (Tier 1) • WS1-4: SO2 emissions from Fuel Combustion by Source Categories (Tier 1) • WS1-5: Emissions from Aircraft (Tier 2) • WS1-6: Methane Emissions from Coal Mining and Handling • WS1-7: Methane Emissions from Oil and Gas Activities (Tier 1) • WS1-8: Ozone Precursors and SO2 from Refining

  15. Industrial Processes sector module • Contains the following worksheets. • WS2-1: Cement Production • WS2-2: Production of Lime • WS2-3: Limestone and Dolomite Use • WS2-4: Soda Ash Production and Use • WS2-5: Production and Use of Miscellaneous Mineral Products • WS2-6: Ammonia Production • WS2-7: Nitric Acid Production • WS2-8: Adipic Acid Production • WS2-9: Carbide Production • WS2-10: Production of Other Chemicals

  16. Industrial Processes sector module • Contains the following worksheets. • WS2-11: Metal Production • WS2-12: Pulp and Paper Industries • WS2-13: Food and Drink • WS2-14: Production of Halocarbons and Sulphur Hexafluoride • WS2-15: Consumption of Halocarbons and Sulphur Hexafluoride

  17. Agriculture sector module • Contains the following worksheets. • WS4-1: Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Domestic Livestock: Enteric Fermentation and Manure Management • WS4-2: Methane Emissions from Flooded Rice Fields • WS4-3: Prescribed Burning of Savannas • WS4-4: Field Burning of Agricultural Residues • WS4-5: Agricultural Soils

  18. LUCF sector module • Contains the following worksheets. • WS5-1: Changes in Forest and Other Woody Biomass Stocks • WS5-2: Forest and Grassland Conversion - CO2 from Biomass • WS5-3: On-site Burning of Forests - Non-CO2 Trace Gases from Biomass Burning • WS5-4: Abandonment of Managed Lands • WS5-5: CO2 Emissions and Removals from Soil • This module contains a slight modification of the methodology. WS5-5 has been extended so that many different land-use management systems can be included in the calculation.

  19. Waste sector module • Contains the following worksheets. • WS6-1: Methane Emissions from Solid Waste Disposal Sites • WS6-2: Methane Emissions from Domestic and Commercial Wastewater and Sludge Treatment • WS6-3: Methane Emissions from Industrial Wastewater and Sludge Handling • WS6-4: Indirect Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Human Sewage

  20. Completion - Summary Tables • While you are completing the sector worksheets, the sectoral and summary tables in Overview.xls will be filled automatically. • Long Summary: Table 7A of the Reporting Instructions • Short Summary: Table 7B of the Reporting Instructions • Uncertainty: Table 8A of the Reporting Instructions (This table should be filled manually.)
