  1. FAIRMODE Current activities WG2-SG3 Urban Emissions and Projections Kjeller, 14th September 2010 Rafael Borge and Julio Lumbreras

  2. SG3 objectives • To identify and minimize errors and uncertainties involved in emissions and scenarios used in air quality models • To provide guidelines or suggestions that may help to reach the model quality objectives (MQO) • To discuss specific issues related to scenario development • Make use of relevant information from existing procedures, projects and working groups, i.e. TFEIP-EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory book

  3. General approach A. Analysis of standards and methodologies B. Estimation of uncertainties in emission inventories E. Particular requirements of emission scenarios Directive 2008/50/EC (AQD) C. Estimation of uncertainties in emission scenarios D. Estimation of uncertainties in emissions and emission projections preparation for modelling F. Suggestion of standards / guidelines for the AQD

  4. Outcome of the 2nd FAIRMODE plenary meeting: • Urban emission compilation is a key issue at European level • Emission Inventories and Scenarios  Urban Emissions and Projections • Both guidance and relevant exchange fora are needed • Links to TFEIP/EIONET, GEIA, JRC-EDGAR and other SG • Funding issues • SG3 deliverable for 2010: Background document on the emission needs at local scale • First draft available at FAIRMODE website (SG3_background_document_sep10_draft.pdf)

  5. Introduction and scope  • Role of AQM in the AQ Directive • Need and importance of different type of emission/projections • Focus on the urban scale  ?

  6. 2. Background • Emission Inventory requirements for AQ modelling: • Accuracy • Spatial allocation • Temporal allocation • Chemical speciation • Review of recent/ongoing activities • Substantial knowledge / guidance (GHG mainly) • Lack of general references / methods

  7. 3. Key issues for urban emission inventories (emission repressentativity) • -Emission inventories • Methodology, transparency • Harmonization and checks • Completeness • Approach to key sectors • Adequate for AQM/application requirements • Spatial and temporal resolution • Uncertainty • Documentation

  8. - Scenarios and emission projections • Consistency with the emission inventory • Scenarios • P&M consistency and uncertainty • Documentation NO emissions. Baseline Vs Policy

  9. Next steps: • Formalization of the analysis / suggestions made during the first year of the subgroup • Incorporation of the subgroup outputs in the review process of the AQD (horizon 2013)? Check-lists Benchmarks Best practices Emission-related model quality objectives (MQO)

  10. Agenda for parallel session • 1.-SG3 introductions and aims of the meeting • 2.- Feedback on recent meetings: • a) FAIRMODE session at HARMO-13 • b) NIAM meeting Laxemburg/IIASA • c) PEP meeting Larnaca • 3.- Update on expert contributions • 4.- Discussion on draft guidelines for urban inventories and projections • 5.- Define work plan • 6.- Any other business
