  1. Revision of Reporting Guidelines and its Annexes Katarina Mareckova, Robert Wankmueller 14 May 2013, Istanbul

  2. Content • Introduction • Reporting obligations • What • Why • Summary of proposed revisions • Key questions • Next steps Reporting Guidelines (ECE/EB.AIR/97) for Estimating and Reporting Emission Data under CLRTAP

  3. UNECE/ CLRTAP UNECE United Nations Economic Commission for Europe is one of 5 regional commissions of UN. It brings together 56 countries (20% world population) and its major aim is to promote pan-European economic integration. - negotiated 5 environmental treaties including CLRTAP and Aarhus Convention LRTAP Convention entered into force 1983. • 51 Parties • was the first international legally binding instrument to deal with air pollution on regional bases - 8 Protocols The aim of the Convention is that Parties shall endeavour to limit and, as far as possible, gradually reduce and prevent air pollution including long-range transboundary air pollution by developing policies and strategies to combat the discharge of air pollutants through exchanges of information, consultation, research and monitoring.

  4. Protocols to the CLRTAP • The 1999 Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone; 25Parties. Entered into force on 17 May 2005. (Guidance documents to Protocol adopted by decision 1999/1, Revised guidance document on ammonia). • The 1998 Protocol on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs); 33 Parties. Entered into force on 23 October 2003. • The 1998 Protocol on Heavy Metals; 33 Parties. Entered into force on 29 December 2003. • The 1994 Protocol on Further Reduction of Sulphur Emissions; 29 Parties. Entered into force 5 August 1998. • The 1991 Protocol concerning the Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds or their Transboundary Fluxes; 24 Parties. Entered into force 29 September 1997. • The 1988 Protocol concerning the Control of Nitrogen Oxides or their Transboundary Fluxes; 34 Parties. Entered into force 14 February 1991. • The 1985 Protocol on the Reduction of Sulphur Emissions or their Transboundary Fluxes by at least 30 per cent; 25 Parties. Entered into force 2 September 1987. • The 1984 Protocol on Long-term Financing of the Cooperative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe (EMEP); 44 Parties. Entered into force 28 January 1988.

  5. Short history of reporting formats • SNAP sectors - CORINAIR system • Harmonisation with UNFCCC reporting system = > emissions reported in NFR sectors, GHGs excluded • NFR Tables (NFR01, NFR02, NFR09) • NOW: NFR14 /GNFR14 • 80s - National emissions of sulphur, nitrogenoxides, ammonia, NMVOC, carbonoxides and methane(1980 or 1986? onwards and eachfollowingyear) • EMEPWebDab – earliest information identified “reported in 1995” http://www.ceip.at/webdab-emission-database/ • HMs, POPs – first occur in 1996 data (reported in 1998)

  6. Why ? • Revised protocols: • Gothenburg protocol • HMs protocol • POPs protocol • Request from Parties to improve environmental analyses = > gridded emission data are needed in finer resolution (0.1 x 0.1 long/lat) • Harmonisationwith CRFbased on IPCC 2006 Guidelines

  7. What ? • Text of reporting Guidelines • Annexes • Elements : • Pollutants • Years • Sectors (NFR/GNFR) • Projections • IIR • Formats • Deadlines ? • ….. • Data flow - • no changes !!!

  8. What? Pollutants, Years, Projections • TSP - out • NEW: BC • Annual reporting of full time-series (1990 -2000 + protocol BY if different ) • Emissions before 1990 only when recalculated • Projections: • SOx, NOx, NMVOC, NH3, PM10, PM2.5, BC • 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2050

  9. What? Formats • 4 separate Excel files : • Annex 1 (Table 1) – Emissions • Annex 2 (Table 2) – Projections • Annex 5 ( ) Gridded data • Annex 6 () LPS • 2 Word files • Annex 3 IIR template – word • Annex 4 Notification form

  10. Formats: IIR and Notification form • IIR - minor revisions • New chapter on Gridded data and LPS • Notification form – minor revisions • to be sent to UNECE secretariat, copy to CEIP • shell provide information on completeness of data which have been submitted to CEIP (posted at CDR) – do not fill-in numbers (i.e. national totals) • New: table on LPS

  11. Revisions in NFR09 Main source categories: Harmonized with latest available version of CRF reporting software 1 Energy 2 IPPU (Industry and product use) 3 Agriculture 5 Waste 6A Other Memo items: • AviCruis (nat + int) • International maritime navigations • Multilateral operations • Transport (FU) • 6 B Other not included in nat. total • Natural emissions (Volcanoes, forest fires, other natural) National total National total (FU) Adjustments net total Adjusted NT Grid total

  12. Revisions in NFR09 cont. • 1 Energy • 1A1a and 1A1c – split (yes or no??) • 1A2fi Stationary combustion in manufacturing industries and construction: Manufacturing of machinery ? –is this one needed? • ? Coding and definitions of off-road transport- • E.g. Pipelines compressors -> pipeline transport ? • Fugitivesfrom fuels (1B) • Renamed – to be checked by EP • 151 NFR14 categories

  13. Revisions in NFR09 cont. • 2 IPPU (merged 2 Industry+ 3 Solvent use) • Number of new categories in CRF – do we need them all ? • ?? i.e. production of methanol, ethylene, ….., carbone black, other • CRF does not cover properly production of metals - difficulties with coding • Asphalt roofing, Road paving with asphalt – moved under product use 2 D • Solvent use: now all under 2 D • 151 NFR14 categories

  14. Revisions in NFR09 cont. • 3 Agriculture • Manure management - now 3B • All poultry in one category • Pigs - split in 2 (definitions needed) • Fertilizer use 3D 1 a , 3D1 b • 3D 3 (a,b,c) – the same as in NFR09 • NEW: Crops 3D 3d - to be defined – subcategories ? ?? • 3F filed burning of agricultural residuals • 151 NFR14 categories

  15. Revisions in NFR09 cont. • 5 Waste • 5C 1 – waste incineration • NEW: Sewage sludge incineration • 5D – waste water handling • Domestic • Industrial • 5E Other waste handling • 6 A Other (included in national total for entire territory)- specify in IIR • 151 NFR14 categories

  16. Gridded data and LPS –GNFR14 13 GNFR categories plus 4 memo items

  17. Key questions/ challenges • Harmonization with CRF – what is feasible ? • Do we need definitions for all NFR categories in reporting template ? (like IPCC provides in the Guidebook table 8.2) • Who could develop them? • NFR14 - categories • off road transport – coding and definitions • fugitive emissions – names, spilt • IPPU categories – coding , do we need them all • agriculture - crops? • Excel tables or Reporting software

  18. Next steps - proposal • TFEIP experts / EP check the coding, names and existing definitions and provide definitions for new categories • Comments to CEIP by the end of the meeting (by 27 May?? ) • New version of Annexes by 15 Jun – distribute for comments to “working group” and EMEP centers • Finalization of Annexes in July and submitting to UNECE secretariat for EMEP SB (Sept ) • Adopted during EB meeting in Dec 2013 • Published Q1 2014 • Link with EMEP/EEA inventory Guidebook 2014 ? and update software's as needed (?? ) • To be used 2015 onwards

  19. New deadlines for reporting • NEW Reporting deadlines: • 1st February – emissions • Resubmission in 2 weeks – 15 February • Gridded data , LPS, projections – 15st Feb • IIR - 1thMarch
