  2. Supporting UAMAs with Citywide MethodologyAccounting tool for post-2012 mechanisms • The Citywide Methodology is a two-part tool, with project and inventory-based components. In this sense – it is a transitional mechanism, spanning both pre and post-2012 markets. • The World Bank has formed a working group with IDB, CAI, ITDP, WRI, and EMBARQ to develop transport inventory and project-based tools for next generation of carbon finance and cap and trade schemes. • This work is being mirrored in the other sectors supported by the Citywide Methodology, with the goal of creating a comprehensive tool.

  3. Inventory ArchitectureMore than just a data collection exercise • Define uses for the inventory • Define target parameters • Prepare formula(e) • Prepare data collection and verification methods • Prepare methods to estimate level of certainty • Prepare data entry and presentation templates

  4. Inventory UsesInventory uses define its structure Will the Inventory… Compare Cities against Each Other? No No need for identical boundaries and data collection methods Leverage Climate Finance? Yes Inventory must be easily auditable by a third party Monitor Performance over Time? Yes Data parameters must be readily available on a regular basis Estimate Emissions Reductions? Sort of Inventory primarily used to measure efficiency performance

  5. Inventory ParametersWhat do we want to track over time? • If the GHG inventory presented the gross amount of emissions in a developing city per year, we could expect the inventory results to increase over time – masking any improvements that might have been made. • We could evaluate these emissions against a baseline – what would emissions have been if the city did not make any attempts to be more energy efficient -- but at such a large scale, this type of baseline could be difficult to evaluate or prove. We are looking for something meaningful, but also simple.

  6. Inventory ParametersWhat do we want to track over time? • Since we want to capture improvements in emissions (and establishing a baseline can be difficult), we could instead evaluate the efficiency of a transport system – that is, we could evaluate emissions against other measureable parameters, like population, to see how efficiently the transport system consumes energy.

  7. Inventory ParametersNormalization factors • National transport sector emissions • National GDP • City population • Average fuel prices • ____________________ • ____________________ • ____________________

  8. FormulaeFor what calculations do we need to collect data? For a given vehicle type in a given country: Tons CO2e Liter (kg) Tons CO2e kJ kJ kg kg Liter (kg) Tons CO2e Liter (kg) 1 = x x Fuel Volume IPCC Guidelines CO2e Content of Fuel IEA National Heating Values Basic structure for all operations methodologies Tons CO2e Liter (kg) km km 2 = x x Activity Level CO2e Content of Fuel Greenhouse Gas Emissions Average Annual Fuel Efficiency We want to know: Vehicle Inventory Fuel Efficiency Activity Level 3

  9. Data CollectionWhat criteria do we want to establish for data collection activities? • Menu of data collection options. • Selection based on resource availability and • necessary level of certainty. Flexibility • Collection methods taken from existing • models and practices (e.g., IVE, COPERT) Credibility

  10. Data CollectionDeveloping the menu of data collection methods Vehicle Inventory Fuel Efficiency Activity Level L or kg / km annual VKT per vehicle by mode, model, and fuel type

  11. Data CollectionLOC methods are not new!

  12. Data CollectionWhere this data goes… Vehicle Inventory by mode, model, and fuel type

  13. Making it simpleSimple to use data collection forms and guidelines • If the inventory is well designed, a city should be able to collect data on its own, without consultant help • Data collection forms and guidelines are to be made available online for download (and for commenting)

  14. Making it simpleSimple dashboard reporting to make results clear and transparent Parameter Data Used Uncertainty Level Vehicle Registration Vehicle Inventory LOC 3 Adjusted COPERT Fuel Efficiency COPERT LOC 4 Activity Level Road Length + Odometer LOC 3

  15. Making it simpleAll calculations and data uniformly presented by sector for transparency Activity Level Vehicle Inventory Fuel Efficiency
