  1. THE 2ND NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY ON THE ENERGY SECTOR – A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT SEMINAR ON GHG INVENTORY FOR THE ENERGY SECTOR Marriott Putrajaya 29th. NOVEMBER 2004 By: Radin Diana R. Ahmad

  2. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The study was commission from August to December 2004 Objectives of this study are: To establish a preliminary GHG inventory for the energy sector in Malaysia as basis for calculation of CDM potential and GHG emission baselines; To compare the methods provided in the IPCC Guidelines and to determine the level of detail of activity data required for each method; To identify ways to improve emission factors in key category sources in order to prepare a more reliable GHG inventory; and To identify areas where data are missing and suggest options for improvements

  3. ACTIVITIES (1 of 2) • Activity 1: Consolidate and collect data for developing and maintaining the GHG inventory for the energy sector • Go through the existing data sampling procedures of National Energy Balance (NEB) • Identify the emission factors and other conversion factors required to generate a GHG inventory for the energy sector • Activity 2: Implement and document the GHG inventory for the energy sector • Conduct necessary data collection • Documentation on the GHG inventory for the energy sector

  4. ACTIVITIES (2 of 2) • Activity 3: Identify areas for future improvement of the GHG Inventory • Identify areas where future studies or data collection are necessary to develop better quality GHG inventory. • Recommendations will be made with suggestions for improvements to the quality assurance/quality control and the verification procedures used in the preparation of GHG inventory.

  5. METHODOLOGY FOR THE STUDY • Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines • Developed and approved internationally through an internally process • The Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines reaffirmed in 1997 • The guidelines consist of: • The Reporting Instructions • The Workbook • The Reference Manual • The guideline is supported by Excel-software

  6. STRUCTURE OF THE METHODOLOGY USED • Tier 1 structure is used which relies on widely available fuel data • Reference Approach • Top down approach • Fundamental: overall energy balance • Sectoral Approach • Bottom up approach • Fundamental: energy consumption for sectors • Default Emission Factors or national, sector specific Emission Factors • Base year : 2002

  7. STRUCTURE OF THE METHODOLOGY USED (Contd.) • Reference Approach/Sectoral Approach (CO2) • Step 1: Estimate apparent/sectoral fuel consumption in original unit • Step 2: Convert to a common energy unit • Step 3: Multiply by emission factors to compute the carbon content • Step 4: Compute carbon stored • Step 5: Correct for carbon un-oxidised • Step 6: Convert carbon oxidised to CO2 - emissions

  8. STRUCTURE OF THE METHODOLOGY USED (Contd.) • Sectoral approach (Tier 1: CH4, N2O, NOx, CO, NMVOC and SO2) • Step 1: Estimate annual fuel consumption per sector in energy units • Step 2: Estimate emission factors for each gas • Step 3: Estimate the emission for each gas • Estimate EF for SO2 from S-content of fuel

  9. WORKSHEET (REFERENCE APPROACH)

  10. WORKSHEET (SECTORAL APPROACH)

  11. RESULTS

  12. ISSUESENCOUNTERED • Data Collection Activities • Information on Combustion Effectivity i.e. fraction of carbon oxidised • e.g. Coal – ash content available but carbon content not available • Fuel Consumption for domestic/international aviation • Unavailability of relevant data • Could not identify relevant personnel to acquire data

  13. ISSUES ENCOUNTERED (Contd.) • Fuel Consumption for domestic/international navigation • Unavailability of relevant data • Could not identify relevant personnel to acquire data • Fuel Consumption for road transport, railways, pipeline transport • Unavailability of relevant data • Could not identify relevant personnel to acquire data • Sulphur content of fuel/specific energy content of fuel • Value usually based on maximum and not precise • Emission values of SOx normally kept confidential

  14. ISSUES ENCOUNTERED (Contd.) • Malaysian Emission Factors • Vehicles (Trucks, Passenger cars, Motorcycle) • Power Plants (Different technologies) • Manufacturing Industries • Others e.g. Residential, Commercial

  15. CONCLUSION • The study has identified the strengths and weaknesses of the country’s database pertaining to the inventory • The results from the study will form the basis for the preparation of the 2nd GHG Inventory in the 2nd National Communication
