  1. The draft Revised Guidebook What has been achieved? Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  2. Outline • Project and TFEIP mandate • Approach • Review • The state-of-play Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  3. Project and TFEIP mandate • “Revision” commissioned by the European Commission • Fixed budget and deadline • Contractual conditions apply • Deliverables: • Draft revised Guidebook to be presented in TFEIP • Draft Emission Factor database, containing numerical data from the GBK • Draft Maintenance Plan (to be delivered after this meeting) • TFEIP to • Discuss draft revised Guidebook as developed under the contract • Accept or not accept the draft as the latest version of the Guidebook to be used for LRTAP reporting under the (2007) Reporting Guidelines. Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  4. EP meeting Existing Guidebook TEAM prepares zero order drafts Zero order drafts Technical workshops Experts to solve gaps and problems TEAM prepares first order drafts Procedure to prepare the draft revised Guidebook from August 2007 from A September2007 from February 2008 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  5. EP meeting Existing Guidebook from August 2007 TEAM prepares zero order drafts from A September2007 Zero order drafts from February 2008 Technical workshops Experts to solve gaps and problems TEAM prepares first order drafts Review of First Order Drafts • Review of the First Order Drafts: • Usability: Does the Guidebook support national emissions reporting to LRTAP and NECD? • All pollutants • All source categories • Technical quality Does the Guidebook provide technically sound and up-to-date guidance? • Up-to-date? • Complete? • Explained and Referenced? Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  6. Review: Number of FOD downloads over time • In total: • General Guidance: 517 • Sectoral Guidance: 1870 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  7. Review: Number of FOD downloads per chapter/volume Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  8. Review: Number of comments received: reviewer You have kept the deadlines very well Some remarks on this! In total 67 reviewers Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  9. Review: Number of comments received: by contents • In total 3059: • General Guidance: 529 • Sectoral Guidance: 2084 • EFs: 446 In total 103 NFRs Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  10. Review: Treatment of comments General Guidance chapters Sectoral Guidance chapters Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  11. State-of-Play: what has been achieved? Guidebook structure • Goals • A “Cook book” • Providing algorithms and parameters • An “Educational Cook book” • Providing background information and discussion • Achievements • Directly linked to the reporting requirements • Consistent structure across sectors • Structure similar to IPCC 2006 GLs • Benefits: • Usability • Decision trees and Tiers to support methodological choice • All tables “complete” as seen from the reporting table • Quality • Identified problems • Identified inconsistencies and solved many of them ! Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  12. State-of-Play: what has been achieved? Problems identified and solved Missing pollutants: • Consistent EFs for all relevant pollutants for all NFRs • Where we have EFs, these are provided • Where the reporting table indicates “Not Applicable” the pollutant is in the “Not Applicable” cell in the table • All other pollutants are in the “Not Estimated” cell in the table • Our assumption is that these are minor sources for these pollutants Oops: for some NFR and pollutant combinations we have emission factors, although the reporting format marks these as “Not Applicable”. Unit errors corrected References corrected and where possible updated Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  13. State-of-Play: what has been achieved? Lessons learned • Complete harmonisation with IPCC is impossible (Air Pollutants are much more complex) • IPCC principles can be used but methods may be different • Difficult to separate out some NFRs (e.g. 1A2 & 2) • Units conventions for EFs need discussion (reluctance to adopt g/GJ for some methods) • Guidebook needs resourced technical maintenance and co-ordination Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  14. State-of-Play: what has been achieved? Problems identified and not solved • Inconsistencies between different references • Particulate EF < sum of relevant HM EFs • NFR structure • Glass is only significant source category in “Other Industry; why not call it “Glass Industry” • Road transport non-tailpipe emissions are in the “Combustion” sector • “Manure Management” could probably be called “Animal Husbandry” to enable including non NH3 emissions (dust) • Pollutant oriented source categories 2E and 2 F (POPs production & consumption) • General Guidance • Key Category Analysis (Aggregation) • Tier 3 Methods • Navigation (New methods and data from a number of sources). • Eurocontrol for Aviation Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  15. General Guidance • Improved following the comments on the FODs. • No important changes in present draft • Check for suitable linkages to Sectoral chapters needed for Spatial mapping and Projections 1.A. Stationary Combustion • Updated quite a bit since the FODs, • Might need additional reviewing 1.A.3 Mobile Combustion • Updated considerably to meet the comments and discussions with the Expert Panel. • Might need an additional review cycle • Some work needed on tier 3 methods due to new data.. 4. Agriculture • “Source category" versus "pollutant” organisation. • The present drafts have tried to solve this issue • Needs some additional review/comments by the relevant experts. 1.B. Fugitives • Improvements of the chapters since FOD. • No important changes in present draft 2. Industrial Processes 3. Product Use 6. Waste State-of-Play: after the review Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin

  16. Main perspectives for the discussion • User’s perspective • Does the draft provide all what is needed to report air pollution inventories compliant with the LRTAP Reporting Guidelines? • Are the methods clear? • Are sufficient EFs available? • Expert’s perspective • Is the guidance of sufficient technical quality? • Is new information included? Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin
