Repository of BC informationInitial development stage Z. Klimont (IIASA), T. Bond (UOI), E. Baum (CATF) TFEIP meetingStockholm, May 2-3, 2011
Repository of BC informationWhat, Who, When • Project goal • Design and compile a database of BC relevant (globally) information and develop a publicly accessible web interface to: • View the information, • Provide examples how to use it to develop own inventories, • Address projections with mitigation measures and their costs • Project partners • IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria • University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne, USA • Clean Air Task Force (CATF), Boston, USA • Timeline • 2011-2012; discussing how to secure longer-term maintenance/funding
Repository of BC informationKey elements (1st year) • For key BC sources* compile a set of characteristics, including regional differences, including: • Key technical features influencing emissions, • Referenced emission rates, including co-emitted species (OC, total PM, CO, CH4, NMVOC, SO2, NOx, CO2), • Uncertainty assessment for the central EF values, • Role of transient operating conditions and temporal variability, • Relevance of superemitters; potential for malfunction and impacts • Regional variability in technology • For mitigation measures a set of additional parameters, including impact on co-emitted species, technical and cultural constraints in application, costs, assessment of the quality of the information * on-road and off-road diesel, residential combustion, open ag. fires
Repository of BC informationKey elements (2nd year and beyond) • Extend the parameterization of the database with climate metrics that could be used to rank sources and measures according to their climate efficiency • Present the tool at meetings…publicize and receive feedback • Provided the tool is useful and used….identify partner for future collaboration to plan for further development and maintenance
