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

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

3 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin 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. Project budget (including meetings, travel etc.) ± 75 chapters6 to 7 working days per chapter, including review results ± 1750 pages2 to 3 working hours per page, including review results

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

5 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin Review of First Order Drafts Technical workshops TEAM prepares first order drafts Experts to solve gaps and problems EP meeting TEAM prepares zero order drafts Zero order drafts Existing Guidebook from August 2007 from A September 2007 from February 2008 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?

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

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

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

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

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

11 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin 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 inconsistenciesand solved many of them !

12 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin 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

13 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin 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

14 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin 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 2 E 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

15 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin State-of-Play: after the review 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 General Guidance Updated quite a bit since the FODs, Might need additional reviewing 1.A. Stationary 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.. 1.A.3 Mobile Combustion 6. Waste 3. Product Use 2. Industrial Processes Improvements of the chapters since FOD. No important changes in present draft 1.B. Fugitives “Source category" versus "pollutant” organisation. The present drafts have tried to solve this issue Needs some additional review/comments by the relevant experts. 4. Agriculture

16 Tinus Pulles, Jeroen Kuenen & Justin Goodwin Main perspectives for the discussion 1.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? 2.Expert’s perspective Is the guidance of sufficient technical quality? Is new information included?
