Background

The revised 96 GLs were based on data

and knowledge from the beginning of the

1990s

Successful but now 10 years oldTwo Good Practice Guideline reports to

complement the 96GLs (2000 & 2003)

We now have

Experience in use of GLs and GPG

New scientific and technical developments


4/29

Therefore:

There is a need for a comprehensive update

and revision

This could contribute to the future

negotiations


5/29

Planning for Revision

TFB 8/TFB9/TFB10 first steps towards the revision

IPCC Bureau XXVIIproposal for IPCC XX

SBSTA 17 invitation to IPCC to revise the 96GLs by 2006

IPCC XXapproved the plan for the revision

Scoping meeting and TFB 11 (both in Geneva in September 2003)

TOR, TOC and Work Plan were approvedby IPCC XXI (November 2003)


6/29

Objectives

Revise existing guidelines based on:

Existing GL and GPG reports

IPCC Emission Factor Database

Experience and feedback in using

guidelines as well as experience from

UNFCCC inventory reviews

(e.g.FCCC/SBSTA/2003/INF.10)Improvements in scientific and technical

knowledge since mid 1990s


7/29

General Approach

96GLs and GPGs to be initially merged into onereport

Recent advances in science as well as experiencein use of the guidelines and results of the UNFCCC

inventory reviews will be taken into account (suchas; FCCC/SBSTA/2003/INF.10)

A key principle will be to approach the revisionwith flexibility but to maintain the existingstructure as much as possible to facilitate the

job of inventory preparers (evolution notrevolution)


8/29

Scopeof Gases

Current coverage: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6(direct GHGs)

NOx, CO and NMVOCs and SO2(indirect GHG; precursors)

The 2006 Guidelines will cover these.

What About new gases?


9/29

Vol. 1, IPCC 3rdAssessment Report (TAR) new gases (i.e. not in SAR, e.g. halo-ethers)

improved scientific understanding of atmospheric chemistry,

including lifetimes and GWPs of GHGs.

Demands by Parties to the UNFCCC (e.g.FCCC/SBSTA/2003/MISC.3)

Development of Guidelines by other organizations

(e.g. EMEP/CORINAIR)

Developments since 1997/2000


10/29

new halogenated direct GHGs

e.g. halo-ethers, NF3, SF5CF3,

other indirect GHGs

e.g. H2

other precursors and substancese.g. NH3, aerosols

Candidate new gases for inclusion


11/29

Criteria for inclusion of a new gas

Scoping Meeting (Geneva, September 2003)

agreed criteria for the inclusion of new gases:

availability of a global warming potential

in the TAR

there are identifiedanthropogenic sources there is a basisfor methodological development

relative importanceto the total emissions

A need for development for New methods forozone precursors is not anticipatedas these are

addressed under other agreements and

conventions.

2006GLs - Aerosols

Aerosols (black carbon, organic carbon and mineral

dust)

Not included in current outline

Expert meeting in 2004 to assess possible scope

(inclusion or non-inclusion)

IPCC XXII to decide on possible inclusion


14/29


15/29

IPCC Emission Factor Database

(EFDB)(more by Kiyoto)

Launched at COP8main objective to help

inventory compilers, useful also for reviewers

and other

Main criteria robustness, applicability and

traceability (documentation)

Includes IPCC Default factors from 96GLs and

GPG2000; defaults from GPG-LULUCF will beincluded 2004

Fugitive emissions

The coverage of CO2storage in will be coordinated withprogress on IPCC SR on CO2capture and storage -theactivities will be integrated as appropriate into the methods

presented for source categories where it may occur.Emissions from international aviation and maritimetransportation will take into consideration the relevant workof the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) andthe International Maritime Organization (IMO).
