Emission gridmaps

Workshop organised by JRC EDGAR team on preparation of gridded

inventories under LRTAP

Materials from the workshop available for interested people

Possible use of EDGAR proxies for first gridding or as comparison

Follow-up possibilities, depending on the availability of funds

Examples of good practice

Possible further training

Improve the Guidebook chapter on gridding and/or providing best

practice

Wood combustion

New survey for wood combustion in Italy shows much higher wood

consumption figures

Small combustion now accounts for 70% of national PM2.5

Initial survey done for 1000 families, will be updated every 3 years,

taking into account regional and technological differences

Time series recalculation provides significantly higher PM emissions

all years in the past

Penetration of innovative technologies and pellet stoves are <10%

Emissions from solvents

ESIG made updated solvents inventory for 2013

Inventory based on

Solvent sales in EU (95% of solvent production included)

Estimate of solvent released to air per end-use sector

Estimate of imports/exports, assuming no net import/export in EU as

a whole

Results show overall 30-40% lower emissions than in current national

inventories, difference varies between countries

Discrepancies up till now not well understood – work on that to be

continued

Mercury spatial disaggregation – use of socio-economic data

Coal combustion important for Poland, with high emissions of mercury

How to spatially distribute? Two options:

Using age of buildings to disaggregate, assuming old buildings

having higher heat loss

Using LHDI (wealth, education, health) is an alternative to that

Results give quite different picture of emission distribution

Guidebook updates

Presentations from the consultant on their approach

Task 1: Small-scale combustion

Task 2.1: Condensables vs. filterables

Task 4: SOX/SO2 and BC/EC/OC consistency

Current status: collecting information from the TFEIP community

Some discussion in the panel, and some information was already

made available to the consultant

More to follow in the next few weeks, hopefully

The TFEIP community is encouraged to provide materials that they

have available to the consultant

Expert Panel will try to cooperate with the consultant to the extent

possible

Work plan for next year

Work with the consultant in the updating of the Guidebook, for as far

as possible

Continue the dialogue with ESIG on improvements of solvent

inventories

See what can be done with regard to gridding

cross-cutting, not only a combustion & industry thing!

Deal with ad-hoc queries that come up during the year

Assist in preparation and validate the final Guidebook chapters for the

2016 “update year” so it can be adopted
