Experiences of and plans for the establishing the UK NIS
Implementation UK working on NIS implementation since 2003
Resources Significant resources needed, delivered and still being delivered
Degree of formalisation Are MoUs strict enough to ensure data delivery? Legal instruments might be required
Effects of the EU ETS on data delivery Data reporting requirements of ETS has impacted on GHG key data
providers Some Key Data Providers more sceptical of GHG data use Need to closely couple data delivery of ETS and NIS

Overview of NIS compliance
Requirement Existing arrangements Development needed
Single National EntityDesignate Single National Entity with overall responsibility for the inventory. Make available the postal and electronic addresses of that national entity.
UK Defra (GA) currently has overall responsibility. Netcen is the inventory agency.
Formal designation required for UK Defra – in progress.
NIS Organisational Structure, Responsibilities, Legal & Procedural BasisEstablish & maintain the institutional, legal and procedural arrangements for NIS functions. Include the definition of specific responsibilities between government agencies and other entities (e.g. on choice of methods, activity data, emission factors, QA/QC).
UK Defra (GA) manages contracts with Netcen, CEH, IGER and others. Data providers include DTI, EA, DfT, UKOOA, UKPIA, Defra (other), FC, ODPM and Industry sectors.
Formal agreements with key data providers to guarantee quality, timeliness and format of data required by Netcen. Well advanced - UK considering Memoranda of Understanding and also legal basis.
Each Key Data Provider needs to review its legal and resourcing issues regarding delivery of data to Defra and inform Defra of required development of data acquisition & reporting systems, resources and legal framework to fulfil NIS requirement.
Establish processes for official consideration and approval prior to submission
Netcen clears NIR and CRF via Defra before submission to UNFCCC.
Further early review of provisional inventory with Key Data Providers may be needed. Comments on time series consistency and magnitude of emissions.

Overview of NIS compliance
Requirement Existing arrangements Development needed
Resources of Inventory Agency & Key Data ProvidersThe NIS should ensure sufficient capacity for rigorous & timely performance of Inventory Agency & KDP functions including:Data collection, data processing, data reporting, QA/QC, technical competence of staff, audit & review, continuous review
Clearly defined annual cycles of data provision in place (e.g. energy statistics) in the UK. Single National Entity sufficiently resourced to carry their roles. Inventory Agency under contract to Defra
Short internal reviews to confirm resourcing position and strengthen systems where appropriate.
Planning & Management of GHGI ProcessEstablish a NIS that ensures that inventory activities are planned, prepared and managed to ensure compliant performance of functions such as: data collection, method & emission factor selection, uncertainty assessment, QA/QC, inventory review.
Strong and well defined planning and management process in place
Sufficient capacity for timely performance of functions (including data collection and technical competence of staff)
Review of current NIS system prior to implementation of the UK NIS.
Peer & Expert Review Process
Two reviews to date – CO2 from fuel combustion and agricultural sector
Currently implementing the recommendations of these reviews – completed prior to fixing our Assigned Amount.
GHG Estimation MethodsFollow IPCC 1996 guidelines and 2000 Good Practice Guidance
Preparation of inventory estimates in accordance with IPCC guidelines and good practice guidance
Review prior to 2006 NIR, and selective implementation of recommendations of the Peer Reviews.
G reenH ouseG asi nventory
Overview of NIS compliance
Requirement Existing arrangements Development needed
QA System Requirement - Key Data Provider Data Schedules to define format, quality, timeliness, security Establish clearly defined & detailed schedules to describe the requirements of data provision by KDPs, to include:-format, timeliness of delivery, QA/QC requirements, security of data provision
Work to generate Memoranda of Understanding well advanced. MoUs developed for all Key Data Providers.
Formalise MoUs – may choose legal instrument to secure data provision instead.
QA System Requirement - Documentation & ArchivingMaintain a system of clear documentation & archiving to ensure transparency of data flows from raw data through inventory compilation to reporting.Inventory management: Archive all relevant inventory information (AD, EFs, documentation outlining assumptions, methods etc) in a single location. Include internal documents on QA/QC procedures, external and internal reviews, annual key sources, key source identification and planned inventory improvements. Clear data archiving in single location will facilitate Art. 8 reviews of inventory data.
Advanced, tested and externally inspected system in place. Two key databases – inventory database, and contacts database.
Inventory ‘locked’ and all relevant information archived each year after the inventory is completed.
Review system and check for any compliance gaps.
G reenH ouseG asi nventory
Overview of NIS compliance
Requirement Existing arrangements Development needed
QA System Requirement: IPCC Guidance, Tier 1 & Tier 2 QC ProceduresImplement general inventory QC procedures (Tier 1) in accordance with QA/QC plan and IPCC guidance, and conduct source category specific QC procedures (Tier 2) to key source categories or where significant revisions have been made.
Most procedures already in place. Review and checks for any compliance gaps.
NIS reporting requirements (280/2004/EC, Art.3.1, and the Implementing Provisions for this – see also the timescale for MS reporting obligations in Annex VI of the Implementing Provisions, and the description of reporting requirements of supplementary information under Art. 7 para 2 in the Marrakech Accords.)
Reporting of QA/QC activities and status of NIS are included within the NIR.
New Annex to summarise the UK NIS – current status and development work.
