Update on recent emissions in China: NOx growth
Update on current Asian emissions: INTEX 2006 inventory
Update on future emissions for 2050
Improvements to current Hg emissions for China
Forecasting future global Hg emissions for 2050
3
We have been developing annual NOx emission inventories for China, 1996-2004, to compare with satellite observations (Zhang et al., JGR, in press, 2007JD008684).
4
We cannot replicate the exceptionally high growth rates reported by Richter et al. [Nature, 2005] (95%, 1996-2004), but we still get a 61% increase.
5
We have been investigating the seasonal trends in emissions and satellite observations in China.

The new INTEX inventory includes SO2, NOx, CO, PM10, PM2.5, BC, OC, NMVOC (several speciation mechanisms). No change to NH3 and CH4.

Future projections for 2050 are based on IPCC scenarios
12
We follow the IMAGE (RIVM) regional nomenclature
13
We have re-estimated future BC and OC emissions, including more source types and better matching to IMAGE sources. Anthropogenic BC emissions have increased, mainly in A1B.

Global mercury emissions, year 2000, 0.5° resolution (Wilson et al., Atmos. Environ., 2006)
15
Hg emission estimates for China and uncertainty
In general, the uncertainty level has diminished over time, But, this is primarily due to decreased emissions from those Hg sources that have the largest uncertainty in both activity levels and emission factors, such as artisanal gold smelting, mercury mining, and battery/fluorescent lamp production.

1) Nationwide, coal-based electricity is projected to increase at an annual rate of 7.5% in 2003-2010, and 3.8% in 2010-2020.
2) As a result, coal use reaches 1.29 billion tons in 2010 and 1.77 billion tons in 2020.

Expected penetration of FGD in China
2010: 58% nationwide
We assume the Hg removal efficiency of future plants to be: 74% (ESP+FGD)
2020: 67% nationwide

Reduction by planned FGD
Reductions by S1 and S2
1) By 2010, penetration of FGD should keep Hg emissions close to the 2003 level. 2) By 2020, only faster penetration of new control technology combinations
(Activated Carbon Injection or SCR) can offset the increasing Hg emissions.

We will follow our general approach for estimating future emissions of BC/OC to estimate future global mercury emissions

Just like with BC and OC, we will forecast future Hg emissions (never been done before), combining the BC/OC and China Hg forecasting experience.

Summary
Emissions growth has been high in Asia since 2000 and we can provide updated emission estimates for 2006 via the INTEX dataset.
We are working to expand our abilities to improve VOC speciation (which will change overall reactivity) and rapidly generate alternative schemes.
Only changes to future emissions right now are slightly increased BC and OC emissions from anthropogenic sources (no big change to biomass emissions).
We have emissions trend data for Hg emissions from China in recent years (growing fast like NOx).
We have forecast future Hg emissions from China. We have present-day global Hg emissions, updated for China. Also we
are checking natural emissions, re-emission, and compatibility with observations for China.
In this present project, we will combine experiences to estimate future global Hg emissions.
