  1. 2006 IPCC Guidelines: The New Sector “Industrial Processes & Product Use (IPPU)” Bonn, 18 May 2006 Maritim Hotel Side-Event at SB24 on “2006 Guidelines” Dr. Jochen Harnisch, Ecofys GmbH Coordinating Lead Author

  2. Outline • Structure and new gases • Highlights from the chapters • Questions • Conclusions

  3. IPPU Volume Structure • Chapter 1 Introduction • Chapter 2 Mineral Industry Emissions • Chapter 3 Chemical Industry Emissions • Chapter 4 Metal Industry Emissions • Chapter 5 Non-Energy Products from Fuels & Solvent Use • Chapter 6 Electronics Industry Emissions • Chapter 7 Emissions of Fluorinated Substitutes for ODS • Chapter 8 Other Product Manufacture and Use • Annex 1 Worksheets • Annex 2 Potential Emissions • Annex 3 Improvements since 1996 • Annex 4 Glossary for IPPU Sector

  4. List of Gases Covered by IPPU • Carbon Dioxide • Methane • Nitrous Oxide • Sulphur Hexafluoride • Hydrofluorocarbons (TAR, non-TAR) • Perfluorocarbons (TAR, non-TAR) • Nitrogen Trifluoride (TAR) • Trifluoromethyl Sulfur Pentafluoride (TAR) • Halogenated Ethers (TAR, non-TAR) • Other Halocarbons (TAR, non-TAR)

  5. Chapter 2: Mineral Industry • Consistent approach based on carbonate content of inputs for all source • Guidance to report emissions from carbonates where they occur • Inclusion of new guidance for other carbonates • Guidance on clays in ceramics industry

  6. Chapter 3: Chemical Industry • New sources: - N2O emissions from production of caprolactam, glyoxal, and glyoxylic acid - CO2 emission from production of titanium dioxide - Separation of CO2 from urea use and production - CO2 from various petrochemical processes - Expanded method for HFC-23 and consideration of other fluorinated by-products

  7. Chapter 4: Metal Industry • Added guidance on emissions from zinc and lead production • Greatly improved guidance on production of ferroalloys • Detailed treatment of different production routes for iron and steel including DRI and metallurgical coke (Emissions from metallurgical coke should be reported under Energy Sector.)

  8. Chapter 5: Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use • Inclusion previously separate chapter on solvent use • Consideration of use of fuels as lubricants, paraffin waxes, bitumen/asphalt and solvents • Focusses on direct CO2 emissions

  9. Chapter 6: Electronics Industry • Added guidance on production of PV cells, LCD and heat transfer fluids • Inclusion of new gases applied in the industry • Update of emission factors – including treatment of abatement • Inclusion of a new tier 1 method providing emission factors & activity data

  10. Chapter 7: Fluorinated Substitutes for ODS • Tier 1 approach on “actual emissions” (“potential emissions” approach is no longer considered appropriate [see Annex 2])” • Reference to regional/global data bases for activity data • Preparation of use of EFDB as depository also for activity data

  11. Chapter 8: Other Product Manufacture and Use SF6 from electrical equipment: - Replacement of three parallel Tier 3 mass balance methods by one flexible method • New tier 1 emission factors for regions and technologies Addition of other sources: e.g. nuclear fuel cycle and military applications

  12. Questions and Answers • Imposing undue effort on countries in requesting reporting of new sources and new gases? • 2006 IPCC Guidelines provide methods for estimation of GHG emissions for as wide a range of gases and sources based on up-to-date knowledge available. COP to decide on reporting. • New boundary problems between Energy and IPPU? • Potentially yes, but discretion for countries remains and no other way to integrate bottom-up data e.g. from emission trading schemes & corporate reporting • Too many industry experts with vested interests involved e.g. in CDM projects or emissions trading?  IPCC procedures including review & strong co-chairs/SG/CLAs provided a counter-balance

  13. Conclusions • Dynamic sector with rapid technological change • Strong participation from industry: good access to sector knowledge but safeguards against lobbying required • Policies and voluntary actions already show an impact on emissions from several sources • Rapid expansion of knowledge about sources and gases since 1996/2000, including emission trading schemes and voluntary reporting • Wealth of information on new sources of immeadiate benefit to inventory compilers • Greatly improved user-friendliness – many simplifictations including new tier 1 methods
