  1. Transport Expert Panel Summary ReportBern, 2012-05-15

  2. Agenda

  3. Work-programme of 2011-2012

  4. BC/PM on Transport • BC Update of Transport chapters • Road transport: Ok! • Aviation: Literature data • Maritime: Literature data • Railways/off-road: Road transport proxies • Consistency of PM/BC in transport chapters • Particulate size: TSP>=PM10>=PM2.5 (all is fine!) • ΣHM well below PM emission factors (all is fine!) • ΣPOP’s well below VOC (all is fine!)

  5. Heavy Metals • Large differences (several orders of magnitude) in HM IEFs between countries • TNO work on fuel analysis around Europe (175 samples, 9 countries!) showed only trace levels of HMs on market fuels • No correlation between species • No differences (stat. sig.) between countries • Lube-oil key source of exhaust HM • Danish data on heavy metal emissions generally agreed, already included in COPERT 4 v9.0 (Oct 2011). • Cross-checked against exhaust concentrations, seem rational

  6. Aviation Chapter • Extensive study currently under way by EUROCONTROL / EEA • New methodology between Tier 3A and Tier 3B possibly including: • New LTO values based on ICAO Taxi Times for a large number of aircrafts • New Taxi Times for world airports • New Cruise fuel burn and emission data • New Chapter hopefully ready for review in Winter 2012

  7. CO2 Related Issues • A/C Use, Lube Oil and Urea CO2 introduced in COPERT • Including A/C use should not affect total CO2 reported • To be used for balancing calc and stat FC • Lube-Oil and Urea CO2 on top of FC derived one

  8. TRACCS – Data Collection • DG Clima Project to update databases of stocks, activity and cost items of all transport modes • National experts will be approached to submit national data • Data will be then used for modelling(GAINS, TREMOVE, COPERT, …), policy purposes (emission limits, incentives, …)

  9. COPERT 5: Is it time? • Scoping document is being prepared and will be circulated for comments/ideas • Methodology: Tier 2, Tier 3+, Modes, Temporal/Spatial Resolution, Fuel balancing • Software: Flexibility, transparency, user guidance, QA/QC • Period: Winter 2013 (?)

  10. Uncertainties of mobile sources emission estimates for Belarus • Different Tier methods result to large differences • Technology classification appears as one of the largest sources of uncertainty (in countries not following Euro steps) • - CO and NMVOC estimates are overall of greatest uncertainty; NOx estimates ore of lowest uncertainty;

  11. Work-programme for the coming year(2012-2013)

  12. Announcements • ERMES Meeting:Late September 2012, stay tuned on Expert Panel’s web-page for date, registration, or sign-up to the ERMES mailing-list by sending an email to panagiota.dilara@jrc.ec.europa.eu • Advanced users COPERT workshop:Oct/Nov 2012 @ EEA, official announcement to follow • Transport & Air Pollution conference:26-27 November, Thessaloniki, http://TAPconference.org
