  1. Austrian Air Emission InventoryUse of Energy Statistics Stephan Poupa Oslo City Group 4. 2. – 6. 2. 2008

  2. Overview • Informal cooperation between Umweltbundesamt and STATISTIK AUSTRIA since 2000 • Data usability and quality has been improved • Established working process • Joint study „Energy Data Harmonisation for CO2 Emissions Calculations” in 2002 (EUROSTAT)

  3. Austrian Air Emission Inventory (1) • Umweltbundesamt designated as single national entity responsible for inventory preparation (Environmental Control Act). • International reporting obligations UNFCCC + EU (Kyoto, MM): Direct and indirect greenhouse gases EU(NEC): SO2, NOX, NMVOC and NH3 UNECE(CLRTAP): NEC-pollutants, Heavy metals and POPs • National reporting 9 federal states: GHG and NEC-pollutants • Reporting format Harmonized formats (CRF, NFR) and methodologies (IPCC, CORINAIR) Reporting of „activity data“ (e.g fuel consumption) • Quality management system according to ISO 17020 (accreditation 2005)

  4. Austrian Air Emission Inventory (2) Share of Fuel Combustion in total Austrian emissions Fuel combustion is the anthropogenic key source of allmost all pollutants.

  5. Austrian Air Emission Inventory (3) • Quality Consistency Transparency Completeness Comparability • STATISTIK AUSTRIA is an important data provider • Data must be delivered on time to meet the reporting deadlines

  6. Austrian Air Emission Inventory (4) Common Reporting Format (CRF) to UNFCCC

  7. Cooperation with STATISTIK AUSTRIA (1) • STATISTIK AUSTRIA yearly submits to Umweltundesamt National Energy Balance + 9 Regional energy balances IEA-JQ Time series (JQ-compatible) Additional information (transformation input by sector) • Umweltundesamt yearly submits to STATISTIK AUSTRIA EU-ETS data (fuel consumption, NCV) (200 plants ≈ 30 Mio t CO2 ) • Standardized exchange data formats (Spreadsheets) • Standardized fuel definitions • Umweltbundesamt validates EB data with other information Large plant data. Production statistics of energy intensive industry. Comparison of indicators with international data. Waste statistics. Other studies. -> Feedback

  8. Cooperation with STATISTIK AUSTRIA (2) • Umweltbundesamt is invited to participate in planning and analysis of existing and new surveys. • June 2007 QMS-Audit of „data provider“ STATISTIK AUSTRIA. • Other energy data used by Umweltbundesamt Household census Useful energy survey

  9. There are still issues to improve • Road Transport/Offroad: Sectoral fuel consumption of GLOBEMI transport model is different to EB. • Aviation: National vs. international. Different definition of EB and IPCC. • International Navigation: not covered by JQ. • Energy industry: Usage of natural gas (oil/gas extraction, storage compressors, losses, non energy use for valves). • Non energy use: products ? Double counting with process emissions -> Energy balance is not a carbon/material balance. • Consumption of biomass heatings: high uncertainty. Keysource for non-GHG. • Definition of district heating.
