Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) • Established by WMO (World Meteorological Organization) and UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) in 1988 to; • Make periodic assessments of the science, impacts and the socio-economic aspects of climate change and of adaptation and mitigation options to address it; • Assess, and develop as necessary, methodologies such as the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories; • Provide, on request, scientific/technical /socio-economic advice to the Conference of the Parties to the United nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its bodies.

IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, 2000Translated to all UN Languages Complementing the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines, GPG-2000 provides good practice guidance to assist countries in producing inventories that are neither over nor underestimates so far as can be judged, and in which uncertainties are reduced as far as practicable Background Papers: IPCC Expert Meeting on Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National GHG Inventories Published in late 2002

IPCC Good Practice Guidance for Land use, Land-Use Change and Forestry, 2003 Complements the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines. GPG-LULUCF provides supplementary methods and good practice guidance for estimating, measuring, monitoring and reporting on carbon stock changes and greenhouse gas emissions from LULUCF activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, and Articles 6 and 12 of the Kyoto Protocol.

IPCC Emission Factor Database(EFDB)

Why is the EFDB needed? • Desirably, emission factors that reflect national circumstances should be used in inventory compilation. However, development of such emission factors is difficult - it is costly, time consuming, requires much expertise. • By sharing data/information, emission factors that take into account local conditions (national circumstances) can be obtained cost-effectively. • An easily accessible database on emission factors and other relevant parameters will facilitate sharing data/information by inventory compilers, experts, scientists worldwide.

EFDB is expected to serve as... • Library of well documented emission factors and other parameters which • Evolves dynamically through contributions of new data from researchers, scientists, industry... • Provides a wide variety of emission factors and other parameters with background documentation or technical references so that users can select and use appropriate data on their own responsibility. • Communication platform for distribution and commenting on new research and measurement data.

Data contained in EFDB • At present, EFDB contains only the IPCC default data and the data from CORINAIR94. • New data are expected to be provided by the global scientific and inventory society. • New data will be evaluated for acceptance by EFDB Editorial Board according to the following criteria. • EFDB should assist countries in producing inventories that are neither over- nor underestimates so far as can be judged and in which uncertainties are reduced as far as practicable. • To this end, the data to be included should be…

Procedure for Data Proposals • EFDB is open to any relevant data proposals. • You can submit your data proposals on line. 1) Contact the Technical Support Unit (TSU) by e-mail <ipcc-efdb@iges.or.jp>. 2) TSU will register you as a data provider, and give you ID & password and other technical support. 3) Input your data following the guidance given in the EFDB User Manual for Web Application. 4) EFDB Editorial Board will evaluate whether the proposed new data are acceptable. When accepted... 5) The data will be imported into EFDB and disseminated to the world via Internet and CDROM

“Properties” Criteria for Inclusion of New Data • Robust • Within the accepted uncertainty, the value is unlikely to change if there was repetition of the original measurement programme or modelling activity. • Applicable • An emission factor can only be applicable if the source and its mix of technology, operating and environmental conditions and abatement and control technologies under which the emission factor was measured or modeled are clear and allow the user to see how it can be applied. • Documented • Access information to the original technical reference must be provided to evaluate the robustness and applicability as described above.

Possible Benefits to Data Providers • Making your emission factors or related information available to the EFDB will benefit you and your research institute, because it will • Promote your own research results/publications, since references to relevant publications will be contained in the dataset. • Involve you in ongoing IPCC activities. Submission of your own research results to this database may give you opportunities to make contributions to IPCC Methodology Reports (e.g., 2006 IPCC Guidelines) even in the case you are not a designated author of those reports.

How to Access the EFDB • Two different applications are available. • Web application • For all users to carry out on-line search • For data providers to submit new emission factors or other parameters • CDROM application • For all users, in particular for those who have difficulty with Internet connection, to carry out off-line search • The web application is the core of this system. New data will be made available in the Web application first.

2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines - Revision of the 96GLs; to be ready in 2006

2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines • SBSTA17 invited the IPCC to revise the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, taking into consideration the relevant work under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol, and to aim to complete the work by early 2006. • IPCC Panel XXI (Vienna, November 2003) approved the Table of Content and Terms of Reference. • IPCC will base this work on, inter alia: • Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines, • IPCC Report on Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management (GPG 2000), • IPCC Emission Factor Database, • Good Practice Guidance on Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry.” (GPG-LULUCF, 2003), • The experience in the use of GLs/GPGs as well as experience from UNFCCC inventory reviews (e.g.FCCC/SBSTA/2003/INF.10), and • Advance in science and technology.

2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines • The 2006 Guidelines will consist of 5 volumes based on cross-cutting issues and individual sectors. Overview • Cross-cutting Issues, and Reporting Tables • Energy • Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) • Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) • Waste • New gases and sources will be added where they are judged to be significant and there to be sufficient technical information (including a GWP in the TAR) available to justify reliable methods. • Development of new methods for ozone precursors will be addressed under other agreements and conventions.

IPCC Software for the Workbook

What is the IPCC Software? • A tool to help users (inventory compilers) prepare national GHG inventories based on the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines • It contains: • Worksheets from the Workbook (Vol.2) • Formulas are built in. (Tier 1/Default) Facilitate calculation of GHG emissions/removals • Reporting tables from the Reporting Instructions (Vol.1) • Linkages between relevant cells are built in. Facilitate reporting in accordance with the Guidelines.

Users • For those who do not have a national inventory available already and are not experienced in producing such inventories • The software will be quite useful. • Even for those who have their national inventories based on their own methodology • The software will be still a valuable tool for self-verification and/or for formatting the summary reporting tables. • Note: There is no tool for transferring data automatically to this software.

Attention • When running the software, the users should read: • Software Manual (available in English, Spanish, French, Russian) • Workbook of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines • The software should be used with the commercial spreadsheet application Excel, version 5 or a later version.

How to obtain and install • It is recommended to download the software and its manual through the internet from the IPCC-NGGIP website:http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gl/software.htmGuidance on how to install is given on the website. • It is also available in the form of CDROM (for Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories) , or in the form of Floppy Disks.
