  1. PRESENTATION BY SPAIN TO THE EXECUTIVE BODY FOR THE CLRTAP:COMPLIANCE WITH THE VOC PROTOCOLS Geneva, December2010

  2. CONTENTS: • BACKGROUND • FULFILMENT BY SPAIN OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE PROTOCOLS • PROGRESS IN THE REVISION OF THE SPANISH NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE NATIONAL EMISSION TOTALS OF SPAIN • REVIEWED EMISSION DATA AND EMISSION PROJECTIONS FOR THE TERRITORY COVERED BY THE PROTOCOL • OBSTACLES PROHIBITING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRONGER MEASURES AND POTENTIAL TO FURTHER REDUCE EMISSIONS

  3. BACKGROUND • Decision 2009/8 • Compliance by Spain with its obligations under the 1991 Protocol • concerning the Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds or • Their Transboundary Fluxes (ref. 6/02) • Reiterates its requests to Spain to complement the progress report as withthe following information: • Progress in the revision of the Spanish national emission inventory and its impact on the national emission totals of Spain; • (b) Reviewed emission data and emission projections for the territory covered by the Protocol; • (c) Identification of activities or sectors where there is still a techno-economical potential to further reduce emissions, and the identification of obstacles prohibiting the implementation of stronger measures in those activities or sectors, in order to achieve compliance.

  4. BACKGROUND • Calls on Spain to make a presentation to the next annual session of the Executive Body specifically concerning the additional information requested, and in particular: • present its progress on the revision of the Spanish national emission inventory • its work on identifying activities or sectors where there is still potential to further reduce emissions;

  5. 2. FULFILMENT BY SPAIN OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE PROTOCOLS

  6. NMVOC emissions in absolute values (kt) for the period 1980-2008 according to the last emission inventory are shown in the figure below.National emissions in 2008 are 78’7% of emissions in year 1990. PROGRESS IN THE REVISION OF THE SPANISH NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY (NEI) AND ITS IMPACT ON THE NATIONAL EMISSION TOTALS OF SPAIN:

  7. NMVOC emissions (1990-2009 non official data) NMVOC emissions (absolute values) - National Inventory, provisional data (2009 vs. 2008 variation: -10,02%)

  8. 3. PROGRESS IN THE REVISION OF THE SPANISH NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE NATIONAL EMISSION TOTALS OF SPAIN

  9. IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EMISSION INVENTORY:The methodological improvements that have been carried out in the National Emission Inventory (NEI) in the last year have focused on the following sectors:Road transport (SNAP 07): more accurate base data has been introduced into the model. Emissions have been estimated using the COPERT IV Program in NEI 2010 (while NEI 2009 used Copert III).The emission factor in stationary combustion has been reviewed for estimating emissions from natural gas engines in the following activities:SNAP 02.01.05. Natural gas combustion in stationary engines in Commercial sector (emission factor review)SNAP 03.01.05. Natural gas combustion in industrial stationary engines (emission factor review). • l

  10. IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EMISSION INVENTORY:The methodological review of the emission factor for NMVOC in natural gas stationary engines has lead to the use of an emission factor with a lower value, consequently emissions in the National Emission Inventory (NEI) 2010 from these engines are lower than the emissions in the NEI 2009. This fact, associated with the increase for the past years in the natural gas consumption of these engines, has had as a consequence an increasing gap between the higher NEI 2009 time series emissions compared with the lower NEI 2010 time series emissions.Revision of the road transport sector. This review includes both a methodological change (migration from Copert III to Copert IV) and an activity rate change. Although the methodological and the activity rate changes partially offset in some cases their effects, the global outcome is a significant decrease in NMVOC (Non Methanic VOC) emissions through the whole time series 1990-2007. This decrease is specially relevant for evaporative NMVOC emissions.(SNAP 07.06). • l

  11. IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EMISSION INVENTORY:Petrol storage, handling and distribution (NMVOC): in year 2010 a specific study on this sector has been undertaken. This study has provided relevant improvements in NMVOC emissions accounts throughout the whole process (the refinery dispatch station, border terminal, marketing terminal depot, service station and automobiles). These improvements will be incorporated into NEI 2011(1990-2009). • l

  12. Use of solvents: Spain is currently still using constant rate emission factor from the nineties in the relevant set of categories of solvent use. A specific study in these activities (focused on updating these constant factors for a number of activities) is currently in progress.SNAP categories under revision: SNAP 6.01: Paint applicationSNAP 6.04: other use of solvents and related activities • ACTIVITIES CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION IN NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY: USE OF SOLVENTS

  13. ACTIVITIES CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION IN NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORYUse of solvents:In 2008, this group represents 57% of national total anthropogenic emissions of NMVOCs

  14. ACTIVITIES CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION IN NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORYUse of solvents:In 2008, this group represents 57% of national total anthropogenic emissions of NMVOCs NMVOCs emissions (%) by SNAP group – Contribution to national total anthropogenic emissions (National Inventory - year 2008)

  15. ACTIVITIES CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION IN NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORYUse of solvents:In 2008, the activities “paint application” and “other use of solvents and related activities“ represented, together, 73% of national total anthropogenic emissions of NMVOCs from SNAP group 06 NMVOCs emissions (%) by subgroup within SNAP 06 (Contribution to total anthropogenic emissions in SNAP 06) - National Inventory, year 2008.

  17. REVIEWED EMISSION DATA AND EMISSION PROJECTIONS FOR THE TERRITORY COVERED BY THE PROTOCOL

  18. REVIEWED EMISSION DATA IN THE NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY (NEI) NMVOC emissions in absolute values (kt) for the period 1988-2008 according to the last emission inventory are shown in figure below. National emissions in 2008 are 14,0 % below emissions in year 1988. NMVOC emissions 1988-2008

  19. COMPARISON OF DATA IN NEI 2009 (1990-2007) VERSUS DATA IN NEI 2010 (1990-2008) It should be noted that the decrease in NEI 2010 emissions when compared to NEI 2009 is explained by the methodological improvements and also by the stagnation or decrease in the demand and use of resources in the relevant activities, such us energy, transport and industry. Despite these previous facts, in aggregate terms national GDP increased 0,9% in 2008 (base year 2000).

  20. REVIEW OF THE DATA IN THE NATIONAL EMISSION PROJECTIONS

  21. REVIEW OF THE DATA IN THE NATIONAL EMISSION PROJECTIONS • it should be noted that: • the “with measures scenario” takes into account the current economical forecast for 2009-2011 released by the Ministry of Economy. It also considers activity rates projections made by other ministries and main professional associations, including the effect of the financial crisis.

  22. OBSTACLES PROHIBITING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRONGER MEASURES AND POTENTIAL TO FURTHER REDUCE EMISSIONS

  23. OBSTACLES PROHIBITING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRONGER MEASURES AND POTENTIAL TO FURTHER REDUCE EMISSIONS The issue of NMVOC emissions is difficult to tackle because these emissions are not concentrated on a few activities. They are generated in a wide range of activities covering several sectors.In many of these sectors, the implementation of technical measures is not possible because they relate to products included in the EU common market regime. In these cases, demand control is clearly necessary and it’s been partially addressed through several instruments considered in 3.3.

  24. THE MEASURES WITH RELEVANT IMPACT ON VOC EMISSIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THIS PROJECTIONS SUBMISSION ARE THE FOLLOWING (“WITH MEASURES SCENARIO”):Directive 2002/88/EC relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery.Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control Implementation of the IPPC Directive: BREFs on different sectors, such as: oil refineries, iron and steel production, paper and pulp industries, etc. Directive 94/63/EC on the control of VOC emissions resulting fron the storage of petrol and its distribution from terminals to service stationsDirective 2004/42/EC on the limitation of emissions of VOC due to the use of organic solvents in certain paints and varnishes and vehicle refinishing products and amending Directive 1999/13/EC on the limitation of emissions of VOC due to the use of organic solvents in certain activities and installations.

  27. THE IDENTIFICATION OF OBSTACLES PROHIBITING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRONGER MEASURES IN THOSE ACTIVITIES OR SECTORS, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE AND IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES OR SECTORS WHERE THERE IS STILL A TECHNO-ECONOMICAL POTENTIAL TO FURTHER REDUCE EMISSIONSRegarding commitments for year 2010, which are not under the scope of this report but are conclusive for future planning, as well as the above mentioned reasons for not complying with our commitments under the NMVOC Protocol, we would like to stress that most of the drivers used in 1999 for assessing Spanish emissions in 2010 were underestimated.
