  1. STREAMLINING CLIMATE CHANGE AND AIR POLLUTION REPORTING REQUIREMENTSReport to TFEIP May 2008

  2. Report to TFEIP May 2008 STREAMLINING CLIMATE CHANGE AND AIR POLLUTION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

  3. Background • Project Basics • Project Objectives • Where are we? • Spaghetti… • Where we want to be? • Utopia • How can we get there? • Workshop • Problems and Solutions • Next Steps

  4. Project Streamlining AP and CC • Commission funded • 4 partners (AEAT Lead) • 12 month project • Exploration of possibilities to streamline reporting • Options • Scenarios • Timeline 10 – 15 years.. • Tangible proposals for changes to instruments • MM, NECD, E-PRTR… etc

  5. Project Objectives: • Present the Commission with Options that: • Make reporting more efficient and simpler; • Maintain and improve essential emissions inventory data flows and quality; • Can be fitted to a number of different instrument development options over a 10 – 15 year horizon. Innovation Strengths Difficulties MS Capability EU Law Efficient and Fair & Sound. Viable Scenarios Data needs Quality, Detail

  6. Where are we now?

  7. Current Reporting:

  8. Instrument Description Review Date MM Decision No 280/2004/EC National Greenhouse Gas reporting (Historic Emissions, Policies and Measures and Projections). Used to assess Member State progress to targets, inform EU policy and to enable the EU to report to the UNFCCC Kyoto commitments. 2008/9 NECD Directive 2001/81/EC National Air Quality pollutant Reporting (Historic Emissions, Policies and Measures and Projections) (currently NH3, NMVOC, NOx & SO2). Reported data used to assess MS progress to targets and inform EU policy. 2008/9 EU ETS Directive 2003/87/EC Facility level reporting of emissions units for trading. Accounting system for emissions trading. E-PRTR Regulation No. 166/2006 Regulated process reporting (successor to EPER) with inclusion of diffuse emissions for public information. LCPD Directive 2001/80/EC1 Facility level reporting of large conventional combustion plant. Instruments being examined 1: • Reporting Emissions Data

  9. Instrument Description Review Date IPPC: Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive 96/61/EC, and Regulation 1882/2003/EC[1] Facility level permitting and emission limits 2008/9 WID: Waste Incineration Directive 2000/76/EC1 Facility level permitting and emission limits VOC Solvents Directive 1999/13/EC1 Facility level permitting and emission limits LCPD Directive 2001/80/EC1 Facility level permitting and emission limits Fluorinated gases: Regulation 842/2006 Company level report on production/ import/ export of fluorinated greenhouse gases 2011 Ozone depleters: Regulation 2037/2000 Regulations to reduce the production and use of ozone depleters CO2 from new cars: Decision No 1753/2000/EC Regulations to reduce the CO2 intensity of new cars Fuel quality directive 98/70/EC, petrol and diesel fuels Regulation to control the quality of petrol and diesel. Sulphur content of fuels, Directive 1999/32/EC Regulation to reduce the sulphur content of fuels. EU Directives adopting Aarhus Convention’s requirements: 2003/4/EC, 2003/35/EC. Regulation to enforce the sharing and publication of environmental information in a clear and concise manner. Shared Environmental Information System for Europe Proposals for improved management of environmental information. INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC A framework for standardised spatial information collection storage and dissemination. Instruments being examined 2: • Enabling Data Quality:

  10. Problems • Limited Prioritisation of Inventory Compilation • Lack of Resources & Expertise • Lack of Common Definitions • Lack of Transparency • QA/QC: Different levels • Overlapping Reporting • Different Timing • Different/Similar Methodology Reports & Emissions Reports • Different Tools & Templates. • Lack of drivers for country specific data (through other instruments) • Poor links with other Statistical reporting • Limited Influence on National Statistics. • Limited accessibility of facility Level Activity Data & detail • ………. • …….

  11. Where we want to get to….

  12. UNFCCC NEC Directive UNFCCC NEC Directive Nat Syst E-PRTR E-PRTR LRTAP LRTAP MM Directive MM Directive EU ETS Where we want to get to: Utopia • Streamlined or not streamlined ? EU ETS

  13. Defining Utopia Industry Example of Data Flow: Industry Operator Regulator Reported Data Emissions DB Regulated Inventory Agency National Inventory Reporting National Inventory Total (sub sector x) NSA National Statistics National Statistics Reporting Unregulated ---------- Noddy’s Autos and the National Data Flow -------------

  14. Idealised Data Flow & the role of the Directives:

  15. How we will get there….

  16. Illustration – MM proposals

  17. Harmonised Definitions & Reporting • Harmonize definition sections • Definitions • QA/Q • National System • General data issues • SEIS • INSPIRE D D D D Definitions section Reference Objectives, targets, … R R R R Reporting section Instrument … Instrument N Instrument 1 Instrument 2

  18. Combined Definitions • Overarching reporting directive • Definitions • QA/Q • National System • General data issues • SEIS • INSPIRE D D D D Definitions section Harmonize Objectives, targets, … R R R R Reporting section Instrument … Instrument N Instrument 1 Instrument 2

  19. Combined Definitions & Or Reporting • Overarching reporting directive • Definitions • QA/Q • National System • General data issues • SEIS • INSPIRE • Reporting Templates D D D D Harmonize Definitions section Objectives, targets, … Reporting section Instrument … Instrument N Instrument 1 Instrument 2 R R R R

  21. Workshop 1: • Problems and Solutions • Translation to Directives

  22. Next Steps

  23. Project Next Steps • June/July 2008: Identify options  Scenarios for Commission • Options: Detailed building blocks (annotated directives & Linking Tables) • Scenarios: Things that can go together (and things that cant) • Costs/Benefits • June/July 2008: Country analysis Visits and Brief….. • August 2008: 2nd Workshop with MS • Presentation of Options and Scenarios • “Training”… • September 2008: Final Report Reporting Directive NECD Revision IPPC (Industrial) Directive EUMM Revision ….Others…
