(NGGIP)

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 NGGIP IPCC/OECD/IEA GHG Inventories programme
started 1991 Since 1999 IPCC NGGIP (TSU at IGES/Japan) Objectives and activities
to develop and refine an internationally-agreed methodology and software for the calculation and reporting of national GHG emissions and removals; and
to encourage the widespread use of this methodology by countries participating in the IPCC and by Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Why is the EFDB needed?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.
14
EFDB is expected to serve as...EFDB is expected to serve as... LibraryLibrary of well documented emission factors and ot
her 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 platformCommunication platform for distribution and commenting on new research and measurement data.
15
Data contained in EFDBData contained in EFDBAt 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 E
FDB 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…
16
Procedure for Data ProposalsProcedure for Data ProposalsEFDB 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 <[email protected]@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 ManualEFDB User Manual for Web Application.
4) EFDB Editorial BoardEFDB 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

Criteria for Inclusion of New DataCriteria for Inclusion of New DataRobustRobust
Within the accepted uncertainty, the value is unlikely to change if there was repetition of the original measurement programme or modelling activity.
ApplicableApplicable An emission factor can only be applicable if the source a
nd 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.
DocumentedDocumented Access information to the original technical reference m
ust be provided to evaluate the robustness and applicability as described above.

Possible Benefits to Data ProvidersPossible Benefits to Data Providers
Making your emission factors or related information available to the EFDB will benefit you and your research institute, because it willPromote your own research results/publicationsPromote your own research results/publications,
since references to relevant publications will be contained in the dataset.
Involve you in ongoing IPCC activities.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.

2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines- Revision of the 96GLs; to be ready in 2006
24
2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines SBSTA17 invited the IPCC to revise the Revised 1996 IPC
C 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 Manage
ment (GPG 2000), IPCC Emission Factor Database, Good Practice Guidance on Land Use, Land-Use Change and Fore
stry.” (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.
25
2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines The 2006 Guidelines will consist of 5 volumes based on cro
ss-cutting issues and individual sectors.Overview1. Cross-cutting Issues, and Reporting Tables2. Energy3. Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU)4. Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU)5. 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 IPCC TAR) available to justify reliable methods.
Development of new methods for ozone precursors will be addressed under other agreements and conventions (e.g. UNECE/TFEIP Guidebook on Emission Inventories).
26
IPCC Software IPCC Software for the Workbook
27
What is the IPCC Software?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.
28
UsersUsersFor those who do not have a national invento
ry 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.
29
AttentionAttention
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.
