BACKGROUND

The choice of a good practice method is given by the decision threes in the IPCC GPG according to national circumstances.

The UNFCCC -NAI Software contains, basically, the methods of smaller complexity that can use countries for the preparation of inventories.

However, in principle, the software can be used to report the estimated emissions independently of the complexity of used method (Tier 2, 3 etc).

More complex approach

-The software is prepared for the method Tier 1. The application of the method Tier 2 require the modification of the worksheets -The amount of CH4 is primarily driven by the number of animals, the type of digestive system and the type and amount of feed consumed. Tier 1: If the number of animals by livestock type (three years average) is available there are not difficulties to estimate emission using the software. -Simplified approach based on default EF. -Data on livestock categories and milk production should be used to select default EF. Notes: -It is good practice to review the Tier 1 EF to ensure that underlying animal characteristics used to develop them are similar to the conditions in the country. -Often Tier 2 is used for dairy cattle and sheep and Tier 1 for the other animals.

More complex approach

Tier 2 -Requires detailed country-specific data on nutrient requirements, feed intake and CH4 conversion rates for specified feed types which are used to develop EF for country-defined livestock categories. It uses the same equations of the Tier 1 but applies more disaggregated livestock population categories and uses calculated EF. Notes: -Animal population data should be from the detailed livestock characterization. -The Worksheets are prepared for the Tier 1 method (simplified). It is recommended to use the Tier 2 method if this category is key. The Tier 2 method uses country-specific information to calculate the EF. Suggestion: If that approach is used in substitution of the Tier1 method, then: 1) Modify the Worksheets using more disaggregated livestock categories. A bigger breakdown is usually required especially for the bovine livestock in categories by sex and age. For this should be added the necessary lines to the worksheets, maintaining the calculation procedures and their links with the sectoral summary tables. 2) Makes the calculations of EF outside of software; 3) Add note to the Documentation Boxes of Worksheets clarifying the used method. Provide detailed information in the NIR.

More complex approach

Tier 2: - A detailed method and is encouraged to be used for countries where a particular livestock specie/category represent a significant share of emissions. -Requires detailed information on animal characteristics and the manner in which manure is managed. Country-specific EF are developed using this information. Notes: -Animal population data should be from the detailed livestock characterization. -Some large countries have livestock in different climate regions. Different MCF values are given by the IPCC GPG for three climate regions (cool, temperate, warm). Suggestion: If that approach is used in substitution of the Tier1 method, then: 1) Modify the Worksheets using more disaggregated livestock categories. A bigger breakdown is usually required especially for the bovine livestock in categories by sex and age.

4B. N2O Emissions from Manure management

4-1s1 to 4-1s2 and 4-1 Supplemental

-N2O emissions produced during the storage and treatment of manure (dung and urine) before it is applied to land - The emissions depend on the nitrogen and carbon content of manure and on the duration of the storage and type of treatment. - The N2O emissions are obtained multiplying the total amount of Nexcretion (from all animal species/categories) in each type of manure management system by an EF for that type of manure management system. There are two options for the method: Option 1- Using the number of animals in each animal waste management system (AWMS) in the country and default values for the Nexcretion [Nex(t)] of each type of animals and the fraction of [Nex(t)] that is managed in each of the AWMS). If the number of animals by livestock type and AWMS is available there are not difficulties to estimate emission using the software. Default data for Nex (T) and the fraction managed are provided in the IPCC Guidelines.

N2O emissions produced during the storage and treatment of manure (dung and urine) before it is applied to land Option 2- In dependence of data availability the method can be applied with more detail level. The most accurate estimate will be obtained using country-specific EF that has been fully documented in peer reviewed publications. Notes: 1- Nitrogen excretion Nex (T) from all AWMS is estimated here. However N2O emissions from daily spread and pasture range and paddock are reported under Agricultural Soils (Section 4.6). 2- If the dung is used as fuel, emissions should be reported under fuel combustion in the Energy Sector. 3-If the dung is burned without energy recovery; emissions should be reported under waste incineration in the Waste Sector. 4-The emissions that arise from the application of the manure to soil (after storage or treatment) are to be reported under agricultural soils.

4C. CH4 Emissions from Flooded Rice Fields

4-2s1 -The IPCC Guidelines outline one method that uses annual harvested areas and area-based seasonally integrated EF. There are two options for the method Option1: Simple form. Using national AD (national total area harvested by water management regime) and a single EF. -If the national total area harvested by water management regime is available there are not difficulties to estimate emission using the software. Default values are provided for EF and other data. When applying this option keeps in mind that: - In the Workbook (and the Software) the Organic Amendment is not included into the Seasonally Integrated EF. It is used as term (column in the worksheet) separate. In the GPG it was incorporate to the Adjusted seasonally Integrated Emission Factor as SFo (scaling factor for organic amendments. -Also in the GPG were extended the default values to consider the amount of organic amendments apply as dry matter.

4-2s1 Option 2: Most disaggregated. Takes into account the conditions under which rice is grown (e.g. water management practices, organic fertilizer use, soil type) that can affect seasonal CH4 emissions. - Require disaggregated national total harvested area into sub-units (e.g. harvested areas under different water management regimes. -The different conditions that should be considered include rice ecosystem type, water management regime, type and amount of organic amendments, and soil type (up no now the soil factor has not been taken into account in the IPCC Guidelines). Notes: -Inventory Agencies are encouraged to implement the IPCC method at the most disaggregated level possible. Suggestion: If the option 2 is used in substitution of the option 1, then: 1) Makes the calculations outside of software; 2) Incorporates the results manually in the Sectoral Table and the Tables of Summary of the Inventory, 3) Add note in the documentation box of the Table 4-2s1 clarifying the used method and results obtained.

Remarks

4E. Prescribed Burning of Savannas

4-3s1 to 4-3s3 -The burning of savannas results in instantaneous emissions of CO2. However as the vegetation regenerates between burning cycle the CO2 is reabsorbed during the next growth period. For this reason, net CO2 emissions are assumed to be zero. Savanna burning also releases other trace gases. -The non-CO2 trace gas emissions are estimated through a series of simple calculations (based on a set of important data rather a specific EF). -Area burned, biomass density, fraction actually burned, fraction of living biomass, carbon fraction of living and dead biomass, combustion efficiency. -At present ‘good practice’ for this source category is the application of the IPCC Guidelines following the suggested approach in the decision tree.

Notes: 1- If data are available, savanna burned should be subdivided into relevant subcategories reflecting different conditions and characteristics into the country. 2- It is desirable to develop the seasonal-dependent AD and EF in various savanna ecosystems in each country if data are available. 3- In the IPCC GPG is described as appendix some details of a possible procedure near to the previous one but introducing the calculation of EF and combustion efficiency. This procedure is not yet considered as good practice.

There are two options for the method Tier 1a: Equations provided in the IPCC Guidelines. The calculations can be performed in 9 steps in Worksheet 4-5. Tier 1b: Equations provided in the IPCC GPG (represent increased precision due the expansion of the terms). When applying this methods keeps in mind that: 1- The method Tier 1b is the favorite although it needs bigger quantity of data. 2- For several of the equations in the IPCC Guidelines were introduced modifications in the GPG that provide better estimates. Also in the GPG were improved definitions of some terms and were provided updated default values for some of the used EF. Suggestion: 1) Makes the calculations outside of software using the Tier 1b method; 2) Incorporates the results manually in the Sectoral Table and the Tables of Summary of the Inventory, 3) Add note in the documentation box of the Tables 4-5s clarifying the used method and results obtained.
