INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME UNEP WMO 2006 IPCC Guidelines: The New Sector “Industrial Processes & Product Use (IPPU)” Bonn, 20. May 2005 Maritim Hotel Side-Event at SB 22 on “ 2006 Guidelines” Dr. Jochen Harnisch, Ecofys Gmb. H

Outline Ø Why combine “Industrial Processes” and “Solvent and Other Product Use”? Ø New sector structure Ø Non-energy use of fossil fuels Ø Boundary between “Energy” & “IPPU” Ø New emission factors Ø Conclusions Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Combining Industrial Processes and Solvent Use Ø „Solvent & Other Product Use“ comprised only 4 pages of guidance in 1996 Revised Guidelines! Ø “Industrial Processes” in 1996 Guidelines already covered some product emissions Ø 2000 Good Practice Guidance did not address „Solvent & Other Product Use“ at all Þ Need for consolidation of approaches and balanced presentation of information Þ Recommendation from Scoping Meeting to combine “Industrial Processes” & „Solvent and Other Product Use“ into IPPU-Volume Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

New sector structure Ø New sources added Ø New gases added Ø Re-grouping of sources Ø More coherent source categories ÞPossibly some adjustments required based on relevance of sources and new sources becoming know Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Mineral Industry Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Chemical Industry Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Metal Industry & Non-Energy Use Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Electronics Industry & Fluorinated Substitutes for ODS Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Other Product Use Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Non Energy Use of Fuels Ø Relevant sources included more clearly Ø More differentiated factors for „oxidation during use“ Ø Accomodation of solvent use Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Non Energy Use of Fuels Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Non Energy Use of Fuels Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Boundary between Volume „Energy“ and „IPPU“ Ø Operational definitions of energy versus industrial process emissions exist in 1996 GL and FOD 2006 GL Ø More consistent approach desirable in principle e. g. in steel, refineries & petrochemical industry Ø However, there are varying existing national practices and limitation to data availability Þ Scoping Process recommended to maintain the flexibililty Þ Future national intensity targets and other ghg reporting scheme may require more consistency Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

New Emission Factors Ø New sources and gases as well as technological development and improved knowledge result in the need for new emission factors (tier 1, 2, 3) Ø Proposed time-dependent tier 1 emission factors e. g. for HFC-23 and Electrcical Equipment ÞProblem of free riders • Sets of new emission factors e. g. for semiconductors, foams, refrigeration and electrical equipment ÞExpert judgement versus full traceability as required for EFDB Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC

Conclusions Ø Significant gain of knowledge about sources and gases since 96/00 Ø Strong participation from industry Ø Dynamic sector with rapid technological change Ø Policies and voluntary actions already show a strong impact on emissions from several sources Ø Emission are sometimes physically unbound -> strong requirements regarding transparency and traceability of emission factors Ø Challenge to maintain the evolutionary approach Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
