Transcription

1 AERA, an integrated solution to share spatial air emission data Piedmont Region Consortium for the Information System Simona Costamagna CSI-Piemonte, Territory Area Firenze, 26th June 2013

2 CSI-Piemonte CSI-Piemonte is a public consortium grouping a large number of public bodies and it is organized along private lines. We focus on the development and operation of Information & Communication Technology projects for the public sector Firenze, 26th June

3 AERA - ALps COopertation TRAns-frontier programme AERA (Air Environment Regions ALCOTRA) is a project developed in the operational framework of Italy/France Programme Firenze, 26th June

4 AERA partnership involves : Piemonte Region, Liguria Region, Valle d Aosta Region, Rhone-Alpes Region and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'azur Region. CSI-Piemonte is a technical partner of the Piemonte Region working on the ICT components, as expected in the sub-activity 3.2 Implementation of tools to support the planning Firenze, 26th June

5 AERA is focused on: comparing different air quality monitoring methods, in order to find critical points and possible technical interventions; identifying common protection measures through procedural and normative instrument choices; implementing shared information system on emissions inventory data, to arise both efficiency of public administration managements and citizen awareness. in order to improve the efficiency of protection plans for air quality and identify joint preservation strategies in cross-border areas ( CAFE Directive 2008/50/EC) Firenze, 26th June

6 AERA 3.2 Implementation of tools to support planning The developed tool allows the identification of zones and agglomerations at risk for exceeding assessment thresholds for air pollutants specified in Annex II - Section A of the 2008/50/EC Directive on ambient air quality. The tools can be useful to support not only air-related decision processes (air quality plans), but also every kind of sustainable development assessment, such as urban traffic plans, energy plans, EIA procedures and land use plans. Firenze, 26th June

7 air concentration of pollutants activities responsible for major emissions allows to develop sectorial environmental policies and to evaluate benefits of specific action plans in ALCOTRA territory Firenze, 26th June

8 Emission Inventory Methodology Data are calculated using standard algorithms, which express emission values following different parameters: activity types (e.g. energy production, transport, etc.); territorial units (e.g. municipality); fuel types; time period (e.g. year 2008); pollutant types (CO, CH4, CO, CO2, N2O, NH3, NMVOC, NOX, PM10, PM2.5, PTS, SO2); emission types. Firenze, 26th June

9 Emission Types AREAL SOURCES Total emissions aggregated to territorial entity domestic heating, small business, commercial, agricultural crops, pastures, forests PUNCTUAL SOURCES Major plants and landfills energy production, refinery, production of vehicles, foundries, treatment / disposal of waste, chemical industries, food industries, LINEAR SOURCES Emission for road traffic Firenze, 26th June

10 AERA emissions data are classified according to the SNAP nomenclature, defined within the CORINAIR project in order to adopt a clear classification of the many types of sources. SNAP classification is based on the distribution of emissions due to anthropogenic and natural activities into macro-sectors, further articulated in sectors and activities. Eleven macro-sectors are considered: 1. Energy production and fuel transformation processing; 2. Non-industrial combustion; 3.Industrial combustion; 4. Production processes; 5. Fuel extraction and distribution; 6. Use of solvents; 7. Road transport; 8. Other mobile sources and equipment; 9. Waste treatment and disposal; 10. Agriculture; 11. Other sources and absorptions Firenze, 26th June

11 AERA shared system implementation involves several tools/actions provision of a standard format to share emission inventories in order to realize a common base usable in diffusional modeling systems a Storage suitable for exchanging the output data of the emission inventories a common database of pollutant emissions, greenhouse gases (source point, linear, area), emission factors to supra-regional scale; Geo-Viewer: allows to compare data across borders, supporting interoperability services (OGC WMS and CSW) to disseminate and share AERA data and metadata, in order to make them reusable (e.g. in other geoportals of AERA partners). Firenze, 26th June

12 AERA shared system STORAGE (upload file.csv) OK Consistency controls KO DATABASE POSTGIS (normalization emissions data) Compliance checks (cod_nuts/cod_com, cod_mac_set/cod_set/cod-att, cod_napfue, id_unit) Exit KO OK GeoViewer (use WMS and CSW OGC standard) Firenze, 26th June

13 AERA Geoviewer and Geoservices Geoviewer allows to: display AERA Web Map Services: Total Emissions ; Eleven macro-sectors and ten sectors ; Punctual Emissions is dedicated to major plants and landfills; Administrative boundaries AERA (Municipalities, Districts and Regions). consult metadata delivered by partners using CSW provided by Piedmont Geoportal through the function Metadata Explorer consult other data served in WMS, useful if overlapped with emission inventory data (e.g.: transport network, buildings, forest fires, forest map) Firenze, 26th June

14 Emissions «Traffic Roads» - Pollulant PM10 Firenze, 26th June

15 Identify on Macro-sector 11 «Other sources and absorptions» Firenze, 26th June

16 AERA Discovery Metadata Discovery service is guaranteed in GeoViewer AERA by "Explorer metadata" that uses the Catalog Service Web (CSW) made available by AERA partners. e.g. Piedmont Region standard OGC CSW 2.0 Firenze, 26th June

17 AERA Metadata Firenze, 26th June

18 AERA Technological Solution 1 The solution is completely open source and based on the following main components: a storage area - restricted access only with functions of upload, research and download of regional emissions inventory data. The storage area is accessible to users through a specific Java Web application, allowing each partner to provide his own data, according to pre-defined format specifications. Shared data are always complemented by INSPIRE metadata; automated procedures Java and PostgreSQL, developed for processing and publication of geospatial data. This component manages data ingestion from the storage area to the storage system, and performs format and structure harmonization; Firenze, 26th June

19 AERA Technological Solution 2 Storage system consists of a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database; MapServer provides WMS OGC standard geo-spatial services for viewing maps; MapStore, a webgis Open Source framework developed by GeoSolutions provides the user interface, integrating and orchestrating MapServer OGC services and metadata explorer functionalities to browse the catalogues exposed in CSW format; User interface is multilingual Italian, French and English. Firenze, 26th June

20 What s next? As future steps, the project should increase quality and quantity of shared data, through: extension of pollutants range to macro and micro-pollutants; extension of emissions characterization at sectors level; integration of new emission sources ( e.g. traffic linear emissions); integration of new spatial aggregation levels (e.g. representation in standard grid 4 km or 1 km). Firenze, 26th June

21 Future at Technological level INSPIRE requires a multi-language support and requests a list of all supported languages as well as the default language in the capabilities document We will exploit the new available function of MapServer 6 called Multilanguage for certain capabilities fields to implement multi-language in the WMS: Firenze, 26th June
