Transcription

1 SAN ANDRES MAJOR UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF AGRONOMY Opening conference Expert Meeting on Use of IPCC Guidelines Emission inventories in practice: The case of Bolivia Developed by Emilio Garcia-Apaza M.Sc. Ph.D. Former Consultant on GHG Inventory 2nd National Communication Lecturer on Environmental Impact Assessment Yokohama, August 22, 2011

2 How we got the GHG inventory in Bolivia IDENTIFICATION AND ANALISYS OF VARIABLES FOR THE GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES (GHG) INFORMATION REQUIREMENT OF THE MAIN KEY CATEGORIES RESEARCH ON THE ADEQUATE EMISSION FACTORS FOR A GIVEN SECTOR INFORMATION COLLECTION SISTEMATIZATION AND DATA PROCESSING RE-CALCULATION OF PAST GHG INVENTORIES GHG INVENTORY GENERATION

3 Sectors in GHG inventories estimated in Bolivia ENERGY NO ENERGY ENERGY SECTOR AGRICULTURE SECTOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES SECTOR (Include Solvents and Other Products Use) LAND USE AND LAND USE CHANGE AND FORESTRY SECTOR WASTE SECTOR

4 Methodology used for the inventories in Bolivia Activity Data (AD) and Emission Factors (EF): The AD has been obtained from major institutions with official data. Default EF: derived from the IPCC Guidelines. Also, some EF data were estimated from research done in local universities. Software: IPCC GHG Inventory Software for the Workbook (UNFCCC Software) was used. Uncertainties: which have been calculated based on the method for uncertainties of the IPCC guidance. Projections: Based on results from 1990 to Key Source Analysis: Using the key sources identified in previous inventories. Local guidelines: were developed additional the IPCC guidelines. Guidance developed for quality assessment (QA/QC) : used in the inventory.

5 Methodology used for the inventories in Bolivia The 2nd National Communication used the: a) Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines. b) IPCC Good Practice Guidance (GPG2000) c) GPG for the LULUCF (GPG2003).

6 Methodology used for the inventories in Bolivia: excel sheets

7 Prior definitions according IPCC used in Bolivia Tier: Which are the working levels, methods that establish the quality of the inventory. Industrial Processes, Agriculture, Energy, Waste LULUCF Not used Tier 2: Similar to T1 but with local emission factors Tier 3: Using national methodologies consistent with IPCC directives Tier 1: Default methods

8 Prior definitions according IPCC used in Bolivia Activity data: Characterize the human activity (example: production data for given industrial processes, number of cars, production quantity of same crop, etc.) which are associated with emissions or sinks. OBTAINED FROM SPECIALIZED INSTITUTONS Ministries, National Subministries, 100% NGOs, Statistic Private Programs, Institute Units from the Producers. government Decentralized institutions XXX % emitted

9 Prior definitions according IPCC used in Bolivia Emission Factors: Emission ratio per unit of activity. A EF is a coefficient that relate the data activity to the chemical compound quantity. Emission factors are often based on a sample of measurement data, averaged to develop a representative emission rate for a given activity level under a given set of operating conditions. DEVELOPED BY RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS National Institutions 100% XXX % Public makes research Universities EMITTED Private universities from the Government (INIAF) NGOs who in association with the government

18 Why inventories were (is) important for Bolivia Fundamental to assess the objective of the Convention and monitor the implementation of the values of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. Basis for evaluating the effectiveness of policies, development of methodologies and the preparation / evaluation of projections. Essential for the discussions and work on future actions: the adaptation issue.

19 Why inventories were (is) important for Bolivia It is an integrated database with appropriate information for environmental management, which it is used by the government to design policies in the climate change matters; It is a public instrument which allows the government to verify compliance with the environmental targets set by international agreements;

20 Why inventories were (is) important for Bolivia An instrument that raises public awareness about atmosphere contamination, reports on emissions from individual sources and allows the government to compare emissions from different sources;
