IPPU Updates

UNFCCC COP27
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt
November 2022

IPPU Main Updates
o Implementation of higher Tiers• Higher Tiers mean more disaggregated data are needed, i.e.
technology-specific EFs and plant-specific data
• A user may use a mix of Tiers within the same categoryo Introduction of a category subdivisions (e.g. national, region,plant, etc.)• A user can enter a single subdivision (e.g., a national level) or many
user-defined sub-divisions (e.g., prefectures or facilities)

o More possibilities to select user-defined technologies,
production processes and materials• Users can disaggregate each category according to its national
circumstances according to country-specific technologies, production
processes and input materials, and to enter country- or plant-specificvalues (EFs and parameters)

Summaryo All IPPU methods provided in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines areimplemented in the IPCC Inventory Software (i.e. allequations in Volume 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines)
o Flexibility of the IPCC Inventory Software to meet national
circumstances is ensured (as per a Tiered approach)o Sub-national reporting allows tracking specificactivities/emissions within a national GHG inventoryo The Guidebook for IPPU sector to guide users in
implementing each and every IPCC method in IPPU isunder preparation
