2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories
The First Coordinating Lead Authors and Steering Group Meeting
The First Authors/Experts Meeting : Cross-cutting Issues and Reporting Tables
4-6 May 2004
Oslo, Norway
Meeting Report
1. BackgroundAt its Seventeenth Session, the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice of the
UNFCCC (SBSTA) invited the IPCC to revise the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories (1996 IPCC Guidelines), taking the relevant work under the Convention
and the Kyoto Protocol into consideration, and to aim at completing the work by early 2006. In
responding this invitation, the IPCC launched the project to develop the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for
National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006 IPCC Guidelines). The objective of the project is: toassess and collate scientific and technical information relevant to estimating greenhouse gas emissions
and removals in the context of the 1996 IPCC Guidelines, theGood Practice Guidance andUncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GPG2000), and the Good PracticeGuidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (GPG-LULUCF). IPCCXXI accepted theworkplan, terms of reference (TOR), and table of contents (TOC) of the project that were prepared by
the Scoping Meeting held in September 2003 and elaborated by the Task Force Bureau on Inventories(TFB). This was followed by the selection of authors in accordance with the IPCC procedures
including the government nomination process. To initiate the series of authors/experts meetings todevelop the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, the First Coordinating Lead Authors and Steering Group Meeting(CLA/SG Meeting) and the First Authors/Experts Meeting on Cross-cutting Issues and Reporting
Tables were held in parallel in Oslo, Norway, on 4-6 May 2004. The meeting was organised by the
Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT) and the Technical Support Unit of the IPCC National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme (NGGIP-TSU).
The meetings were opened by Dr. Harald Dovland, Deputy Director-General of the Ministry ofEnvironment, Norway, who emphasised the importance of the 2006 GLs work, as an fundamental
contribution to the future international cooperation in climate change. Task Force Co-chair expressed,
on behalf of the IPCC Inventories Task Force Bureau and all the participants, for the generous hostingof the meetings, and thanked all the authors for their willingness to contribute to the report preparation
work to be completed in early 2006.

2. Objectives and Organisation of the Meetings
The main objectives of the First CLA/SG Meeting were:•

To provide guidance on consistency in drafting the sectoral volumes of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines•

To discuss issues common to sectoral volumes of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (use of the EFDB in
preparation, update of IPCC default values, general structure of the methodological guidance, etc)•

To discuss links among the different volumes (feedstocks, CO2 capture and storage, indirect N2Oemissions from air pollution, etc.)•

To prepare the detailed outlines for the sectoral volumes•

To discuss pre-meeting tasks for the lead authors and identify gaps in expertise in sectoral authors
lists

•

To discuss how to include the cross-cutting issues and prepare the reporting tables in collaboration
with the authors of the Cross-cutting Issues and Reporting Tables

The main objectives of the First Authors/Experts Meeting on Cross-cutting Issues and Reporting Tables
were:

•

To prepare guidance on cross-cutting issues for the sectoral volumes•

To prepare an initial First-Order draft of the Volume on Cross-cutting Issues and Reporting
Tables for the 2006 IPCC Guidelines

The two meetings had the joint opening session which was followed by the first joint plenary session
to share the common understanding on the objectives, procedures, general and key issues of thedevelopment of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, and also to build the bridge between the Cross-cuttingvolume and each sectoral volume. Following the first joint plenary, CLA/SG meeting and the Authors/Experts Meeting on Cross-cutting Issues and Reporting Tables were held in parallel to discussinter-sectoral and intra-sectoral issues.
The two meetings were attended by fifty-seven participants including CLAs of all volumes andtwenty-two LAs of the Cross-cutting volume, Steering Group of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines project,and others. (See Attachment A).
3. Plenary Sessions and Breakout Group Sessions
Joint Plenary Sessions
The guidance on cross-cutting issues was discussed at the joint plenary on the second day. After thepresentation by CLAs of Cross-cutting volume (See Attachment B), some issues were raised, which
include:For reporting tables•

Whether to use Implied Emission Factors  may be used in the QA/QC•

Where to address activity data2•Which level of tiers worksheets are for - worksheets is linked only to Tier 1- as far as methods are available, their results needs to be presented in the table•

Worksheets on uncertainties and key categories need to be developed at least for the internal
documentation purpose.

For other issues•

How to address uncertainties associated with regional data and country specific data•

Aggregation level of categories under each sector  input from sectoral BOGs are needed•

Definition of tiers  moving tiers may not necessarily decrease uncertainties

CLA meetings
CLAs met every morning to discuss issues including the linkage among sectoral volumes andcross-cutting volume. The issues discussed/agreed include:•

The mutual participation by CLAs of IPPU and Energy volumes to each sectoral meetings was
proposed to address allocation of issues between both sectors, in particular non-energy use offuels and feedstock.

•

The energy volume will play a central role on carbon capture and storage questions, while
IPPU needs to address carbon capture in industrial sector, and Waste volume needs to takecarbon storage questions.

•(See the timetable questions in the subsequent meeting output section.)

CLA/SG Meeting
The CLAs of each sector discussed their sector specific issues and the planning of the sectoral
meetings. The outputs from these discussions include; detailed TOC, suggested breakout groups andidentification of issues for those breakout groups' discussions as well as suggestions for background
papers. The following section highlights issues that were discussed in the sectoral discussion.
IPPU
Some modifications of TOC on sub-heading level were made includeing; the merger of groups on
ozone precursors and solvent use, separate sub-sections for adipic and nitric, shift of “soda ash”
from “mineral” to “chemical; wider scope for fugitive fluorinated by-product emissions e.g.
CF3SF5 from fluorination. The scope of gases was also discussed.
The points of discussion include;-

non-CO2 emissions from industrial processes and product use,-

CO2 emissions from industrial processes and product use,-

carbon stored in products and used in feedstocks – (could it be considered as carbon
capture and storage?)-

NMVOC, CO and SO2 in a simplified way (links to other protocols and guidance)
and atmospheric conversion to CO23-

where to report on direct CO2 from energy consumption in industrial processes(links and overlap with energy section)?

Waste
Following issues need to be considered in the course of revision of the sectoral volumes.
-

specific issues like recycling (affects activity data - amount and composition)-

links with other volumes-

whether/where to treat CO2 storage in geological formations and oceans (here or in
Energy/IPPU)-

issues requireing consideration in relation with other sectors, e.g. Slugde spreading(N2O emissions) in the agriculture sector, waste incineration –where to report. Should
it be in energy use in Energy sector, anaerobic digestion should be in Energy sector if
CH4 is used for energy, HWP in AFOLU, Sludge spreading and open burning ofmanure and agricultural waste should be addressed in AFOLU or Waste,-

more data and parameters of country-specific methods are required to provide
methodologies-

Consideration of a revised Tier 1 approach for landfills based on a simplified decay
model

EnergyThe CLAs conclusions include;-

CO2 and non-CO2 for (stationary) combustion are separate in 1996GL: the separate
treatment is a left-over of early GHG inventory methods and they should be
integrated.

-

By definition the non-energy use of fuels should not be dealt with in the Sectoral
Approach in the Energy sector

AFOLU
The CLAs identified following points to be included in the sectoral volume of AFOLU-

Clear guidance on approaches and information for the estimation of fluxes/stocks
from pools-

Clear reference on where in GL96 and GPGs those gases/pools are covered needs tobe given to users-

Highlights on differences in methodologies among 96 GLs, GPG2000 and
GPGLULUCF
CLAs also highlighted the areas that need to be improved,-

includeing;

consistent representation of lands and management systems (e.g. animal
characterization, land use statistics, manure management),-

Cross-cutting issues,-

additional categories, pools, and methods

4

Detailed TOC were prepared and will be further refined at the sectoral authors meetings.

Authors/Experts Meeting on Cross-Cutting Issues and Reporting Tables
After the short plenary session to clarify issues and tasks of each breakout group, six breakout groups(Uncertainties, Methodological Choice and Identification of Key Categories, Time Series Consistency
and Recalculation, QA/QC and Verification, Reporting Tables, and Data collection) discussed their
specific issues and prepare the guidance on how to address cross-cutting issues with the harmonised
way for sectoral groups. In addition to the guidance to sectoral authors, BOGs also discussed thesection specific issues and planning to develop the First Order Drafts. The results of the discussions
were presented in the joint last plenary session with the CLA/SG meeting. Some of the points ofdiscussion in the BOGs are as follows:
Uncertainties BOG-

Detailed contents in the line with the chapter outline-

Issues arise in evaluating the previous works, which include the clarification ofterminologies and their definitions such as the use of the term ‘approach’ instead oftiers, and the application of 95 percent confidence level and 2.5th to 97.5th percentile.

-

Current gaps that need to be filled include the better guidance for model-based Tier 3,
more information on types and sources of uncertainty, trends analysis, howuncertainty can be reduced, default uncertainty estimates, etc.

Methodological Choice and Key Category Analysis BOG-

Improvement of user friendliness from the previous works-

Issues on aggregation levels of each sector

Time Series Consistency and Recalculation BOG-

Applicability to other issues , not just for recalculations-

Inclusion of mitigation and time series consistency-

More guidance on splicing methods

QA/QC BOG-

Issues need to be elaborated including the development of sample checklist for‘internal documentation’, trend and time series checks-

Confidentiality issue-

Inclusion of verification approach

Reporting Tables BOG-

The guidance to sectoral authors and authors of the Cross-cutting volume. The groupalso discussed the main components of the reporting tables.

Data Collection BOG-

The detailed outline of the chapter-

The guidance to sectoral authors and authors of Cross-cutting volume.

Cross-cutting issues in 2006
GL
Kristin Rypdal and Newton Paciornik

Basis• 1996 GL (very little, reporting instructions includingtables)• GPG 2000
• GPG LULUCF• Volume I on cross-cutting issues• Cross-cutting issues in the sectorial volumes

1

Attachment B

Vol I Structure & issues• Approaches to data collection• Uncertainties• Methodological choice & key categories• Time series consistency & recalculations• QA/QC & verification• Reporting guidance & tables

Link to sectorial volumes• Vol I will provide general methodologies• The sectorial volumes are expected to come up withsource-specific guidance– QA/QC– Time-series consistency– Uncertainties– Reporting and documentation– Completeness– Decision trees

2

Attachment B

Link to sectorial volumes• The vol I LAs will suggest a guidance for handling crosscutting issues in the sectorial volumes– More details tomorrow• Several of the LAs and the CLAs will be present at thesector meetings– CLA presentation of the guidance• The reporting table BOG will suggest criteria fordeveloping reporting tables

General• 2006 GL will not be extremely different from GPG 2000
• GPG LULUCF is considered a further development andimprovement• Avoid using the term ”tier” in volume I– Confusing due to estimation ”tier”– Often complementary3Attachment B

Data collection• New chapter– Direct observations• Measurements/standards• Sampling to obtain spatial data
• Surveys/censuses– Literature reviews• Methods• Choosing data

Data collection• Expert judgment– Methods– Documentation• Will pick up issues from GPG uncertainties and QA/QC• Key challenges– Focus– Other international activities/guidance– Consistency with the sectorial guidance– Guidance for developing countries with poor statistical systems
and data availability

4

Attachment B

Uncertainties• Increase clarity– Provide good definitions• Improve the description of sources of uncertainties– Reductions in uncertainties• Approach 1 trend calculation• Incorporate parts of the ”Conceptual basis from GPG2000”

Methodological choice• Increase clarity of the guidance in general• Integrate LULUCF and non-LULUCF to one method• Clearer guidance on aggregation level– Draw on experience from reporting from EU and othercountries• Inventory user experience• Review experience• Inventory compiler experience5Attachment B

Time-series consistency• Methods appropriate, but consider additional splicing
methods– Examples• Change focus somewhat towards general time-series, notjust recalculations• Increased focus on mitigation and time-series consistency• QA/QC and trends (inter BOG discussion on usefulchecks)QA/QC & verification• Keep the ambition level• Make the guidance more practical & link to the inventory
development process• Link to data collection & uncertainty• Address confidentiality• Integrate verification– Focus and expand on practical approaches• Comparisons with other sources of data etc.
• More advanced techniques: only very briefly

6

Attachment B

Reporting guidance & Tables• Produce criteria for the production of tables by the sector
LAs• Extractions from the old reporting instructions– BOG to consider what goes where based on TSU proposal• Sector LAs responsible for for tables, source/sink categories andseveral other issues• General introduction – partly outdated• Worksheets - sectorial•

Reporting guidance & Tables• Main body of reporting instructions– Step by step instructions (partly outdated?)– Time periods – needs update (sector issues)– QA/QC/uncertainty/verification/documentation: addressed
elsewhere– Relation to data collection? Integrated and dynamic process,not stepwise• Where to print the tables? Sector volumes or in vol I• BOG task to suggest what goes where + deletions andsuggest updates and responsibilities7
