Questions and Answers – Invitation to tender for Phase II of theSoftware for the IPCC 2006 Guidelines
1. General
Question 1: Budget ‐ In the document http://www.ipcc.ch/meetings/session29/doc13.pdf it is listed
that the budget for the years 2009 and 2010 is at any one time 60.000 Swiss Francs. Can we
consider that the budget for phase II is around 60.000 Swiss Francs?
Answer 1: The budget for 2009 and 2010 is available for Phase II.
Question 2: Source Code ‐Is it possible to get the source code of phase I for free to develop thesoftware further for phase II?
Answer 2: Yes

Question 3: 2.A.1 – Cement Production ‐Emission Factors – what default Tier 1 EF should bepresented to the user in the worksheet for 2.A.1? The one as specified in Equation 2.4 or
dynamically calculated according to Individual Type of Cement Produced using Table 2.1 in casethere is a relation between type of cement produced and Table 2.1.
Answer 3: Tier 1 default EF is the one specified in Equation 2.4. This value should be presented tothe users.
Question 4: 2.D ‐Non‐Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use ‐Asphalt Production and Use –there are no worksheets available in 2D_Non_Energy_Products.xls. How this should be treated?
Also no such category exists within 2.D. Is it included elsewhere?
Answer 4: Emissions of CO2 and CH4 are assumed to be negligible with the assumption there areno emissions of N2O (Vol3 3, Part 2, page 5.14). Hence no worksheet is needed and anyemissions that do occur should be reported in 2D4 “Other”.
Question 5: 2.D.3 ‐Solvent Use – there are no worksheets available in D_Non_Energy_Products.xls.
How this should be treated?
Answer 5: It is assumed there are no emissions of greenhouse gases from Solvents (Solvents
manufactured from fossil fuels as feedstocks) – just hydrocarbons (see Vol 3, Part 2 page 5.16).
Hence no worksheet is required. (Note use of fluorinated gases is reported in sections 2E, 2F or
2G as appropriate.)
Question 6: 2.F.4 – Aerosols – clarification on Tier 1 default Emission Factors is expected (also for2.F.6)

Answer 6: The default value for "Emission Factor (Loss of Current Year's Use)" should be 0.5 (=50%). (Vol 3, Part 2, Page 7.29)
Question 7: 2.F.5 – Solvents ‐clarification on Tier 1 default Emission Factors is expected (also for2.F.6)
Answer 7: The default emission factor (Loss of Current Year's Use) is 0.5 (= 50%) (Vol3, Part 2,page 7.24).
Question 8: 2.F.3 – Fire Protection ‐clarification on Tier 1 default Emission Factors is expected.
Answer 8: Vol 3, Part 2 pages 7.63‐64 gives default emission factors, for two cases (fixed systemsand portable extinguishers) and assumes as a default all the remaining gas is released at theend of the systems lifetime. Note the spreadsheet that is given for the calculation. ForCategory 2.F.3 (Fire Protection), specific spreadsheets are provided separately from theworksheet. This spreadsheet (as given in the file "V3_An1_Calculation_example_for_2F3.xls")
should be incorporated instead of the table shown on page A1.27.

3. AFOLU Sector
Question 9: 3.C.1 ‐Emissions from biomass burning – Worksheets for categories under 3.C.1 exist
but there is no separate PDF documentation within AFOLU guidelines. Where is the information
about 3.C.1 located?
Answer 9: Vol 4, Part 1, Pages 2.40‐2.49.
Question 10:
3.C.7 – Rice cultivations – Worksheets for category 3.C.7 exist but there is no
separate PDF documentation within AFOLU guidelines. Where is the information about 3.C.7
located?
Answer 10: Vol 4, Part 1, pages 5.44 – 5.53

4. IPCC2006 software Documentation
Question 11:
There is a Training manual required as deliverables (Chapter 4 and 5.2 of theInvitation for tender). Could you please explain in more detail the range of this document?
Answer 11: The manual should give: an overview of the software and how it operates, examples of
how to enter data in each type of data entry sheet, and how the software can be used by agroup and consolidated into one inventory.
