Software functions
BackgroundBackground IPCC Inventory Software is one of the tools produced by IPCCTFI to support development of National GHG Inventories bycountries
 First Excel-based software was developed for Revised 1996 IPCC
Guidelines Workbook, considering its wide usage by the countries
at that time (some countries are still using this tool) In 2012 new MS-Access based IPCC Inventory Software waslaunched that implements the 2006 IPCC Guidelines

Latest version 2.69 released in October 25, 2019 implements Tier 2 for most Energy,IPPU, Agriculture and Waste emission sources

Software functions (1) The software (42.5 MB exe file) can be quickly and freely downloaded fromIPCC TFI web-site It is designed for MS Windows OS, for MacOS a windows emulator is needed The database is password protected and a hint to recover the password is to beprovided (otherwise, once password is lost user can no longer access thedatabase) Software allows to backup database as MDB file and export/import of worksheet
data as XML file The Software (from v.2.0) can automatically convert the database to the latest
version when older version is opened

Please make sure to backup your database before upgrading the software tothe new version!

 Non-English User Manual is available in addition to the official English version:
French version translated by Government of Belgium
Arabic version translated by Sidati Ould Dah Ould EIDA (CCPNCC)

Software v.2.69: Livestock (3)Why IPCC Inventory Software can be considered asuser-friendly tool?
 Users can estimate emissions based on: Tier 1 and Tier 2 for all livestock categories simultaneouslyand compare results (QC) Detailed and Simplified method for cattle, buffalo and sheep
simultaneously and compare results (QC)
 Either Tier 2 or direct input of country-specific data
(Calculated/Specified option)
 Time series data entry option for multiple years without
need to switch between inventory years

Software v.2.69: Livestock (4) Users do not need to enter data common for several
categories several times, once such data inserted
software will do their automatic transfer: From 3A1 to 3A2 and vice versa (e.g. Livestock population,Gross energy intake, Digestible energy etc.)
 From Tier 1 to Tier 2 and vice versa (Note: relevant only forlivestock population)

 Nitrogen excretion rate data estimated in 3A2 areautomatically transferred to relevant 3C categories
 Default IPCC values are provided in drop-down boxes
both for Tier 1 and Tier 2 for all livestock categories forusers’ convenience
