IPCC EXPERT MEETING ON GOOD PRACTICE
IN INVENTORYPREPARATION:
Energy, Transport and Fugitive Emissions
28-30 APRIL, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLICOBJECTIVES••••To examine the use of good practice in inventory preparation for the energy sector;

AGENDA FOR BREAK-OUT GROUPS
Each half-day session is approximately 3 hours.

1.

Break-out group chair:

Identify break-out chairs, involve them in the planning
process. The chair should in the group present a summary ofthe IPCC Guidelines for their sources, including a discussionof the tiered approach (10-20 minutes), lead the discussions,
report to the plenary, work on summary paper Good practicein Inventory preparation (3-5 pages ) including decision trees
By the end of the meeting the breakout group have to provide
first order of drafts on good practice guidance for particularsource. These will be subject of further revisions according
the proposed time schedule

Presentation of national approaches

Depending on the size of the source and time allotted, thiswill consist of 1-3 presentations. The workshop and breakout chairs should try to identify candidates 2 weeks before themeeting. Each presentation should summarize a national
approach to a source or sector, and identify main issues andproblem areas. (5-10 minutes each)Background paper:

Since this background paper will serve as the basis for
substantive discussion on good practice guidelines, authors
will need enough time to prepare a thorough report. Thisshould be the first priority once the call for nominations hasgone out. (15 minutes in plenary, as needed in breakout
groups). The background papers have standard structure.
After the revisions, the papers will be made available for allparticipants as proceedings

2.Discussion of issue areas
a: Methodological Approaches

b: Completenessc: Inventory QA/QC
d: Uncertainty Assessment

e: Reporting Issues,.
f: Identification of Priority Areas
g: Assignment of Tasks

Activity data & emission factors
Source split/aggregation - influence on the emission results
Outline preferred methods, discuss emission factors
Coverage of sources within a category, what should go to“Others”;
Flag areas for double counting
Assess appropriateness of uncertainty techniques.
Assign default uncertainty estimates to activity data and,emission factors.
Transparency , balance between transparency and too much ofdata
Review of formal UNFCCC and IPCC requirements
CBI, reproducibility etc
new sources etc.
Responsibilities for completing work after the workshop ends
