INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
UNEP
WMO
The 2006 IPCC Guidelines
Simon Eggleston
Head, Technical Support Unit for the IPCC National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme
Note:
Production of new guidelines is still at an early
stage (due 2006)
Guidelines still need to be compiled and reviewed
So cannot state definitively contents of new guidelines
Can indicate areas where changes or additions are
anticipated
We will introduce issues that have arisen while
drafting the volumes

2
The Existing IPCC Guidelines
Comprise three parts:
Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines For National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories
Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management
in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GPG 2000)
Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use
Change and Forestry (GPG2003)

Guidelines have been very successful.
The approach provides options for all countries.
There are methods for almost all source and sink
categories.
The IPCC created standardized reporting tables
Successfully standardized source sink category
definitions, units, classifications, and reporting
techniques
Have become the standard reference for
inventories
Have played a critical role in furthering the goals of
the UNFCCC.

IPCC Good Practice Guidance
Framework for prioritizing resources through guidance
on methodological choice and key category analysis
Guidance on QA/QC, quantitative uncertainty
analysis, methodological choice, reporting and
documentation, time series and consistency
LULUCF change from activity-based to land usebased accounting system
New guidance on land classification, Kyoto
accounting, additional categories
New reporting structure and tables

However
Basis of Guidelines now 10 years old
New information, scientific and technical advances
have appeared
Further sources have been identified or have arisen
Time for a complete revision of the guidelines

Mandate
SBSTA17 invited the IPCC to revise the Revised 1996
IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories, taking into consideration the relevant work
under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol, and to
aim to complete the work by early 2006.
In response to the SBSTA request, IPCC agreed the
terms of reference and outline of the work at IPCC XXI
in late 2003.

2006 Guidelines
Will be based on
the existing Guidelines and Good Practice
Guidance reports
Emission Factor Database (EFDB)
Advances in science and technology
The experience in the use of GLs/GPGs as well
as experience from UNFCCC inventory reviews
(e.g.FCCC/SBSTA/2003/INF.10)
A key principle will be to approach the revision
with flexibility but to maintain the existing
structure as much as possible to facilitate the
job of inventory preparers (evolution not
revolution)

Volume 1: Cross-cutting topics
Revised and consistent general guidance on
QA/QC,
Quantitative uncertainty analysis,
Methodological choice,
Data selection,
Reporting and documentation,
Time series and consistency
NEW recommendation for key category analysis
level of assessment
Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
10
Volume 2: Energy
Methods for most sources are well developed from the
1996 Guidelines and Good Practice
Some important issues:
Treatment of energy use of fossil fuel,
Accounting for atmospheric oxidation of CH4,
NMVOCs, and CO (e.g., fugitive CH4 from coal
mining, oil & gas)
Capture and storage of CO2
Abandoned coal mines
Aviation and marine emissions
Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
11
Volume 3: IPPU
Merging of Industrial Processes and Solvents
chapters from the 1996 Guidelines
Significant development on F-gases
Areas for new work:
Flat-panel display
Broader coverage of mineral and chemical
industry
Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
12
Volume 4: AFOLU
New structure merges Agriculture and LUCF to
resolve inconsistencies and avoid double
counting/omissions.
Builds on the work of GPG 2000 and GPG 2003,
particularly the shift to consistent land classification
approach
Countries have had very little experience with LUCF
GPG
General need to streamline the guidance in LUCF
GPG
Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
13
Volume 5: Waste
No major restructuring necessary
Areas for further development/new methods:
Improvement of emission factors for developing
countries
Methodological work on accounting for reductions
in CH4 from landfills
Development of improved Default method for Landfill
sites
Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
14
2006 Guidelines - Gases
Current coverage:
CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 (direct GHGs)
NOx, CO and NMVOC and SO2 (indirect GHG;
precursors)
New gases identified in the IPCC TAR will be included if
they meet following criteria:
GWP Available
Anthropogenic sources identified
Basis for methodological development
Relative importance total emissions
Technical Support Unit, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Programme, IPCC
15
Precursors & Indirect GHG
NOx, CO and NMVOC and SO2
A need for development for New methods for
ozone precursors is not anticipated as these are
addressed under other agreements and
conventions.
Users referred to other guidance

16
2006 Guidelines – New Sources
New Sources will be included if the following criteria
are met:
Basis for methodological development including
the ability to develop default emission factors
exists
It is feasible to obtain the necessary data to
implement the method
The source is significant within the sector.

Conclusions
Writing is still continuing - First Order Draft nearly
finished – due January 2005
Review not undertaken yet - So cannot be definitive
on any changes in guidelines
However many improvements identified
Guidelines to target for delivery in 2006
