The Swedish National System
 Swedish Ministry of Environment overall responsibility
 Swedish EPA to coordinate and manage the national work of
inventory and reporting (GHGs and Air Pollutants)
– Annual delivery of inventories to Ministry
 Swedish Ordinance 2005:626 defines responsibilities for
authorities
 Identified authorities to contribute by calculated or other
input data (or review of calculated data)
 Annual deliveries from authorities are specified:
– which data or other information
– what quality
– when
 SMED consortium performs inventories under a framework
contract with Swedish EPA

The SMED Consortium
 Was established in 2000.
 Consists of four independent organizations.
 Four programme areas: Air, Water, Waste, Hazardous
Substances.
 Has performed the National Greenhouse Gas and Air Emission
Inventories since 2000.
 Since 2006, a long-term framework agreement with the
Swedish EPA to compile data and documentation for national
and international environmental reporting.

Requirements and guidelines
 What is be reported?
– Greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC, SF6 (UNFCCC,
EU Monitoring Mechanism)
– Air pollutants: SO2, NOX, NH3, NMVOC, CO, particles (TSP,
PM10, PM2.5), metals, dioxin (CLRTAP, EU-NEC)
 Methods and reporting guidelines
–
–
UNFCCC: IPCC Guidelines
CLRTAP: EMEP/EEA Emission Inventory Guidebook
 Quality system to produce and inventory which is:
– transparent, consistent, comparable, complete, accurate

Organization of air inventory work
 Annual inventory project
– Lead by a project leading team (one from each
organization)
– Both greenhouse gases and air pollutants covered within
the same system
– Common workspace and archive at www.projectplace.se
 Work guided by a quality assurance/quality control
(QA/QC) system and manual
 Development projects and improvements, as needed
and prioritized by the Swedish EPA

Data handling
 All common data and documents are kept and archived
at the workspace on the web, accessible to all inventory
staff.
 Confidential input data are archived at each
organisation.
 A technical support system is the master database. It
allows for some quality control (QC), as well as
archiving and version control.

Annual Process of Air Inventory
Preparation
 Data collection
Improvements
 Data processing
 Compilation (reporting tables, inventory reports), SMED internal
audit
 Submission to the Swedish EPA
 National independent review (GHGs), corrections, suggestions for
improvements
 Swedish EPA submits to the Ministry of Environment
 Ministry of Environment submits to Conventions and EU
 International review, suggestions for improvements

Check
 General Tier 1 quality control (QC) according to IPCC
Good Practice Guidance chapter 8.
 QC-checklists
 Internal audit within SMED
 External review (national independent review, UNFCCC,
CLRTAP)

Act: Corrective actions and follow-up
 Corrections or suggested improvements from QA/QC steps
(audit, review) are solved immediately if possible.
 Required or desirable changes and improvements taken into
consideration in the inventory planning procedure, in
cooperation between the Swedish EPA and SMED.
 At a final meeting each year the project is evaluated
regarding project organisation, efficiency and quality.

Result of all the work
 National Inventory Report (NIR to UNFCCC) and
Informative Inventory Report (IIR to CLRTAP)
- Institutional arrangements
- Quality assurance and quality control
- Key source analyses (basis for prioritisations of future
improvements)
- Uncertainty analyses
- Emission trend analyses
- Methodology description and results for all sectors
- Recalculations and improvements
 Reporting tables to UNFCCC (CRF) and CLRTAP (NFR)
– Emissions and activity data by source
 Data are used nationally for policy and follow up
 Data are used in GAINS-work

Conclusions
 An established system and process important for
reliable and complete emission inventories
 Define data needed and data providers
 Develop long-term co-operation for data delivery
– input to emission inventory
– additional data as input for GAINS, e.g cost, scenarios,
technologies
 Develop co-operation with relevant experts
– emission factors, technical experts, independent review etc
 Quality system and plan for improvements
 Enough resources
