Software for the Workbook
UNFCCC Workshop on the Preparation of National
Communications from non-Annex I Parties
April 26-30, 2004, Manila

Programme Officer, IPCC-NGGIP-TSU
IPCC NGGIP
 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
NGGIP (National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme)
 to develop and refine an internationally-agreed
methodology and software for the calculation and reporting
of national GHG emissions and removals; and
 to encourage the widespread use of this methodology by
countries participating in the IPCC and by signatories of
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC).
Reports & Tools for National GHG Inventories
1995: IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories

About to start
Revised IPCC 1996 Guidelines
Approach:
Annual emissions and removals
By sector
By gas
Tiered approach
National methods and emission factors
can/should be used within the common
reporting framework
Structure
 Volume I Reporting Instructions
 Introduction, general instructions,
reporting tables, uncertainty
management and glossary
 Volume II Workbook
 step-by-step instructions how to
estimate the emissions
 Default values
 IPCC Software – a supplement to the
Workbook
 Volume III Reference Manual
 Scientific background, understanding
of the methodologies, references
Sectors
Energy
Industrial Processes
Solvent and Other Product Use
Agriculture
Land-Use Change and Forestry
Waste
Gases
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Nitrous Oxide
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and SF6
Ozone and aerosol precursors (CO,
NMVOCs, NOx and SO2)
What is the IPCC Software?
A tool to help users (inventory compilers)
prepare national GHG inventories based on the
Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines
It contains:
Worksheets from the Workbook (Vol.2)
 Formulas are built in.
 Facilitate calculation of GHG emissions/removals
Reporting tables from the Reporting Instructions
(Vol.1)
 Linkages between relevant cells are built in.
 Facilitate reporting in accordance with the Guidelines.
Users
For those who do not have a national
inventory available already and are not
experienced in producing such inventories
 The software will be quite useful.
Even for those who have their national
inventories based on their own methodology
 The software will be still a valuable tool for selfverification and/or for formatting the summary
reporting tables.
 Note: There is no tool for transferring data
automatically to this software.
Attention
When running the software, the users should
read:
Software Manual (available in English, Spanish,
French, Russian)
Workbook of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines
The software should be used with the
commercial spreadsheet application Excel,
version 5 or a later version.
How to obtain and install
It is recommended to download the software
and its manual through the internet from the
IPCC-NGGIP website:
http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gl/software.htm
Guidance on how to install is given on the
website.
 It is also available in the form of CDROM, or in the
form of Floppy Disks.
How to start
Double-click the IPCC Software icon.
Enable “macros”.
Specify the year of inventory by:
selecting a year from the drop-down list; or
type in a new year (4 digits)
Specify the template by:
selecting a year that you want to use as a starting
point; or
selecting “Blank sheets”
Then, “Overview.xls” will come up. Type in
your contact information etc., and proceed to
the next step.
Completing your inventory
Clicking “Sectors” at the top of the screen,
and select the sector you will work with.
Then, a new file for that sector will be
opened.
Energy (Module1.xls)
Industrial Processes (Module2.xls)
Agriculture (Module4.xls)
Land -Use Change and Forestry (Module5.xls)
Waste (Module6.xls)
Solvents and Other Product Use sector is not
included in this software, because there is no
Workbook methodology for this sector.
Energy sector module
Contains the following worksheets.
