NATIONAL EMISSION CENTRE
National emission inventory system
in Poland

UNFCCC WORKSHOP ON NATIONAL SYSTEMS
Bonn, 11-12 April 2005
Description of institutional arrangement for inventory preparation
• The estimates for emission values for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane
(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and for the
greenhouse gas precursors are compiled by the National Emission
Centre (NEC), at the Institute of Environmental Protection (IEP) in
Warsaw.
• Since 2000, NEC has been commissioned by the MoE to carry out
inventories for the GHGs and other air pollutants.
• NEC collaborates with a number of individual experts as well as
collaborating institutions.
• No other institutional and procedural arrangements were made; data
are received upon request.

Tasks of National Emission Centre:
Carrying out national emission inventories and preparing inventory reports
for the purposes of:
• national statistics and environmental management
• reporting to CLRTAP
• reporting to UN FCCC
• reporting to other international organizations (OECD, Eurostat,
European Environment Agency - EEA).
Setting up, developing and updating a database with data required to fulfill
tasks listed in 1.
• data on emission sources, activity data
• emission factors
• emission estimates
Development of inventory methodologies and fulfillment of „ad hoc” tasks
according to national and international obligations
Analysis of emission estimates to meet the needs of domestic (MoE, other
ministries, GUS) and international institutions (e.g. Eurostat, OECD, EEA).
Playing the role of National Reference Centre for air emissions and climate
change with respect to EEA and its EIONET network
Setting up and development of national registry for the needs of international
emission trading under UN FCCC and the Kyoto Protocol.

Current system of air emission inventories
• Annual inventory is compiled by NEC on a contract basis between MoE
and IEP (NEC home institution), renewed every year.
• Scope of the contract is modified every year depending on the current
needs and requirements.
• Methodologies used to calculate emissions and sinks of GHGs are in
accordance with methods recommended in basic publications of IPCC
(Revised 1996 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, and
Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories). According to these guidelines country
specific methods have been used where appropriate.
• The tables of Common Reporting Format (CRF), and accompanying NIR
Report are prepared in accordance with the UN FCCC Reporting
Guidelines on Annual Inventories.
Data collection; cooperation between involved entities
• Basic information on activity data regarding other IPCC categories, are
mostly taken from in various official GUS statistical yearbooks.
• The activity data that are not available in GUS publications, are worked
out by experts through studies commissioned by the Ministry of
Environment specifically for the GHG emission inventory purposes.
• Among the collaborating institutions are: Central Statistical Office
(GUS), Institute of Ecology of Industrial Areas in Katowice (IETU),
Institute of Automobile Transport (ITS) in Warsaw, Energy Market
Agency (ARE), Forest Management and Geodesy Bureau (BULiGL).

QA/QC
• Poland has not yet implemented a formal QA/QC procedure, including
verification plan, for the national emission inventory. However, several
checks are routinely carried out to eliminate possible errors.
• The first draft of the inventory in form of IPCC tables and draft CRF, is
usually produced 12-14 months after the end of the given year depending
primarily on the availability of required activity data. During the following
several weeks, extensive checks are done followed by consultations with
data providers.
• The calculated emissions figures for a given year, are compared to the
respective figures from previous years (time series), and outliers are
scrutinized in more detail.
• After the checking stage is completed, the final CRF is prepared together
with the accompanying report.
Emission uncertainty
• The estimate of emission uncertainty in the Polish GHG emission
inventory for the year 2002 has been done by using Tier I approach.
• The estimated total uncertainty for the three main GHG gases was found
to be: 1.7% for CO2, 9.8% for CH4 and 12.4% for N2O, respectively.
• The uncertainty figures varied significantly among various source
categories. Lower uncertainties were found generally for fuel
combustion and larger ones for the remaining source categories.
Official consideration/approval
• After completing of the inventory it is reviewed by MoE, Main
Inspectorate for Environmental Protection and National Fund for
Environmental Protection and Water Management;
• Then inventory data are officially approved by MoE.
Inventory submissions
• For the last 2 years there is a delay in submission
Data management and archiving
• All activity data, emission factors and resulting emission data are stored
at NEC database, which is constantly being extended to meet the ever
changing requirements for emission reporting, with respect to both UN
FCCC and LRTAP Convention
• NEC website: presentation of inventory data and reports for
downloading
http://www.ios.edu.pl/kcie
• Interactive database: to browse emission data for selected years,
sectors and pollutants
http://emissions.ios.edu.pl/
Resources (human)
NEC staff: 5 persons (full-time)
