Legal instruments might be required Effects of the EU ETS on data delivery Data reporting requirements of ETS has impacted on GHG key data providers Some Key Data Providers more sceptical of GHG data use Need to closely couple data delivery of ETS and NIS G reen H ouse G as i nventory Oct Nov Data collection Emission Calculation Dec Jan Output (CRF) Sept Database entry Core Activity Aug Official consideration & approval Feb Mar Apr National Inventory Report Preparation - Inputs from all sector experts - Content evolves following FCCC Expert Review Team comments and Peer Review comments - Netcen co-ordinates - Internal review - Defra review May Jun Archiving Jul Aug G reen H ouse G as i nventory Quality Assurance and Quality Control Data Collection QA/QC Planning UK NIS Web Site Management Archiving G reen H ouse G as i nventory IPCC definitions Quality Control A system to ensure regular & adequate checking Quality Assurance A system of regular independent reviews Peer reviews In-depth reviews (FCCC) G reen H ouse G as i nventory Quality Control Documentation & referencing UNECE NFR Annual Data Flow Data Request Raw Data Compilation: Emissions Dissemination UNFCCC Online Internal Documentation Contacts DB: Who, What, When -Full reference -Calculation Method -Compilation Procedure - Responsibilities - Record of Change CRF Methodology Reports QA/QC programme and plan QA activities e.g. Peer Review: Aviation -peer reviews Sept Oct Nov Dec Data collection Emission Calculation Jan Output (CRF) Aug Quality Control -Full referencing of input data -check units, time series consistency -second person check -document on QA/QC page -online manual Feb Mar National Inventory Report Preparation -unique reference -check data input data Other Peer Review: …… e.g. Peer Review: Agriculture -review of emission factors & methods Database entry Core Activity Quality Assurance G reen H ouse G as i nventory -Time series -pollutant expert check -Global check -Explain large changes -Database fuel totalsvs-National statistics -mass balance checks Apr May Jun Jul Aug Archiving -check tables and numbers -database files -Second person check -spreadsheet files -source data -check database CRF output -CRF totals -manuals -report -check for large changes from previous year Key Documentation Checking External Check G reen H ouse G as i nventory Quality Assurance: activities 2002-2005 Verification of the halocarbon inventory UK Met.

Netcen is the inventory agency. Designate Single National Entity with overall responsibility for the inventory. Make available the postal and electronic addresses of that national entity. NIS Organisational Structure, Responsibilities, Legal & Procedural Basis Establish & maintain the institutional, legal and procedural arrangements for NIS functions. Include the definition of specific responsibilities between government agencies and other entities (e.g. on choice of methods, activity data, emission factors, QA/QC). Establish processes for official consideration and approval prior to submission UK Defra (GA) manages contracts with Netcen, CEH, IGER and others. Data providers include DTI, EA, DfT, UKOOA, UKPIA, Defra (other), FC, ODPM and Industry sectors. Development needed Netcen clears NIR and CRF via Defra before submission to UNFCCC. Formal designation required for UK Defra – in progress. Formal agreements with key data providers to guarantee quality, timeliness and format of data required by Netcen. Well advanced - UK considering Memoranda of Understanding and also legal basis. Each Key Data Provider needs to review its legal and resourcing issues regarding delivery of data to Defra and inform Defra of required development of data acquisition & reporting systems, resources and legal framework to fulfil NIS requirement. Further early review of provisional inventory with Key Data Providers may be needed. Comments on time series consistency and magnitude of emissions. G reen H ouse G as i nventory Overview of NIS compliance Requirement Existing arrangements Resources of Inventory Agency & Key Data Providers Clearly defined annual cycles of data provision in place (e.g. energy statistics) in the UK. Single National Entity sufficiently resourced to carry their roles. Inventory Agency under contract to Defra The NIS should ensure sufficient capacity for rigorous & timely performance of Inventory Agency & KDP functions including:Data collection, data processing, data reporting, QA/QC, technical competence of staff, audit & review, continuous review Planning & Management of GHGI Process Establish a NIS that ensures that inventory activities are planned, prepared and managed to ensure compliant performance of functions such as: data collection, method & emission factor selection, uncertainty assessment, QA/QC, inventory review. Strong and well defined planning and management process in place Short internal reviews to confirm resourcing position and strengthen systems where appropriate. Review of current NIS system prior to implementation of the UK NIS. Sufficient capacity for timely performance of functions (including data collection and technical competence of staff) Peer & Expert Review Process Two reviews to date – CO2 from fuel combustion and agricultural sector GHG Estimation Methods Preparation of inventory estimates in accordance with IPCC guidelines and good practice guidance Follow IPCC 1996 guidelines and 2000 Good Practice Guidance Development needed Currently implementing the recommendations of these reviews – completed prior to fixing our Assigned Amount. Review prior to 2006 NIR, and selective implementation of recommendations of the Peer Reviews. G reen H ouse G as i nventory Overview of NIS compliance Requirement Existing arrangements QA System Requirement Key Data Provider Work to generate Memoranda of Understanding well advanced. MoUs developed for all Key Data Providers. QA System Requirement Documentation & Archiving Advanced, tested and externally inspected system in place. Two key databases – inventory database, and contacts database. Data Schedules to define format, quality, timeliness, security Establish clearly defined & detailed schedules to describe the requirements of data provision by KDPs, to include:-format, timeliness of delivery, QA/QC requirements, security of data provision Maintain a system of clear documentation & archiving to ensure transparency of data flows from raw data through inventory compilation to reporting. Inventory management: Archive all relevant inventory information (AD, EFs, documentation outlining assumptions, methods etc) in a single location. Include internal documents on QA/QC procedures, external and internal reviews, annual key sources, key source identification and planned inventory improvements. Clear data archiving in single location will facilitate Art. 8 reviews of inventory data. Inventory ‘locked’ and all relevant information archived each year after the inventory is completed. Development needed Formalise MoUs – may choose legal instrument to secure data provision instead. Review system and check for any compliance gaps. G reen H ouse G as i nventory Overview of NIS compliance Requirement Existing arrangements QA System Requirement: IPCC Guidance, Tier 1 & Tier 2 QC Procedures Most procedures already in place. Development needed Review and checks for any compliance gaps. Implement general inventory QC procedures (Tier 1) in accordance with QA/QC plan and IPCC guidance, and conduct source category specific QC procedures (Tier 2) to key source categories or where significant revisions have been made. NIS reporting requirements (280/2004/EC, Art.3.1, and the Implementing Provisions for this – see also the timescale for MS reporting obligations in Annex VI of the Implementing Provisions, and the description of reporting requirements of supplementary information under Art. 7 para 2 in the Marrakech Accords.) Reporting of QA/QC activities and status of NIS are included within the NIR. New Annex to summarise the UK NIS – current status and development work.
