Whats New in the Energy Volume

Whats New in the Energy Volume

• IPCC 2006 Guidelines

Bonn, 18 may 2006 Tinus PullesTNO, Netherlands
2
Overview

• No real changes since the revised 1996
  Guidelines
• Whats new?
• Clear separation of Sectoral Approach and
  Reference Approach
• Clear treatment of non-energy use of fuels
• New chapter on CO2 Capture and Storage
• Methods for abandoned coal mines
• New methodologies and emission factors to reflect
  developing country circumstances as well
• Improved decision trees facilitating more
  accurate emission estimation
• Uncertainty information for all default values

Energy sector overview

• The energy sector comprises
• fugitive emissions during exploration,
  exploitation of primary energy sources,
• conversion of primary energy sources into more
  useable energy forms in refineries and power
  plants
• transmission and distribution of fuels
• use of fuels in stationary and mobile
  applications.

Non-Energy use of Fuels

• By definition Non-Energy Use is not dealt with
  in Energy but in Industrial Processes and
  Product Use.
• Sectoral Approach uses Fuel Combusted.
• A correction for Non-Energy Use is implemented in
  the Reference Approach to deal with the carbon
  stored in products
• The 2006GLs would help segregate energy and
  non-energy emissions from sectors such as iron
  and steel.

Abandoned Coal Mines

• Closed, or abandoned, underground coal mines may
  continue to be a source of greenhouse gas
  emissions for some time
• Tier 1 and Tier 2 methods, based on a database of
  abandoned mines are provided and default emisison
  factors are given.
