2006 IPCC Guidelines: The New Sector “Industrial Processes & Product Use (IPPU)”

Side-Event at SB22 on “2006 Guidelines”

Outline

Why combine “Industrial Processes” and “Solvent and Other Product Use”?

New sector structure

Non-energy use of fossil fuels

Boundary between “Energy” & “IPPU”

New emission factors

Conclusions


Combining Industrial Processes and Solvent Use

„Solvent & Other Product Use“ comprised only 4 pages of guidance in 1996 Revised Guidelines!

“Industrial Processes” in 1996 Guidelines already covered some product emissions

2000 Good Practice Guidance did not address „Solvent & Other Product Use“ at all

Need for consolidation of approaches and balanced presentation of information

Recommendation from Scoping Meeting to combine “Industrial Processes” & „Solvent and Other Product Use“ into IPPU-Volume


New sector structure

New sources added

New gases added

Re-grouping of sources

More coherent source categories

Possibly some adjustments required based on relevance of sources and new sources becoming know


Mineral Industry


Chemical Industry


Metal Industry & Non-Energy Use


Electronics Industry & Fluorinated Substitutes for ODS


Other Product Use


Non Energy Use of Fuels

Relevant sources included more clearly

More differentiated factors for „oxidation during use“

Accomodation of solvent use


Non Energy Use of Fuels


Boundary between Volume „Energy“ and „IPPU“

Operational definitions of energy versus industrial process emissions exist in 1996 GL and FOD 2006 GL

More consistent approach desirable in principle e.g. in steel, refineries & petrochemical industry

However, there are varying existing national practices and limitation to data availability

Scoping Process recommended to maintain the flexibililty

Future national intensity targets and other ghg reporting scheme may require more consistency


New Emission Factors

New sources and gases as well as technological development and improved knowledge result in the need for new emission factors (tier 1, 2, 3)

Proposed time-dependent tier 1 emission factors e.g. for HFC-23 and Electrcical Equipment

Problem of free riders

• Sets of new emission factors e.g. for semiconductors, foams, refrigeration and electrical equipment

Expert judgement versus full traceability as required for EFDB


Conclusions

Significant gain of knowledge about sources and gases since 96/00

Strong participation from industry Dynamic sector with rapid technological change Policies and voluntary actions already show a strong

impact on emissions from several sources Emission are sometimes physically unbound -> strong

requirements regarding transparency and traceability of emission factors

Challenge to maintain the evolutionary approach


Thank you for your attention!
