Outline of the presentation § The Swedish national system – (requirement under the Kyoto Protocol, to ensure reporting of GHG emissions the entire committment period) § The Swedish air emission inventory system § Organisation of work and data handling § Quality system § Some results The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010
The Swedish National System § Swedish Ministry of Environment overall responsibility § Swedish EPA to coordinate and manage the national work of inventory and reporting (GHGs and Air Pollutants) – Annual delivery of inventories to Ministry § Swedish Ordinance 2005: 626 defines responsibilities for authorities § Identified authorities to contribute by calculated or other input data (or review of calculated data) § Annual deliveries from authorities are specified: – which data or other information – what quality – when § SMED consortium performs inventories under a framework contract with Swedish EPA The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010

The SMED Consortium § Was established in 2000. § Consists of four independent organizations. § Four programme areas: Air, Water, Waste, Hazardous Substances. § Has performed the National Greenhouse Gas and Air Emission Inventories since 2000. § Since 2006, a long-term framework agreement with the Swedish EPA to compile data and documentation for national and international environmental reporting.

Organization of air inventory work § Annual inventory project – Lead by a project leading team (one from each organization) – Both greenhouse gases and air pollutants covered within the same system – Common workspace and archive at www. projektplatsen. se § Work guided by a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) system and manual § Development projects and improvements, as needed and prioritized by the Swedish EPA The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010

I National authorities Activity data Emission factors National statistics Activity data The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010
Data handling § All common data and documents are kept and archived at the workspace on the web, accessible to all inventory staff. § Confidential input data are archived at each organisation. § A technical support system is the master database. It allows for some quality control (QC), as well as archiving and version control. The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010
Annual Process of Air Inventory Preparation § Data collection Improvements § Data processing § Compilation (reporting tables, inventory reports) SMED internal audit § Submission to the Swedish EPA § National independent review (GHGs), corrections, suggestions for improvements § Swedish EPA submits to the Ministry of Environment § Ministry of Environment submits to Conventions and EU § International review, suggestions for improvements The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010

Plan § Annual start-up meeting for inventory – – – time planning resources risk assessment changes/improvements needed? etc. . . § Activity plan § Roles and responsibilities The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010
Do: Inventory preparation § Work documentation for each type of emission source – (a) Manual for inventory staff – (b) Background information for national independent reviewers – References to Guidelines/other documentation – Describes methodologies/choices of methodology – Describes procedures for data collection and calculations – Includes suggestions for improvements – Describes QA/QC-procedures The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010
Check § General Tier 1 quality control (QC) according to IPCC Good Practice Guidance chapter 8. § QC-checklists § Internal audit within SMED § External review (national independent review, UNFCCC, CLRTAP) The Swedish air emission inventory system Karin Kindbom, 30 November 2010
Act: Corrective actions and follow-up § Corrections or suggested improvements from QA/QC steps (audit, review) are solved immediately if possible. § Required or desirable changes and improvements taken into consideration in the inventory planning procedure, in cooperation between the Swedish EPA and SMED. § At a final meeting each year the project is evaluated regarding project organisation, efficiency and quality.
