1. J-P. FONTELLE and J-P. CHANG
Producing in due time best available inventories of air emissions in France
J-P. FONTELLE and J-P. CHANG
2nd Joint UNECE Task Force & EIONET Workshop on Emission Inventories and Projections - GENEVA 9-11 May 2001

2. French inventory system
Only one core system for all air emission inventories
Only one inventory agency ( CITEPA ) :
officially mandated as NRC (EIONET) or NFP (TFIAM)
to produce various national air emission inventories for
France (UNFCCC, UNECE, LCP, NAMEA, EMEP, JQ),
technical expert correspondent for UNECE, EMEP,
UNFCCC, etc. and
in charge to produce additional inventory reports
(SECTEN, PRQA, etc.)

3. French inventory system
The current system includes different functions :
definition/identification of methods, data, sources,
procedures, etc.
data collection
data processing
reporting
validation and verification
inventory report and data diffusion

4. Specifications depending on inventory goals
Review, research, improvements
National terms of reference
Methodology
Recommandations from approval commitee
Data identification
Data
processing
Data collection
Confidentiality criteria
Data sources (statistics offices, administrations, agencies, research centres, industries, experts, literature, guidebooks, etc.
Validation
LCP inquiry
January n+1
Tax on emission
Other questionaires, etc., ...EPER
Continuous data flow collection

5. OPALE (road vehicle fleet) COPERT (road emissions)
Data
processing
Simple processing (measur. or Act. x EF)
Specific model implementation
OPALE (road vehicle fleet)
COPERT (road emissions)
COBRA (biogenic emissions)
AIR TRAFFIC
PROSPER (projections)
etc.
Validation
Additional data
LCP databases
Corinair databases
Specific databases
Uncertainties
Additional data for CRF
Additional data for NFR
Additional data for other needs
Early October n+1
Mid October n+1
Mid October n+1
overseas territories
Other interfaces (secten, namea, etc.)
Interfaces (unece, unfccc, etc.) including confidentiality criteria
Specifically developed because EEA/ETC interfaces not fully available in time, not complying with sufficient flexibility and national needs
Validation
November n+1
LCP inventory report
Other reports
Draft reports (unece, unfccc)
Early november n+1

6. Back to relevant previous stages Draft reports (unece, unfccc)
Early november n+1
Draft reports (unece, unfccc)
Recommandations for improvements (next revisions)
Distribution for external verification
November n+1
Early December n+1
Approval comitee meeting
Includes experts from various authorities, possibly extended to other relevant people
LCP inventory report
Final reports (unece, unfccc)
Other reports (secten, namea, etc.)
November n+1
Mid December n+1
Spring / Summer n+2
Diffusion to unece, EC, unfccc
Diffusion to EC
End December n+1
Early n+2 (< mid April)
Use for other inventories (EMEP, etc.)
Internet
Spring n+2

7. Expectations for the future (2 or 3 next years)
1 - Include new requests (NFR, EPER, etc.)
2 - Produce the National Report on Methodology
3 - Develop uncertainty estimates
4 - Improve QA/QC
5 - Adapt the system (management of new or additional data, uncertainties, etc. to be included)

8. Simple processing (measur. or Act. x EF) Specific model implementation
Additional data
For the Future -Additional data will be integrated in the system which will be refined to manage all kind of data
