1 Science questions How will source-receptor relations change due to expected changes in emissions? How should future emission scenarios be constructed?

2 Global emissions of NO x [million tons] Source: IIASA, Cofala et al., 2005

3 Emission standards for gasoline vehicles Current legislation 20102000 Source: IIASA, Cofala et al., 2005

4 Emission standards for diesel heavy duty vehicles Current legislation 20102000 Source: IIASA, Cofala et al., 2005

5 Projections of global SO 2, NO x, BC and OC emissions from anthropogenic sources, relative to 2000 Source: IIASA, Cofala et al., 2005 Business as usual, with recent air quality legislations SO2NOxBCOC Maximum technically feasible reductions

6 Currently ongoing activities China (Hao Jiming) EDGAR (John van Ardenne) GEIA (Claire Granier) EMEP (Kristin Rypdal)

7 Emission = Activity level x Emission Factor Type of Sources and Pollutants, for a base year  Coal combustion: SO 2, NOx, CO, Hg, PM  Biomass burning: black carbon  Emissions from transportation sector: VOC, NO, PM  Industrial processes: Hg from nonferrous metal smelting and cement production  Other sources of VOCs  a guideline for developing emission inventory Emissions Inventories

9 9 Issues in emission inventories john.van-aardenne@jrc.it Activity data: biofuel use / biomass burning / statistics non-OECD Emission factors: emission abatement Grid maps (cm 2 technical possible; data is often missing) Temporal resolution (emission by month/week/day/hour) Emission height (in which model layer is emitted?) Compound speciation (NMVOC, aerosol) Verification studies

10 10 Emission inventories and this task force john.van-aardenne@jrc.it 1. Make use of existing work. Do not define a new inventory but provide means for existing emissions inventories (global/regional/country/city) to exchange knowledge and improve insight. 2. Verification of existing inventories - Global emissions budget: (inverse studies/satellite data) - Spatial/temporal resolution (measurement campaigns/regional modeling) - Emission factors/speciation (local measurements) 3. Science vs accountancy - Scientific capacity building in emission inventory development (exchange/training) - Fund accountancy work such as data mining on activity data and grid map construction for which often no scientific credits can be gained. -1-3: How to deal with national (UNFCCC/EMEP-CORINAIR) emission inventories do we aim at independent estimates?

11 Emission inventories: a few issues Claire GRANIER Service d’Aeronomie / IPSL, Paris, France Also at: Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany and CIRES/NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory, Boulder, USA

12 Development of international databases Within:  the GEIA (Global Emissions Inventory Activity) project of IGBP Co-chairs: A. Guenther (NCAR, Boulder, USA) and C. Granier  the ACCENT (Atmospheric Composition Change) European Network Version 2 of the GEIA database developed as part of ACCENT http://www.accent-network.org First (global) inventories of GEIA-2 will be released ~ June, 15  POET (1990-2000)  RETRO (1960-2000) Tools will be soon available:  visualization  comparisons  regridding  formats

13 A few issues Consistency between inventories:  gaseous/aerosols and VOCs speciation  spatial: local, regional and global  More links between communities: national/international and international projects (organize an international workshop?) Natural emissions  from static inventories to interactive parameterizations/models to take into account impact of meteorology, climate change and land- use change. Database of ancillary data under development within GEIA and ACCENT (more participants welcome). Verification of emissions  intercomparisons of inventories and input data (emission factors, activity data, fire counts/area burned, etc.)  Inverse modeling : is currently limited to a few species (CO, NO2) at the global scale. Has started to be used for local/regional emissions. Methods still under development, an intercomparison could be organized.
