1 Workshop on QA/QC of GHG inventories & Establishment of National Inventory Systems – EEA, Copenhagen, September 2004 Jean-Pierre Fontelle French reporting activities

2 Overview of different steps in national system UN and EC specifications Statistics and other sources of information Terms of reference Choice of methodologies Data identification Data collection Archiving Data treatment, main results Approval by Committee Final reports and products Transmission to national authorities Approval by authorities Transmission to UN and EC Publication www.citepa.org Archiving International review Action plan implementation CITEPA Multiple organis. National authority Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004

3 Overview of main features of QA/QC plan The national inventory system is unique and covers all national air emission inventories (ie for UN and EC purposes) Inventory compilation based on processus and procedures driven by a quality management system (QMS) Only one organisation responsible for inventory compilation (CITEPA which is certified ISO 9001 version 2000) QA/QC is operational and implemented through the QMS It is expected that the quality of inventories will be improved on an ongoing basis, especially by reducing uncertainties, by covering more substances, both in a convenient and efficient way Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004

4 Quality control IPCC Tier 1 requirements implemented through QMS procedures QC checks : conducted by CITEPA and upstream compilation by statistics offices, administrations, etc. and by some experts depending on data and priorities (key sources) Annual process cycle based on automatic and manual procedures Examples of main check types :Main methods Plausibility,reference range Exhaustivity of data (activity rates, check list emission factors, documentation, etc.) Accuracy of calculationsimulation Comparability of estimation methods analysis and reference with guidelines (UNFCCC, IPCC, EMEP/ CORINAIR, EC, WBCSD, etc.) Trend in activity rates, emission analysis, statistical factors, emissionstreatment Consistencycross-checking Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004

5 Quality control QC procedures are applied to all input data including those provided by statistics institutes or administrations Priority is focussed on non validated data vs official data However, checks of input data enables a high level of reliability more than an accurate assessment of absolute values Common QC procedures compatible with IPCC good practices are applied to the different stages in the processes Example : documentation, assumptions, primary calculations are compiled within « methodology files » the national inventory system includes approximatively 140 files which cover the SNAP activities (some files deal with several SNAP codes). Some data (activity rates, emission factors, etc. are common to certain files. Mapping these files makes it possible to check interlinked consistency Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004

13 Implementation of GPG requirements within the Management Quality System - extract

14 Quality assurance Procedures in place : CCIIE (Coordination and Information Committee on Emission Inventories) + international review (UNFCCC) + external experts (for some activities) Other complete external reviews are expected but not yet implemented because of resources needed but not available An action plan is progressively drawn up over time from : decisions taken at recent CCIIE meetings events occurring during the current year changes and improvements following to remarks from reviews, errors, new information available and approved / delayed / rejected by the CCIIE Every year, final statement by early December (data sent before 31st December N+1, reports available in January / February N+2 Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004

15 CCIIE April, September & December Action plan Engineers (experts !) Several solutions (good practices ?) no hope ? generate « good » data launch inquiries collect new data more in-depth investigation, or search for new method start again hunt out confidential data external experts report (NIR) UNFCCC EC / EEA etc. Reviews QC QA spend long nights data treatment results QA OK ! Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004 OK !Authority

16 Verification, quality manual, quality management system, documentation, archiving, resources Verification : see QC + QA procedures Resources required : QA / QC currently being integrated, no specific estimation is available but account for a significant amount (10-15% ? of total emission inventory activities, more ?). Initial QMS implementation has required approx. 5 man. months for 2,5 years. Example justifying the use of QMS : Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004 Quality manual and quality management system : yes (see ISO 9001 certification) Documentation, archiving : stringent requirements in QMS to trace all information used (including origin, primary data, assumptions, etc.) and all intermediate and final results

17 Verification, quality manual, quality management system Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004

18 National inventory system Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004 Organisations involved : Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development (MEDD) oversees the national emission inventories and their dissemination CITEPA is responsible for inventory compilation, technical discussion with international organisations, assists the MEDD in coordinating activities, provides facilities for dissemination (Internet) Interministerial Mission on the Greenhouse Effect (MIES) is responsible for submitting GHG inventories to international bodies French Institute for the Environment (IFEN) is responsible for dissemination to EIONET and various other media

19 National inventory system Workshop QA/QC GHG inventories & National Inventory Systems - September 2004 Additional legislation : none for the moment Tools used : Excel, Access, Internal applications Improvement plan : CITEPA + CCIIE Committee Expert judgements documented through QMS (ie technical notes, minutes of CCIIE Committee meetings) QA/QC integration : CITEPA certified ISO 9001 vers. 2000 by AFAQ
