Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines including Software
for the Workbook

• UNFCCC Workshop on the Preparation of National
  Communications from non-Annex I PartiesApril
  26-30, 2004, ManilaKiyoto TanabeProgramme
  Officer, IPCC-NGGIP-TSU

2
IPCC NGGIP

• IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
  Change)NGGIP (National Greenhouse Gas
  Inventories Programme)
• to develop and refine an internationally-agreed
  methodology and software for the calculation and
  reporting of national GHG emissions and removals
  and
• to encourage the widespread use of this
  methodology by countries participating in the
  IPCC and by signatories of the United Nations
  Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Revised IPCC 1996 Guidelines

• Approach
• Annual emissions and removals
• By sector
• By gas
• Tiered approach
• National methods and emission factors can/should
  be used within the common reporting framework

5
Structure

• Volume I Reporting Instructions
• Introduction, general instructions, reporting
  tables, uncertainty management and glossary
• Volume II Workbook
• step-by-step instructions how to estimate the
  emissions
• Default values
• IPCC Software a supplement to the Workbook
• Volume III Reference Manual
• Scientific background, understanding of the
  methodologies, references

6
Sectors

• Energy
• Industrial Processes
• Solvent and Other Product Use
• Agriculture
• Land-Use Change and Forestry
• Waste

7
Gases

• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane (CH4)
• Nitrous Oxide
• Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons
  (PFCs) and SF6
• Ozone and aerosol precursors (CO, NMVOCs, NOx and
  SO2)

8
What is the IPCC Software?

• A tool to help users (inventory compilers)
  prepare national GHG inventories based on the
  Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines
• It contains
• Worksheets from the Workbook (Vol.2)
• Formulas are built in. ? Facilitate calculation
  of GHG emissions/removals
• Reporting tables from the Reporting Instructions
  (Vol.1)
• Linkages between relevant cells are built in. ?
  Facilitate reporting in accordance with the
  Guidelines.

9
Users

• For those who do not have a national inventory
  available already and are not experienced in
  producing such inventories
• The software will be quite useful.
• Even for those who have their national
  inventories based on their own methodology
• The software will be still a valuable tool for
  self-verification and/or for formatting the
  summary reporting tables.
• Note There is no tool for transferring data
  automatically to this software.

10
Attention

• When running the software, the users should read
• Software Manual (available in English, Spanish,
  French, Russian)
• Workbook of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines
• The software should be used with the commercial
  spreadsheet application Excel, version 5 or a
  later version.

11
How to obtain and install

• It is recommended to download the software and
  its manual through the internet from the
  IPCC-NGGIP websitehttp//www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or
  .jp/public/gl/software.htmGuidance on how to
  install is given on the website.
• It is also available in the form of CDROM, or in
  the form of Floppy Disks.

12
How to start

• Double-click the IPCC Software icon.
• Enable macros.
• Specify the year of inventory by
• selecting a year from the drop-down list or
• type in a new year (4 digits)
• Specify the template by
• selecting a year that you want to use as a
  starting point or
• selecting Blank sheets
• Then, Overview.xls will come up. Type in your
  contact information etc., and proceed to the next
  step.

13
Completing your inventory

• Clicking Sectors at the top of the screen, and
  select the sector you will work with. Then, a new
  file for that sector will be opened.
• Energy (Module1.xls)
• Industrial Processes (Module2.xls)
• Agriculture (Module4.xls)
• Land -Use Change and Forestry (Module5.xls)
• Waste (Module6.xls)
• Solvents and Other Product Use sector is not
  included in this software, because there is no
  Workbook methodology for this sector.
