Convention Work-plan 2003 1.7 TECHNO-ECONOMIC
ISSUES Description/objectives To further explore
best available techniques (BAT) for emission
abatement, their efficiency and costs to develop
techno-economic databases and methodologies for
evaluating uncertainties and to draw up draft
revisions of techno-economic issues in annexes to
protocols, including the Protocol on Heavy Metals

• Convention Work-plan 2003, (continued)

Main activities and time schedule (a) The
Expert Group on Techno-economic Issues, with
France as its lead country, will continue its
work toward the development of software
describing emission control options, their costs
and ranges of uncertainties. The Expert Group
will hold several meetings during 2003,
including sectoral meetings, a workshop on
software use, and one or two plenary sessions.
The results of the sectoral meetings will be
transmitted to the Expert Group at its plenary
meetings

• Convention Work-plan 2003, (continued)

Main activities and time schedule (b) Tables
will be prepared by the Expert Groups
secretariat of in-country data on costs of
abatement techniques in the selected sectors
according to SNAP/NFR (Nomenclatures for
reporting) as defined in the Guidelines for
Estimating and Reporting Emissions Data, as well
as explanatory notes to the tables

• Convention Work-plan 2003, (continued)

Main activities and time schedule (c) In
2003, validated data on typical installations,
including information on investment and
operational costs, etc., of abatement techniques
will be submitted by countries and transmitted to
the Centre for Integrated Assessment Modelling
(CIAM). CIAM will aggregate the data and input it
into the RAINS model. They will also be used in
the updating of technical annexes to protocols to
reflect emission control options and their costs,
as part of the protocol review process, beginning
in 2004.
