5
Chapter 2 Mineral Industry

• Consistent approach based on carbonate content
  of inputs for all source
• Guidance to report emissions from carbonates
  where they occur
• Inclusion of new guidance for other carbonates
• Guidance on clays in ceramics industry

6
Chapter 3 Chemical Industry

• New sources
• - N2O emissions from production of caprolactam,
  glyoxal, and glyoxylic acid
• - CO2 emission from production of titanium
  dioxide
• - Separation of CO2 from urea use and production
  
• - CO2 from various petrochemical processes
• - Expanded method for HFC-23 and consideration
  of other fluorinated by-products

7
Chapter 4 Metal Industry

• Added guidance on emissions from zinc and lead
  production
• Greatly improved guidance on production of
  ferroalloys
• Detailed treatment of different production routes
  for iron and steel including DRI and
  metallurgical coke (Emissions from metallurgical
  coke should be reported under Energy Sector.)

8
Chapter 5 Non-Energy Products from Fuels and
Solvent Use

• Inclusion previously separate chapter on solvent
  use
• Consideration of use of fuels as lubricants,
  paraffin waxes, bitumen/asphalt and solvents
• Focusses on direct CO2 emissions

9
Chapter 6 Electronics Industry

• Added guidance on production of PV cells, LCD and
  heat transfer fluids
• Inclusion of new gases applied in the industry
• Update of emission factors including treatment
  of abatement
• Inclusion of a new tier 1 method providing
  emission factors activity data

10
Chapter 7 Fluorinated Substitutes for ODS

• Tier 1 approach on actual emissions (potential
  emissions approach is no longer considered
  appropriate see Annex 2)
• Reference to regional/global data bases for
  activity data
• Preparation of use of EFDB as depository also for
  activity data

11
Chapter 8 Other Product Manufacture and Use

• SF6 from electrical equipment
• - Replacement of three parallel Tier 3 mass
  balance methods by one flexible method
• New tier 1 emission factors for regions and
  technologies
• Addition of other sources e.g. nuclear fuel
  cycle and military applications

12
Questions and Answers

• Imposing undue effort on countries in requesting
  reporting of new sources and new gases?
• 2006 IPCC Guidelines provide methods for
  estimation of GHG emissions for as wide a range
  of gases and sources based on up-to-date
  knowledge available. COP to decide on reporting.
• New boundary problems between Energy and IPPU?
• Potentially yes, but discretion for countries
  remains and no other way to integrate bottom-up
  data e.g. from emission trading schemes
  corporate reporting
• Too many industry experts with vested interests
  involved e.g. in CDM projects or emissions
  trading?
• ? IPCC procedures including review strong
  co-chairs/SG/CLAs provided a counter-balance

13
Conclusions

• Dynamic sector with rapid technological change
• Strong participation from industry good access
  to sector knowledge but safeguards against
  lobbying required
• Policies and voluntary actions already show an
  impact on emissions from several sources
• Rapid expansion of knowledge about sources and
  gases since 1996/2000, including emission trading
  schemes and voluntary reporting
• Wealth of information on new sources of
  immeadiate benefit to inventory compilers
• Greatly improved user-friendliness many
  simplifictations including new tier 1 methods
