Fugitive emission

The 1994 GHG Inventory (1)

• First Emission Inventory developed in Peru

• One purpose effort: Report to the UNFCCC

• Based on available information

• Developed by consultants

The 1994 GHG Inventory (2)

• Capacity built ?

• Poorly documented, difficult to replicate, verify

• Results did not call attention

• GHG emissions were not the focus of concern

• Air Quality :Local problems linked to Global problems

Planning for the 2nd Inventory (1)

Constraints/Needs Air Quality – an increasing problem/law requirements Little capacity in institutions to manage AQ issues Lack of information for decision making Scarcity of resources

National Environmental Agenda

National strategy on climate change

National Plan “Let´s Clean the Air” (NAQS)

Integrated National Inventory

Planning for the 2nd Inventory (2)

• Multipurpose effort• Sustainability

How are we doing the 2000 inventory?

Mixed team: ministries staff + supporting consultants AD

Learning by doing:

• Training of experts that after developed sectoral/local inventories

Activity Data improvement: Field work

Capacity Needs Self assessment

Integrated with Air Pollutants Inventory

The 2000 Inventory: improvements (1)

• Capacity improved in the sectors ( 5 consultant in sectoral institutions)

• Important side products:

• Sectoral data bases updated and improved

• Methodology for interpreting satelite images for LUCF

• Defforestation Map

• Preliminary design system

• Critical Factor: Activity Data and DB

The 2000 Inventory: results (1)

• Transport• LUCF

• Amazonia: 45 satellite images of 2000

• Scale of interpretation 1: 100 000

Current efforts

• Legal instruments to support the integrated national inventory system• Land use monitoring system • Cross sectoral data base system • QA/QC tools• Automatic feeding / reporting• Archiving and documentation system

Plans for the future

System proposal

Lessons learned Still much work to do:

• Tool for decision making /multipurpose

• Legal Issues for data reporting and information flow

• Roles and Budget

• Law enforcement and Institutional capacity building

Local problems with a global thinking:

• Efficient use of resources (AQ, INV, CDM)

• Long term planning

• Advantages of mechanisms for emissions mitigation
