1. Introduction

The ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) is obliged to report the Dutch emission data for greenhouse gases to the EU (Euro-pean Union’s Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism and the UNFCCC (United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change). The main part of the reporting of emission data is done in the Common Reporting Format (CRF). This format consists of a uniformed spreadsheet. In addition to the CRF a National Inventory Report is published (NIR) by the RIVM in which the data from the CRF (including the recalculations) are elucidated and trends in emissions are explained. A detailed description of and the reasons for the recalculations and improvements can be found in section 10 of the NIR.

This report describes the activities in the last quarter of 2002 and the first two quar-ters of 2003 to complete the CRF files for the year 1990 to 2001. The report is also a description of the procedure, which The Netherlands use to translate the emission data from the National Inventory system to the CRF files. The Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) performed this work at the department of Environment, Energy and Process Innovation (TNO-MEP) in close co-operation with the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).

2. Available data

All Dutch emission data (for air pollutants and pollutants to water and soil) are stored on a yearly basis in a central database of the emission registration at TNO-MEP. These data are the official and formal basis for all the national emission re-porting by, or on behalf of, the Ministry of VROM. The emission registration sys-tem (ER database) has evolved over the past twenty years and is not yet fully equipped to fulfill all the data demands of the CRF. This chapter will point out: − which data could be retrieved directly from the ER database; − which data from other sources were used to fill the CRF files, and; − which data from the ER database (former year(s)) were improved/changed to

be included in the CRF.

2.1 ER database

In the CRF not only the emission data for the direct greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 ) are required but also the emissions of the so-called precursor gases (NOx, CO, NMVOC and SO2 ). The national emission data for all these gases are stored in the ER database. The ER database is filled on a yearly basis with data for the years t-1 and t-2. Fur-thermore (revised) data for the years t-3, 1995 and 1990 are stored in the database. All t-1 data are preliminary estimates and the t-2 figures are the final figures for that year. The data for the former years can change due to back casting of improved method-ologies or improved data for these years (recalculations). In the past recalculated data were only stored for the years 1990, 1995 and t-3 in the ER database. The re-maining recalculated years were stored in the CRF files. As from this year ar-rangements have been made to include the emission data (required for the CRF) for the years 1996 to 1998 in the ER database. Summarizing: the ER database for the 2002 inventory, which was used for the 2003 submission of the CRF, contained emission data the years 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 (t-3), 2000 (t-2, final figures) and 2001 (t-1, preliminary data).

In the ER database the emission data are stored linked to a so-called RAPCODE. This code represents a typical emission source (for instance emissions from refiner-ies). Furthermore each emission figure is linked to an AARD code, representing the environmental compartment to which the emission should be grouped (air, water, soil). For some of the emission sources the AARD code is used to indicate whether or not (and where) the emission from that source should be included in the IPCCC reporting. For each of the greenhouse and precursor gases this link between RAPCODE and AARD is defined resulting in a correspondence table which links each combination of RAPCODE, AARD and compound to the appropriate CRF

(sub)sector table (IPCC sub code). In table 1 the layout of the correspondence table is given. In total the table consists of over 2200 records.

As stated earlier, the ER system and thus the RAPCODES evolved from the past. In former years it became clear that for transparency and uniformity reasons a rear-rangement and or renaming of the RAPCODES became unavoidable. All emission figures for the years 1990, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 were included in the ER database for the year 2002 using the new set of RAPCODES. As a con-sequence of this action a consistent allocation of the emission and available activity data was established in the CRF for these years.

TNO in co-operation with the RIVM defined and refined the correspondence table between RAPCODE, AARD and Compound and IPCC (sub) sector before filling the CRF.

2.2 Additional data sources

The current ER database does not include all data necessary to fill in the CRF. For this reason additional data sources were used to complete the CRF files. This para-graph describes what data were not available in the ER database and thus had to be retrieved from other sources. The data from other sources are available at the Task-forces as background data for the standard emission calculation. They are not yet part of the standard delivery to the ER database.

The CD-ROM attached to this document contains all files and E-Mail messages which document the data delivery to TNO. The CD also includes the QA/QC files and all (draft & work) versions of the CRF.

2.2.1 Energy related data

Activity data for the production of gas and oil , oil refining and gas distribution were derived from sector information (NOGEPA, Gastec) and energy statistics (CBS) provided by the Taskforce ENINA (RIVM and CBS member).

Data for the reference approach and feedstock tables were provided by the CBS from the energy statistics and were copied in the CRF files (for the years 1990, 1995-2001).

An error was detected in the calculation of the Reference Approach (RA). This er-ror was removed. Furthermore the RA for1999 to 2001 was recalculated based on the pré 1999 definition of non energy use of fuels in the iron and steel production.

2.2.2 Industrial processes

As of now the ER database includes detailed data on the level of individual species of the F-gases, which are provided by the RIVM for the CRF. In 2002 these data were recalculated and included in the ER database for the ER inventory and thus in the CRF. Detailed data related to the F-gases (emission and activity data) for the years 1991 to 1994 and 1996 to 1998 were retrieved directly from the Taskforce ENINA (RIVM member) and included in the CRF (sectoral tables 2(II) and 2(II)C,E). For the years 1990-2001 the recalculated Taskforce data on the emission of N2O from the production of nitric acid were included in the CRF (sectoral table 2(I).A-G).

As concluded in the previous submission only few activity data for industrial proc-esses are available in the appropriate format in the ER database. The reason for this is confidentiality of the production data from the CBS (especially for those indus-trial sectors that include only few individual firms). Furthermore, at the CBS the physical activity data are in most cases not available (no physical production data but only economical data such as market value of production). Therefore additional activity data were retrieved from public publications related to industrial activities (other than CBS sources, including environmental reports from individual companies). For the steel and aluminium production the activity data were retrieved from specific sector data (environmental reports from individual companies) by the Taskforce ENINA (RIVM member) and were included in the CRF.

2.2.3 Other sectors

Agriculture In former submissions for the years 1990 and 1995 an incorrect population size for poultry was used. In this submission this fault was corrected by the Taskforce Ag-riculture (RIVM member). For the years 1990-2001 new data on the emissions of histosols due to cultivation is now included in the background of agricultural soils.

Land use change and forestry (LUCF) This year we included activity data on the liming of agricultural soils in the CRF (sectoral table 5D) for the years 1990-2000. The data were provided by the Task-force Agriculture (RIVM member).The associated emissions have not yet been quantified.

Waste Additional information and data (for clarification of emission data) were included in the CRF for the years 1990-2001. These data were supplied by the Taskforce Waste (Waste Management council (AOO) member) from the decomposition model for landfilled wastes. New information on activity data and related emissions (CH4 and N2O) from wastewater handling has been included in the CRF (sectoral table 6B) for the years 1990-2000 was provided by the Taskforce MEWAT (CBS member).

Other sectors New detailed activity and emissions data on the residential combustion of biomass for the years 1990-2001 was included in the CRF (sectoral table 1A4). This new detailed data were retrieved directly from the Taskforce WESP (TNO member). Due to the insertion of this new detailed information also changed in the emission data in the sectoral tables 1A5.

2.3 Data changes for earlier inventory years (1991-1994 and 1996-1998)

The 2002 ER database does not include data for the years 1991-1994. Recalcula-tions of the emissions in these years were provided by the Taskforces ENINA, Transport & Traffic, MEWAT and WESP and were included directly in the CRF without altering the ER database for those years.

Although not part of the 2002 inventory, the process emissions from industry for the years 1996-1998 were included in the ER database. The Taskforce ENINA con-verted the emissions to the new RAPCODE set and the data were included in the ER database. In the previous inventory round the same action was undertaken for the combustion emission. As from now the ER database holds all industrial and

TNO-report

TNO-MEP − R 2003/250 8 of 13

combustion emissions in the newest RAPCODE set and they were allocated to the CRF categories using the newest correspondence table. In doing so we created a consistent allocation of the emissions for the years 1990 and 1995 to 2001.

Recalculated data on N2O emissions from nitric acid production were included in the sectoral table 2(I).A-G for the years 1991-1994, and 1996-1998, resulting in other industrial total emissions for these years

Additional data on the gas distribution network were derived from sector informa-tion (Gastec) and provided by the Taskforce ENINA (RIVM member).

Recalculated emissions and activity data for the transport sector for the years 1991-1994 and 1996-1998 were delivered by the Taskforce Traffic and Transport and included in the CRF. These data are based on the emission calculation model which also generated the 1990, 1995 and 1999 to 2001 data for the 2003 ER data-base (CBS).

Detailed (recalculated) data related to the F-gases (emission and activity data) for the years 1991-1994 and 1996-1998 were retrieved directly from the Taskforce ENINA (RIVM member) and included in the CRF.

For the years 1991-1994 the fuel split for the sub sector residential fuel combus-tion (sectoral table 1.A(a)) was included in the CRF. The fuel split was based on the energy statistics (CBS) and data on biomass combustion in residential wood stoves as delivered to the database by the Taskforce WESP. The split of the ac-companying emissions was based on the emission factors used in the other years.

During the analysis of fuel data in the Commercial/Institutional sector by TNO, biomass was identified which was formerly reported as gaseous fuel. The new data were included in the CRF for the years 1991-1994, 1996 and 1997 (sectoral table 1.A(a)).

New additional explanatory data on the total of Dutch animal waste management systems were included in the CRF for the years 1991-1994 (sectoral table 4B, data by Taskforce Agriculture (RIVM member).

3. Import of data in CRF and control procedures

3.1 Initial import of data in CRF

TNO retrieved all available data from the ER database using the correspondence table between RAPCODES and IPCC category. This action yielded a table with emissions per CRF category without the fuel split as requested in Table 1.A(a and b). Based on the fuel data in the ER database the category totals were allocated to solid, liquid, gaseous, biomass or other fuels. These data and the additional data as mentioned in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 were copied manually into the CRF files for all years. The data in the CRF files from the previous submission were in fact updated (overwritten).

All data for the 2003 submission of the Netherlands have been entered in the new-est version of the CRF software.

Where necessary the input of data was documented in the documentation boxes at the end of the tables (especially when the definition or allocation was different from the IPCCC guidelines). The explanation of the IE codes (and the source categories where the data were in-cluded) was also included in the documentation boxes throughout the CRF files for all years. In addition emission cells containing a zero (0) in the sectoral report ta-bles were checked for replacement by one of the appropriate notation key (IE, NE, NO, C, NA).

3.2 Control procedures

We note that the source list in the ER database does not correspond one to one with the source categories in the CRF. Furthermore the quality of the energy data from individual firms from 1997 onwards is poor due to the introduction of a new sys-tem for reporting these data to the database. Therefore after allocation of the ER data to the CRF (using the correspondence table between RAPCODE-AARD to IPCC sector) extensive checks were performed, in particular in the fuel combustion tables. These control activities consisted of: − Completeness of data; − Comparison of national totals with earlier published data (Environmental − Balance, Emission Monitor); − Check of the emission trends in the sectoral background tables; − Check of implied emission factors (value and trend); − Check of activity data (value and trend); − Comparison of sectoral data with reference approach.

TNO-report

TNO-MEP − R 2003/250 10 of 13

To facilitate these checks the control spreadsheets used for the previous submission were improved and extended (see Appendix 1 and 2).

Questions or problems arising from the checks were answered and or solved on the basis of detailed analysis of the background data including communication with the persons (from the Taskforces) responsible for the data. Based on the findings the original allocation of the data in the CRF was altered (e.g. by moving inconsistent CO2 – fuel data to “other fuel”) and or additional data were included. The input procedures are documented in detail in Appendix 1.

The findings of the control procedures were noted in cells of the control spread-sheets and in a QA/QC document in Dutch (Appendix 3). This information was also used for the textual explanations of the data in the NIR.

The control findings and the explanations of the changes in the data compared to the previous submission were input for the revision of the “Recalculation tables” (CRF Table 8(a) and 8(b)). They were updated for all years. The changes in data had also implications for the completeness of the CRF, which are reported in Table 9 of the CRF files. The emission trends over the period 1990-2001 were docu-mented only in the CRF file for the year 2001 in Table 10 “Emission Trends” (in other files it is redundant).

After completion of the input and control procedures the CRF files were send to the RIVM, including all control spreadsheets and tables and figures, derived from the CRF files, which were included in the NIR.

4. Experiences and possible future improvements

This chapter deals with the most important experiences/problems encountered dur-ing the completion of the CRF files. The emphasis lies on the aspects related to the Dutch emission inventory and the associated data handling and storage. The ex-perience related to allocation problems and emission trends is included in the NIR.

The Dutch emission inventory is not yet fully equipped to fulfill all data demands of the CRF. One of the major problems is the poor quality of the fuel type data from individual firms. The link between fuel data and emission is often not known or fuel data are not available. One of the consequences is that the use of biomass in combustion is not always identifiable. In addition, the use of fuels for energy or chemical feed stocks is also quite often unclear. It is therefore that sometimes com-bustion emissions are registered as process emissions. Work is in progress to im-prove the quality of these data but it will take some years to bring them up to stan-dard.

Furthermore a point of concern is the absence of a structural inventory of the re-quired activity data for non-combustion sources. It would be advisable to incorpo-rate these activities in the work plan for the Emission Registration. Problem in this is the fact that in the Netherlands the inventory is at this moment more aimed at emissions per industrial sector rather than focused on specific industrial processes as required in the CRF. A further problem is the confidential nature of some activ-ity data. It is advisable to investigate the willingness of the relevant sector to make the required activity data available in a structural manner on a yearly basis.

Attempts were made to improve the data from the waste sector, but without suc-cess. The monitoring of all waste related data is since 2003 centralized in the Waste Consulting Body (AOO). This organization will also participate in the ER process. Efforts will be made to recalculate the total time series for waste related emissions for the next submission.

The ER database does not yet cover the total period from 1990-2001. Recalculated data are thus not available in the ER database for the total period; only for the 2001 inventory years. At present, the CRF files are the only dataset were recalculated na-tional data are stored in a structural manner. However, although some Taskforces recalculate the full time period back to 1990, only data for the years 1990, 1995 to 2001 are stored in the database.

Table 5A was filled for 1990 to 2001. The calculation of these data is not yet in-corporated in the Dutch Emission Inventory.

The definition of the non energy use of fuels in the iron and steel industry in the Dutch energy statistics from 1999 onwards is not in compliance with the CRF re-

TNO-report

TNO-MEP − R 2003/250 12 of 13

quirements. Therefore it will be necessary to calculate the correct information from background data. The Netherlands intend to start up a project together with the main industrial source categories in order to improve CO2 emission figures based on a carbon balance for each source. This project should also yield improved fig-ures for the feedstock emissions a non energy use of fuels.

In the process of preparing the final ER database trend checks will be performed as from this years on the level of the IPCC table 7 (and sub sectors of 1A). We envis-age a further improvement of the QA/QC process at an earlier stage in the finaliza-tion of the data. Corrections in the data during the compilation of the CRF will then be avoided.

In May 2003 the UNFCC secretariat drafted a report with initial checks on the Dutch submission of the CRF files (see appendix 4). In response to this response the CRF files were resubmitted to the secretariat on the 28th of May 2003. The cor-rections made to the initial submission are elaborated in appendix 4. The changes in the CRF files were made after the publication of the NIR. Although the changes did not affect the national emissions we indicate that the value given in the NIR in Annex 7, table A.7.2. for the potential emissions of PFCs in 1995 is not correct. The correct figure should be “C” because the correct value is confidential.

Appendix 1 Detailed documentation of input procedures

1) General In the 2003 submission further actions were undertaken to complete the CRF data for the total time series 1990-2001. The data for the year 2001 are preliminary data and the 2000 data are now finalised (the reason why the 2000 data from this submission differ from the previous sub-mission).

2) Remarks per CRF table

Table 1.A.(a) Fuel data were extracted from the ER database. Using the correspondence table be-tween RAPCODE and IPCC the emission and activity data from the ER database were allocated in the CRF according to the latest fomat. Based on the fuels used, the allocation was further specified using the following rules: – Emissions from specific industrial processes which were not as such identifi-

able in the ER database were allocated under OTHER (f uel category); – Emissions without fuel data were allocated under Other Fuels; – Emissions from the combustion of organic matter, wood and biogas were allo-

cated under Biomass of the applicable category; – Emissions from blast furnace and coke oven gas were allocated under Solid

Fuels; – Emissions from refinery gas and LPG were allocated under Liquid Fuels; – The implied emission factors for CO2 were checked. In those cases where the

IEF differed significantly from the expected level the emissions for all compo-nents and the corresponding fuel data were moved to Other Fuels.

TNO-report

TNO-MEP − R 2003/250 2 of 7

Appendix 1

The documentation boxes were filled according to the following example:

Documentation Box:IE: included in jet keroseneThe energy consumption and related emmissions for Coke Oven Gas and Blast furnace gas are allocated under solid fuels.Due to the IEF's for CO2 for these gasses, resp. 44 and 200 kg/GJ the IEF will deviate from that for coal or cokes.

The energy consumption and related emmissions for Refinery gas are allocated under liquid fuels.

All CO2, N2O and CH4 emissions with no or incomplete energy data were allocated under other fuels (including their energy data).

This is not done for the emissions from BIOMASS, the emissions are allocated under Biomass. The corresponding incomplete biomass energy data are given in the next lines:

927 TJ in 1A2f203 TJ in 1A2e622 TJ in 1A2d68 TJ in 1A2c

1131 TJ in 1A1a

The absence of fuel data for some CO2 emissions is one of the causes for the dif-ference between the energy consumption according to the Reference Approach and the National Approach. Furthermore the National Approach uses (poor-quality or even lacking) fuel data from the annual environmental reporting of major indus-tries. Some of the combustion emissions for CO2 can for this reason not be identi-fied as such in the National Approach. Please note that the data for the years 1991 to 1994 (mainly in the categories 1.A.4 and 5) are not consistent with the other years because they still include the statisti-cal difference.

Table 1.A.(b) to Table 1.A(d) Based on information from the CBS these tables were filled with data based on the new energy statistics without statistical differences. For the years 1991 to 1994 this was not possible, these four years differ therefore methodological from the other submitted years.

Under table 1.A.(b) explanatory information was placed concerning the fuel types:

3) jet-fuel,gasoline basis; aviation gasoline; motor gasoline4) petroleum5) Oil aromates; other light oils; other oil products6) all coal, lignite/browncoal7) coal derivatives

Appendix 1

For the years 1998 to 2001 the following documentation box was placed under 1.A(c): Documentation Box:

The energy consumption in the national approach (NA) is based on the data from the national inventory.These fuel data are not complete due to:1) Not all CO2 emissions (from combustion) submitted by industry are accompanied by fuel data in the inventory;

2) In industry reports some of the CO2 emissions from combustion are allocated as process emissions and thus the corresponding fuel data are not incorporated in the totals for the fuel data.

3) Industries may calculate and report actual CO2 emissions from energy used as chemical feedstock using different overall CO2 emission factors for the amount of energy carriers converted into products than used in the RA for estimating non-reported feedstock emissions.

4) Industry firms report more heavy fuels used as chemical feedstock than the energy statistics used in the RA.

The extent of these causes may differ from year to year, which then also causes the fluctuationsin the difference between RA and NA.

In addition, the RA figures are calculated using preliminary values for the carbon content of crude oil and NGL.For more information see the National Inventory Report.

For the other years the following documentation box was placed under 1.A(c):

Documentation Box:The RA figures are calculated using preliminary values for the carbon content of crude oil and NGL.For more information see the National Inventory Report.The energy data for the national approach are not yet (complete) available in the national inventory database. In due course the national database wil be updated with the lacking energy data

In Table 1.A.(d) in the cells for Coal/lignite and Coke in 1999, 2000 and 2001 a reference to the documentation box (see below) was placed related to changes if the definition of energetic and non- energetic use of these fuels.

Documentation box: A fraction of energy carriers is stored in such products as plastics or asphalt. The non-stored fractionof the carbon in the energy carrier or product is oxidized, resulting in carbon dioxide emissions, either during the use of the energy carriers in the industrial production (e.g. fertilizer production), or during the use of the products (e.g. solvents, lubricants), or in both (e.g. monomers). To report associated emissions use the above table, filling an extra "Additional information" table, as shown below.Definition of non energy use for coal and cokes is changed since 1999.

Table 2(I).A-G In 2001 it was concluded that most activity data (physical production) for industrial processes is neither available in the national statistics nor in the ER database. The reason for this lies in the confidentiality obligations of the CBS. Whenever only one or a few companies are operating in the Netherlands the production data are not to be publicised by the CBS. Because this is often the case in the Netherlands it is not possible to link emission figures to the appropriate activity data. Therefore in the emission columns only the notation keys (IE, NE) were used and the emissions were aggregated to the categories “other”. Moreover the notation key (C) was in-serted on the appropriate activity data rows. An exception could be made for the cement industry where the unique link be-tween the emissions in the ER database and external (from RIVM) activity data could be established. Also for the steel and aluminium production activity data were delivered by the RIVM and for the glass industry it was possible to present the CO2 emissions for the years 1990, 1995-2001. On basis of new information a new trend on the emission of N2O due to nitric acid production is made for the years 1990-2001. Moreover the emissions of N2O from carpolactam and acronitril production are included in the group ‘Other’ because of confidentiality and is roughly estimated in the range of 3 - 4 Gg per year.

Table 2(II), Table 2(II).C,E, Table2(II).F These tables were filled with the recalculated emission data for the years 1990-2001. Emission figures are available; activity data are not available, partly due to confidentiality reasons. Documentation box:

IE Other: Included in Table 2(II).Fs1, industrial refrigeration

C: Confidential business information because only one or two companies account for the emission. Detailed information is only available for in-country review teams. Therefore in the emission columns and activity data rows the notation key (C) was inserted. A favourable exception to this is the activity level of the aluminium pro-duction, which is presented for the years 1990-2001. Please note that the Netherlands introduced a column “Unspecified” for HFCs and PFCs in and a row “Filled in new product” in Table 2(II). As a result of the lack on import or export data the row on filled in new products is introduced (see also Ta-ble 2(II).Fs1 en Fs2).

Table 3, Table 3.A-D Data, including available activity data, were extracted from the ER database. No activity data can be generated for the emissions of CO2 and NMVOC, allocated in this category.

Table 4 to Table 4.D New data on the total of Dutch animal waste management systems, calculated by RIVM, were included in the CRF for the years 1991-1994. In the tables 4.A and 4.B(a) only the population size column was filled in, because the other data are not available.

Documentation box: The Dutch inventory system calculates the total nitrogen excretion by all animal husbandry on a annual bases. Table 4.B only contains the excreted nitrogen which is collected for landspreading. The remaining excreted nitrogen is deposited in the meadow and reported in Table 4.D. In both cases the ammonia emissions are subtracted before the N2O emissions are calculated. Because of the very high share of liquid manure in the Netherlands we assume an emission factor of 0,001 kg N2O-N/kg N for manure management. For nitrogen excreted in the meadow we assume an emission factor of 0,01 kg N2O-N/kg N in faeces and an emission factor of 0,02 kg N2O-N/kg N in urin.

For the years 1990-2001 new data on the emissions of histosols due to cultivation is included in the background of agricultural soils. Only part of the direct soil emissions is reported in Table 4.D.

Table 4.E and Table 4.F Not applicable for the Netherlands thus notation keys were introduced.

Table 5 and 5.A to 5.D New activity data on the liming of agricultural soils is included in the CRF (sec-toral table 5D) for the years 1990-2000). The cells, which are not applicable for the Netherlands, were kept empty.

Table 6, Table 6.A,C and Table 6.B Emissions were extracted from the ER database. The RIVM and CBS Statline sup-plied activity data. Some of the information asked for in the CRF was not available en those cells were kept blank. Additional information and data (for clarification of emission data in Table 6.A.C) were included for the years 1990-2001. These data were supplied by the AOO (van den Berge) from their decomposition model for land filled wastes. Note that the waste generation rate (kg/capita/day) concerns all the generated waste, not only the land filled waste. New information on activity data and emissions (CH4 and N2O) from wastewater handling has been included in the CRF (sectoral table 6B) for the years 1990-2000.

Documentation box: Industrial waste water (NE): In the Netherlands no estimates are available for those industries which have their own wastwater treatment plants and emit directly in the surface water. The major part of the Dutch industry emit in the sewer system which is connected to municipal waste water treatment plants. These emissions are included in the category: All, domestic waste water + sludge.

CH4 waste water (IE): included in sludge colum

N2O from human sewage (NE): Because more than 95 % of the Dutch households are connected to a waste water treatment plant the emissions from those household which are not connected are not estimated.

Documentation box:The category Other gives a total emission of 4,71 Gg N2O. This is the so-called enhanced background emission.B179 In fact it is the difference between the background emission around 1900 and the actual background emisison.The enhanced emission is caused by manure applications in the past and by lowering the groundwater table.IE included in Background agricultural soils.

Appendix 3 Control procedures

During the preparation of the CRF files several checks were performed to guaran-tee the best possible allocation and time consistency of the data. For this purpose special build spreadsheets were used. Whenever alterations in the CRF draft files were made by TNO these spreadsheets were used for checks. The external reviews (by the RIVM) proved to be very helpful and necessary to detect deficiencies and flaws in the draft CRF files. In the following paragraphs the content of the spread-sheets will be elaborated.

CRF-INPUT_2002_procedure.xls This spreadsheet chronological documents the data flow and implementation of changes in allocation from the data from the ER database to the final CRF files for the years 1990, 1995-2001. It also includes the original IEF’s and the allocation changes, which were made to realize orderly trends in IEF’s over the years For these years also the fuel split for the emissions from fuel combustion was addi-tional registered in the ER database, these data were also included in the file. This file also documents the allocation alterations, which were necessary to make the time series consistent.

Diff_prev_submis_2003.xls This spreadsheet documents the change in absolute figures and in terms of percent-ages between the emissions as reported in the current (2003) and previous submis-sion (2002). There where significant changes occurred these were documented in a remark related to the cell concerned. The detected major changes are also ex-plained in the NIR.

Trend checks Four spreadsheets were made in which the time series from 1990 to 2001 are given for emissions, activity data and where appropriate IEF’s. On the next pages exam-ples of parts of the four trend spreadsheets are given.

SUBJECT/OBJET: Draft status report for the 2003 greenhouse gas inventory

submission of Netherlands _____________________________________________________________________________ Dear Ms. Bersee, I have the pleasure of enclosing the results of the initial check of the latest greenhouse gas inventory submission of the Netherlands. These results are presented in two parts: the draft status report and the results of the data consistency check performed on the inventory. In accordance with the guidelines for the technical review of greenhouse gas inventories, the secretariat is providing this information to the Government of the Netherlands for your review and comment. With respect to the draft status report, comments on the content and on the correctness of the information contained therein are requested within three weeks following the receipt of this report. The draft report will be revised to take into account comments received within this time frame. In the event that the secretariat does not receive any comments from the Government of the Netherlands we will proceed with the finalization of the status report, which will be published on the UNFCCC web site. Additionally, should you wish to correct possible problems identified by the consistency check, please re-submit the CRF file in its entirety and provide a list of the specific sheets in which corrections have been made. Your cooperation on this matter will greatly facilitate data reprocessing and checking. In order to ensure inclusion in the synthesis and assessment report, the resubmitted CRF file must be received by the secretariat by 27 May 2003. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The development of alternative formats for these tables is awaiting the outcome of the ongoing work of the IPCC in developing good practice guidance for the land use, land-use change and forestry sector.

Note: This status report reflects the content of the inventory submission of the year 2003 as originally submitted by the Party.

a Base year refers to the year 1990, except for those Annex I Parties undergoing the process of transition to a market economy that are allowed to use a base year or a period of years other than 1990, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.6 of the Convention and decisions 9/CP.2 and 11/CP.4. Information on the base year in the status reports does not reflect or prejudge any decision that may be taken by Parties in relation to the use of 1995 as base year for HFCs, PFCs and SF6 in accordance with Article 3.8 of the Kyoto Protocol.

b This column indicates that reporting gaps (blank cells) have been identified in a given table of the CRF. This was due to limited use, or lack of, notation keys (NO, NE, NA, IE, C, 0).

a This column is only applicable for those Parties with economies in transition that use a base year other than 1990 according to decisions 9/CP.2 and 11/CP.4.

d This refers to table 7 of the CRF in the current reporting guidelines (FCCC/CP/1999/7).

c According to the UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories (FCCC/CP/1999/7), these tables should be filled in only by Parties that use the IPCC default methodology.

Please find enclosed the Dutch reaction to the findings of your checks. We marked the comments in red in your document.Based on your findings we corrected the flaws in the CRF files, of wich you find the v03 version attached to this E-mail.The changes in the CRF files are specified in the last Sheet of this file

Consistency Check Report 2003 - The Netherlands

General problems / inconsistenciesIn Table 5A the units in cells D31, E31, F31, D44 and F44 are not the same for all other years.CRF's

In Table 1.A.(b) the forumula in cell P 27 has been deleted.As stated under the table "FORMULA IN CELL P27 DISABLED !!!!!" Data included in P33. This was done because of the specific Dutch filling of table 1.A (d)

Comments on notation keys from PDF document:The use of notation keys was limited in several tables.To minimise workload we restricted the use of notation keys to the sectoral and summarizing tables for those sectors were filling the sectoral background table would not lead to additional information Based on the findings of the consistency check we altered the following items in the Dutch CRF:

Specific: all items mentioned in the sheet inconsistencies of this file

General: Units in table 5A were uniformed for the years 1991, 1992, 1993, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001Reallocation of the emission from cell L13 to cell L18 in Table2(II)s1 for the years 1993 to 2001
