Emissions by sources and removals by sinks

CO2 removals review of key data points

II. Inventories of anthropogenic emissions and removals

Removals of carbon dioxide were also calculated.

12 For the purpose of this technical guidance, net emissions or removals refers to total CO2 emissions minus CO2 removals.

Debits where emissions are larger than removals on a unit of land.

Credits where removals are larger than emissions on a unit of land.

Adjustment methods based on correlation of emissions removals between categories or gases

Only net CO2 emissions removals are reported in sectoral report table 5.

The SBSTA requested the secretariat, in communicating estimates of Parties' total national emissions and removals, to state clearly that presentations of national totals without emissions and removals from the LULUCF sector exclude emissions and removals associated with carbon stock changes and other emission sources covered in the LULUCF sector.

Adjustment methods based on correlation of emissions removals between source categories or gases

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector.

Inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases

Inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector.

Correlation of emissions or removals between categories or gases within an inventory could in some cases be used to estimate emissions or removals of a specific gas or from a specific category.

(c) estimate of total effects of policies and measures on GHG emissions and removals

Correlation of emissions or removals between source categories or gases within an inventory could in some cases be used to estimate emissions or removals of a specific gas or from a specific source category.

The driver shall be adequately correlated with the emissions or removals concerned The significance of the relationship between the driver used and the emissions or removals calculated needs to be demonstrated, taking into account national circumstances.

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector (see table 2).

emissions estimates of CO2, CH4 and N2O, and removals of CO2 (by major source sink category)

In addition, national communications should provide the projected values of these removals and emissions in the year 2000, as well as the estimated effect of measures on emissions of each of these gases and removals of CO2 in the year 2000.

These are top down ratios between the Annex I Party's emissions or removals estimate and aggregate activity data.

Currently, emission removal factors and activity data needed to estimate emissions and removals are insufficient in certain categories.

Thirty six Parties (30 per cent) showed that removals of CO2 by sinks in LUCF exceeded total CO2 emissions.

Projecting national emissions and removals of greenhouse gases and comparison of respective contributions to climate change of different gases

Total greenhouse gas emissions and removals were calculated generally by the methods explained in the IPCC OECD Draft Guidelines.

See table 2 1 contains Japan apos s fiscal 1990 greenhouse gas emissions and removals inventory on full communication.

Annex I Parties should fill in all the cells calling for emissions or removals estimates, activity data, or emission factors.

The emissions or removals need to be strongly correlated with other well known and more readily available indicative data (drivers).

projections (with effects of measures) for emissions of CO2, CH4 and N2O, and removals of CO2, in the year 2000

In calculating the baseline net greenhouse gas removals by sinks and or actual net greenhouse gas removals by sinks, project participants may choose not to account for one or more carbon pools, and or emissions of the greenhouse gases measured in CO2 equivalents, while avoiding double counting.

Roughly half of the reporting Parties also identified measures to limit emissions and enhance removals by sinks in the LUCF sector.
