Agricultural Emission Inventory Data Reporting Requirements
This presentation discusses the data requirements for national emission inventories in the agricultural sector, covering greenhouse gas inventories, air pollutant inventories, National Inventory Reports, Large Combustion Plant Directive, National Emission Ceilings Directive, livestock emissions, and more. The data reported includes greenhouse gases like CO2, CH4, N2O, pollutants such as NOx, SO2, NMVOC, NH3, particulate matter, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants, with specific deadlines and reporting guidelines outlined for various inventory categories.

Agricultural Activity Data Requirements for National Emission Inventories Dr. Bernard Hyde, EPA Climate Change and Environmental Research Programme Agricultural Statistics Liaison Group Thursday 18thNovember 2010 CSO, Ardee Road, Rathmines, Dublin 6
National Emission Inventories Greenhouse Gas Inventories UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol EU Monitoring Mechanism Decision (280/2004/EC) Air Pollutant Inventories UNECE Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) and its 8 Protocols National Emission Ceilings Directive (2001/81/EC) Large Combustion Plant Directive (2001/80/EC)
What do we report? Greenhouse Gas Inventories Inventories on CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 annually (15thJan to EU and 15thApril UNFCCC) National Inventory Report (UNFCCC 15thApril) Air Pollutant Inventories (15thFebruary annually CLRTAP) Main pollutants; NOx, SO2, NMVOC, NH3and CO Particulate matter; TSP, PM10and PM2.5 Heavy metals; Pb, Cd, Hg (priority) As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Se and Zn (additional) Persistent Organic Pollutants; Dioxins (PCDD/PCDF), PAHs, HCB (mandatory) PCBs (voluntary) National data gridded every 5thyear (EMEP 50km x 50km) Informative Inventory Report (15thMarch annually)
What do we report? (contd) Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD) Inventories on NOx, SO2 and Dust annually (30thSept) National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD) NOx, SO2, NMVOC and NH3annually (31stDec) National Emission Projections Future emission trends
