UK Experiences in Preparing Detailed vs. Simplified Inventory Reports

This document outlines the UK experiences in compiling Inventory Implementation Reports (IIR) as shared by Chris Dore of AEA Technology at the 5th Joint UNECE Task Force & EIONET Meeting. It contrasts the challenges of creating detailed IIRs, which involve extensive formatting and methodology documentation, against simpler IIRs that take significantly less time. Key discussion points include the purpose of the report, the necessity for detail in methodology, and suggested improvements, such as including methodology summary tables and hyperlinks for clarity and simplicity.

  1. An IIR-Experiences from the UK Chris Dore AEA Technology/NETCEN 5th Joint UNECE Task Force & EIONET Meeting 19-20th October 2004

  2. IntroductionAn IIR- UK Experiences 1. A “Detailed” IIR 2. A “Simpler” IIR 3. Discussion Points

  3. UK Inventory Report (including full methodology) 1. “Detailed” IIRAn IIR- UK Experiences • Annual Reports from the UK Inventory • GHG NIR

  4. 1. “Detailed” IIRAn NIR- UK Experiences • The UK GHG NIR Report: • Has four Executive Summaries • Ten Annexes • and is 364 pages • UK Inventory methodology is similarly large • So, compiling a detailed IIR is time consuming! • The “detailed” UN/ECE IIR takes several days of formatting etc. • Format is prescriptive • Is this level of detail required?

  5. 2. Simpler IIRAn IIR- UK Experiences Much much easier! • Proposals outlined by TFEI are helpful • Explanations of notation keys & “other” in templates • Fuel statistics in templates   • A “simple” report does typically takes less than two days  • Key source analysis to identify major sources ? • But no detail on methodologies • Lt.Col. Haddon OBE: • “You will continue to score low marks unless you show your working!”

  6. 3. Discussion PointsAn IIR- UK Experiences What is the purpose of this report? • To support data submission • Key source analysis only (consider required detail) or • To report methodology • Need for completeness (include Efs and activity data) 1. The guidelines should be taken as a minimum requirement • And countries should be encouraged to report more information

  7. 3. Discussion PointsAn IIR- UK Experiences 2. Suggest including methodology information … and how to keep it simple! • Propose a minimum of a “methodology summary table” with text: • by source and by pollutant • indicating simple information on activity data and EF’s • Could be in the report, or template • Important sources should be accompanied by text • Also text explaining temporal step changes 3. Can IIR include hyperlinks instead of text? 4. Log ideas for improvement.
