Repository of BC information Initial development stage

The Black Carbon (BC) Information Repository Project aims to design and compile a comprehensive database of globally relevant black carbon information, with publicly accessible web interface features. It will offer valuable tools for viewing information, developing personal inventories, and assessing mitigation measures and their costs. Collaborating partners include IIASA, University of Illinois, and Clean Air Task Force. The project's timeline spans from 2011 to 2012, with key elements focusing on identifying BC sources, understanding emission characteristics, and exploring mitigation measures, with plans for future collaboration.

  1. Repository of BC informationInitial development stage Z. Klimont (IIASA), T. Bond (UOI), E. Baum (CATF) TFEIP meetingStockholm, May 2-3, 2011

  2. Repository of BC informationWhat, Who, When • Project goal • Design and compile a database of BC relevant (globally) information and develop a publicly accessible web interface to: • View the information, • Provide examples how to use it to develop own inventories, • Address projections with mitigation measures and their costs • Project partners • IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria • University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne, USA • Clean Air Task Force (CATF), Boston, USA • Timeline • 2011-2012; discussing how to secure longer-term maintenance/funding

  3. Repository of BC informationKey elements (1st year) • For key BC sources* compile a set of characteristics, including regional differences, including: • Key technical features influencing emissions, • Referenced emission rates, including co-emitted species (OC, total PM, CO, CH4, NMVOC, SO2, NOx, CO2), • Uncertainty assessment for the central EF values, • Role of transient operating conditions and temporal variability, • Relevance of superemitters; potential for malfunction and impacts • Regional variability in technology • For mitigation measures a set of additional parameters, including impact on co-emitted species, technical and cultural constraints in application, costs, assessment of the quality of the information * on-road and off-road diesel, residential combustion, open ag. fires

  4. Repository of BC informationKey elements (2nd year and beyond) • Extend the parameterization of the database with climate metrics that could be used to rank sources and measures according to their climate efficiency • Present the tool at meetings…publicize and receive feedback • Provided the tool is useful and used….identify partner for future collaboration to plan for further development and maintenance
