EvolutionEvolution Guidelines have evolved
from 1996 to 2006 Development of Good
Practice Guidance (GPG) was a major step forward
Complete, consistent, comparable, transparent, and accurate inventories taking account of available resources
Major change was from 1996 LUCF to GPG LULUCF
Currently, non-Annex I Parties
Should use 1996GLs Encouraged to use
GPGs
2006 IPCC Guidelines 2006 IPCC Guidelines The same basic methodological approaches are used as those in the
Revised 1996 Guidelines, GPG 2000 and GPG LULUCF. The methods of earlier guidelines are maintained with improvements.
Similar resources can be used. Experiences with use of earlier guidelines can be utilized.
GPGs are integrated. More and improved/updated default data are provided. Improved guidance is provided.
Wider coverage of gases Additional guidance for more source categories Improved consistency with regard to indirect emissions of CO2 and N2O All estimates are now of actual annual emissions (“potential” emissions not
needed) Categories simplified and clarified in some areas

• Good Practice inventories are defined as “those that contain neither over- nor under-estimates so far as can be judged, and in which uncertainties are reduced as far as is practical”
• GPG retains consistency with Revised 1996 Guidelines and is updated and expanded in the 2006 Guidelines
– Approaches to Data Collection
Gases and CategoriesGases and Categories
Wider coverage of gases Gases for which GWP values are available in the IPCC-TAR
• CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6
• NF3, SF5CF3, Halogenated Ethers, etc.
Gases for which GWP values are not available in the IPCC-TAR• C7F16, C4F6, c-C4F8O, etc.
Other gases (Precursors)• 2006 Guidelines contain links to information on methods used under other
agreements and conventions

Direct & Indirect Emissions: CODirect & Indirect Emissions: CO22 and N and N22OO
Consistency is improved in 2006 Guidelines with regard to:CO2 resulting from emissions of other gases
• 2006GLs estimate carbon emissions in terms of the species which are emitted
• CO2 from atmospheric oxidation of non-CO2 species can be estimated additionally, if necessary
Treatment of nitrogen (N) deposition• Formerly only agricultural sources were covered• 2006GLs cover all significant sources of N deposition, including
agriculture, industrial and combustion sources
Direct & Indirect Emissions: CODirect & Indirect Emissions: CO22 and N and N22OO
2006 Guidelines
“CO2 Emissions”
2006 Guidelines “CO2 Emissions” do not include
this automatically
2006 Guidelines includes ALL NH3 & NOx Emissions
2006 Guidelines give methods to
calculate this
Estimation of Actual Annual EmissionsEstimation of Actual Annual Emissions In the 1996 Guidelines and Good Practice Guidance for a few
sources, the simplest methodology estimates a “potential emission” rather than the actual annual emission.
– “Potential emission” assumes all the emissions from an activity occur in the current year, ignoring the fact they will occur over many years (e.g. methane emissions from waste in landfills occurs over decades as the decay processes take place).
In the 2006 Guidelines, simple default methods estimate emissions when they occur, thus removing the need for potential emissions.
The removal of potential emission estimates allows the emission reductions of abatement techniques to be properly estimated and ensures that the Tier 1 methods are compatible with higher tier methods. The areas where this occurred are:
– Emissions of fluorinated compounds (IPPU Sector) – Emissions of methane from landfills (Waste Sector)
