Interim Report, No 3, 19 September 2011 – 18 March 2012
In addition the modalities of the 2012 MMD exercise were agreed upon: steps to take in the
framework of the RENA WG 2 CC Activity 2.2. MMD in 2012.
1. RENA Countries to further familiarise themselves with CRF Reporter tool;
2. Prepare database for Combustion fuels sector in a harmonised way;
3. Identify strengths and weaknesses in GHG inventory reporting (focus Sector 1A:
combustion fuels);
4. Identify gap filling needs and translate into concrete project proposals for further
consideration.
• Following the RENA Climate Change Annual meeting a ToR was prepared for national
experts to start developing better knowledge and capacity as to gradually improve/increase
the technical and institutional ability of the RENA countries to prepare submissions of
National Inventory Reports in the framework of the MMD. As such, the exercise should be
seen as a first step that should lead to the following concrete results:
1. Result 1: Identified gaps (data quality and availability with focus on institutional and legal
aspects)
2. Result 2: Gap filling requirements to establish a sound framework for data flow
3. Result 3: Recommendations to translate the above into potential national or regional IPA
project fiches to address identified gaps
It is expected that the above exercise’s focus (until summer 2012) should concentrate more on
improving the process of the preparation of sound inventories towards a full and harmonised
combustion fuel sector GHG inventory using appropriate guidelines and tools. The focus will be
on the combustion fuel sector 1A. In addition to the above the exercise will also include as a result:
4. Result 4: Draft list of activities of Annex 1 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/20/EC) in
the respective RENA countries.
The MMD kick-of workshop was held in Zagreb, Croatia (10 February 2012).
For more details please see the enclosed workshop report (Annex 12).
Planned activities for the next interim reporting period
• For each RENA country the project team (key experts and national experts) delivery of the
following:
1. Description of the national system and data flow (February 2012).
2. Delivery of energy balances and first data filled in for sector Combustion Fuels into CRF
(April 2012);
3. Delivery of second MMD meeting, Zagreb, Croatia (14 June 2012) to discuss progress;
4. Final draft CRF combustion fuel sector (July 2012)l
5. Workshop preparations and presentations (13 – 14 September 2012);
6. List of installations/activities that fall in the scope of ETS from February to September
2012.
Activity 2.3 EU-ETS
Implemented activities during the third interim reporting period
• Delivery of regional workshop on Monitoring, Reporting and Verification within the EU
ETS. The workshop was organised in Zagreb, Croatia (26 – 27 September 2011).
