consumption and GHG emissions.
1.2. Methodological principles of the inventory
The methodological principles of an inventory are the following:
• Emissions are assigned to energy consumers;
• Inventories must be addible: For example, if all localities of the governorate make their inventory,
the sum of inventories equals the governorate inventory; and
• A recent reference year: 2015, to describe a territory evolving rapidly.
*BEI - SECAP Team: Bruno Rebelle, Dr Mohsen Aboulnaga, Emilie Essono and Sara Ali.
Calculation method
The BEI is a calculation, not a measure. In order to get a complete consumption and emissions inventory, we
used several statistical data from reliable sources (electricity distribution, building surface, energy bills for
public buildings, etc.) on which calculation hypothesis were applied when necessary (energy costs, unitary
consumption of buildings, etc.) to obtain energy consumptions (all sectors) and non-energetic emissions
(waste, water, agriculture).

This simplified calculation approach is likely to be tainted by various uncertainties:
• Structural and activity data: low uncertainty
• Hypothesis: medium to high uncertainty
• Emission factors: low to medium uncertainty
Considered scope
Developing this BEI, we judged necessary to include the following sectors, but could not find sufficient
hypothesis or structural data on stroke out sub topics.
