Total removals

12 For the purpose of this technical guidance, net emissions or removals refers to total CO2 emissions minus CO2 removals.

II. INVENTORIES OF ANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONS AND REMOVALS

4. Inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and removals

Belgium and Switzerland projected removals to remain stable up to 2020 and Sweden indicated that their removals could be decreasing up to 2000 and afterwards.

The SBSTA requested the secretariat, in communicating estimates of Parties' total national emissions and removals, to state clearly that presentations of national totals without emissions and removals from the LULUCF sector exclude emissions and removals associated with carbon stock changes and other emission sources covered in the LULUCF sector.

37. In the interests of transparency, when projecting greenhouse gas emissions and removals, and estimating the specific and total effect of policies and measures on emissions and removals, Parties should

Debits where emissions are larger than removals on a unit of land.

Credits where removals are larger than emissions on a unit of land.

Adjustment methods based on correlation of emissions removals between categories or gases

Only net CO2 emissions removals are reported in sectoral report table 5.

Methodologies for the verification and auditing of actual emission reductions or removals ..

Correlation of emissions or removals between categories or gases within an inventory could in some cases be used to estimate emissions or removals of a specific gas or from a specific category.

Adjustment methods based on correlation of emissions removals between source categories or gases

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector.

Inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases

Table 3. Summary of projections of removals of CO2 by sinks and reservoirs

Removals of CO2 by sinks are included in the projections, but listed separately.

Correlation of emissions or removals between source categories or gases within an inventory could in some cases be used to estimate emissions or removals of a specific gas or from a specific source category.

and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol

Almost all economic activities affect emissions and some affect the removals of greenhouse gases.

IPHC furthermore had incorporated by catch removals into its stock assessments and harvest policy.

The driver shall be adequately correlated with the emissions or removals concerned The significance of the relationship between the driver used and the emissions or removals calculated needs to be demonstrated, taking into account national circumstances.

Projecting global GHG emissions methods to estimate future global GHG emissions or removals by sinks

The alternatives also reflect a range of views on the inclusion of removals by sinks.

Estonia has not set any specific national target relating to emissions and removals of GHGs.

Tables of inventories of anthropogenic emissions and removals and projections up to the year 2020.

Since 1990, by catch mortality had averaged 21 per cent of the total annual removals.

(a) Address all greenhouse gases, their emissions by sources and removals by sinks, and all relevant sectors

CO2 removals by sinks were estimated separately, as required by the guidelines, at 8,555 Gg per year.

If a small scale afforestation or reforestation project activity under the CDM results in net anthropogenic greenhouse gas removals by sinks greater than 8 kilotonnes of CO2 per year, the excess removals will not be eligible for the issuance of tCERs or lCERs.

These are top down ratios between the Annex I Party's emissions or removals estimate and aggregate activity data.

The second set of tables (tables 3 to 6) covers conservativeness factors for emissions and removals from LULUCF.

For all reporting Parties the projections of CO2 removals in this category were mostly linked to forestry activities.

There are no estimates of whether and how long the present rate of net CO2 removals could be maintained.

These are not presented in the table since different methodologies used to estimate removals did not allow meaningful comparisons.

Information should also be provided which indicates whether or not anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks from land use, land use change and forestry activities under Article 3, paragraph 3, and elected activities under Article 3, paragraph 4, factor out removals from

In calculating the baseline net greenhouse gas removals by sinks and or actual net greenhouse gas removals by sinks, project participants may choose not to account for one or more carbon pools, and or emissions of the greenhouse gases measured in CO2 equivalents, while avoiding double counting.

Annex I Parties should fill in all the cells calling for emissions or removals estimates, activity data, or emission factors.

The emissions or removals need to be strongly correlated with other well known and more readily available indicative data (drivers).
