Greenhouse gases

Monitoring of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

(i) Monitoring of GHGs in the atmosphere

For example ISO 14064 on Greenhouse gases, US DOE 1605(b) on General Guidelines for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting, WRI WBCSD on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

The Measurement of Greenhouse Gases

quot Greenhouse gas quot means any greenhouse gas for which a global warming potential (GWP) is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

The Case for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Agricultural sources of greenhouse gases

7 National GHG inventories are referred to simply as inventories in these guidelines for the sake of brevity.

Greenhouse Gas Technology Information Exchange

However they also act as greenhouse gases.

A country with a higher elasticity of greenhouse gas emissions would therefore share a lower burden in greenhouse gas emission limitation.

Other greenhouse gases (GHG) are not subject to a specific target.

It will occur without adding any more greenhouse gasses.

(b) Historical share of greenhouse gas emissions

a) Includes indirect GHG leakages.

A need was expressed for equipment for monitoring GHG and climate.

(c) Creation of the system of monitoring of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

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

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

Greenhouse Gas Source and Sink Categories CO2

(b) Remove greenhouse gases by sinks and reservoirs and

Fluorocarbons and other greenhouse gases

Percentage of total greenhouse gas emissions

A. Inventorying GHG emissions and sinks

B. Projections of GHG emissions and sinks

The energy sector was the largest source of GHG emissions for 70 Parties, whereas for 45 Parties the agriculture sector was the largest and for six the waste sector was the largest.

Developing and maintaining the GHG information system

Resources for supporting the review of GHG inventories

Impact on greenhouse gas emissions sinks (optional)

II. INVENTORIES OF ANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONS AND REMOVALS

A. Joint implementation and greenhouse gas emissions trading

Under a rigorous certification process, the cradle to grave greenhouse gas emissions are fully offset by accredited greenhouse abatement projects.

To be eligible for accreditation under the Greenhouse Friendly programme, abatement projects must generate permanent, verifiable greenhouse gas emission reductions, avoidances or sequestration.

Inventorying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions methods to estimate GHG emissions from sources or sequestration by sinks

The Parties to the Convention which have greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments must quantify, report, reduce and mitigate their national emissions of greenhouse gases.

supported projects directly related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the enhancement of greenhouse gas sinks.

Net greenhouse gas emissions down 82 percent in absolute tonnage.

(e) Conserve and enhance, as appropriate, greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs.

(d) Fuel switching to less greenhouse gas emitting sources

(c) Fuel switching to less greenhouse gas emitting sources

Updated information on greenhouse gas emissions and projections

(c) To make projections of GHGs in a more consistent manner and

It has also followed, as far as possible, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (1994) in preparing its national inventory of greenhouse gases (GHGs) not controlled by the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

Recognizing the necessity of urgently limiting their anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and of protecting and enhancing their greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs in order to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change,
