Ensuring consistency between different national policies in preparation of the national programme: the Slovene experience Matej Gasperič, EARS Brussels, 2.9.2004 Other policies Ministry of Finance Public finance Policies of neighboring countries Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Agricultural policy Ministry of Transport Transport policy Ministry of Phisical Planning, Environment and Energy Energy policy Ministry of Phisical Planning, Environment and Energy Environmental policy Air quality policy NECD Climate Change policy Setting priorities Kyoto protocol and Climate change policy are very important issues for the public ( numbers of NGOs are involved in discussions and round tables) and therefore the politicians are putting this issue at the top of the priorities. “Other policies have to be consistent and in line with Climate Change policy” Policies priorities are in many cases contradictive Transport policy: “Transport contributes to increase of GDP and good infrastructure is key point for development of the economy” Environmental policy: “ We need to reduce volume of road transport and transport emissions, transport sector is the biggest contributor to the air pollution” Or Environmental policy, Climate change: “Diesel helps to reduce GHG emissions” Environmental policy, Air Quality:”Diesel is bad for Air Quality” Clear responsibilities for the policy implementation within the country Agreement with major stakeholders is needed to implement measures for emissions reduction Almost all LCPs in Slovenia are state owned LCP welcome measures for reducing “air quality” emissions (a lot of measures especially for reducing SO2 have been implemented ) Revision of National Emission Inventories 1986,1990-2002 (GHG, SO2, NOx,VOC, NH3, PM) National energy program ? National allocation plan for the period 2005-2007 Operational Plan for reducing GHG emissions ? National programe for reducing SO2, NOx, VOC, NH3 and PM Improvement of national inventories: Completeness (more and more sectors are covered especially for VOC emissions) Quality of data is improving (less default emission factors and more measurements) In some cases historical data are not available Outcomes are: We know more and more about air emissions Emission inventories are more complete and accurate. Emissions are usually higher that we have thought (more we dig in, higher emissions we get) NEC limit value for NOx, SOx, VOC and NH3 for 2010 stays ? Should we improve national emission inventories ? NECD limit value 2000 2000 update 2010 Inventories review: Checking NEC inventories and comparing with GHG inventories ( are the same activity data used as for GHG emissions) QA/QC of the NEC inventories ? Under CLRTAP convention there is no detailed Incountry review of the inventories ! Climate Change policy & Air Quality policy Ensuring consistency between climate change policy and air quality policy can be very demanding. How many energy and emission scenarios do we have and do we use ? Is the same scenario used for Air Quality and Climate Change assessment ? Should these two processes run in paralel (there can be only one type of scenario for both assessments) Example: CC Scenario for NAP Example2:AQ Scenario for NEC 300 300 250 250 200 200 150 150 100 100 50 50 0 2002 2004 transport 2006 other non trading sectors 2008 trading sector 2010 0 2002 2004 transport 2006 other non trading sectors 2008 trading sector 2010 Example: Countries GHG emissions 30000 25000 20000 CO2 trading LCP (trading sector) 15000 Transport 10000 Residential 5000 Industry (trading sector) 0 NECD limit values can be exceded due to CO2 emission trading Theoretically all LCPs can operate 8760 hours/year at full power (with allowed NOx or SOx concentration values). The Ministry of the Environment will be avare of (the possible) exceedence when it will be too late (by the end od next year when NEC inventories are available. It is obvious that additional “legislation” is needed in Slovenia to prevent possible exceeding of NEC limit values due to CO2 emission trading. (SOx, NOx emission allowances ?)
