• Analysis of European greenhouse gas inventories in the aviation sector
  ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2007/6
  
  Greenhouse gas emissions from aviation are part of the reporting obligations of Parties to the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. Only emissions from domestic aviation are part of the national emission reduction obligations and have to be reported separately from emissions caused by international aviation. While data on total fuel consumption by aviation is normally available the split between domestic and international aviation requires information which is not always available. This paper compares estimates for greenhouse gas emissions from aviation as reported by EEA Member States with estimates calculated by the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol). Eurocontrol calculations are based on flight movement data only and provide an estimate for fuel burn and GHG emissions which is independent of the estimates produces by the Member States. This analysis is part of the quality assurance and quality control programme for the greenhouse gas inventory of the European Community and might help countries and the EC in improving their estimates.

• The EU Emissions Trading Scheme in numbers
  ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2007/2
  
  The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is one of the main and most prominent measures of the EU for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reaching its Kyoto target. One of the main sources for information on the scheme is the community independent transaction log (CITL). This report provides an overview on the information contained in the CITL for the first two years of the trading scheme as well as an assessment of the Commission Decisions for the second trading period from 2008-12.

• Options for a 2020 EU Burden Sharing Agreement
  Working Paper for the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety
  
  Within the European Union the Member States face the problem of finding target sharing agreements for different binding and quantified commitments for the total emission reduction commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), for the caps within the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and regarding the expansion of energy supply from renewable energy sources. The three targets are interlinked and the process for the target sharing agreement follows not in all dimensions the same timing. The paper outlines the different approaches which could constitute the basis for the upcoming debates. The analysis presented in this paper is geared to identifying starting points, general principles and key findings for the debate.

• Berichterstattung unter der Klimarahmenkonvention der Vereinten Nationen 2007
  Als Vertragsstaat der Klimarahmenkonvention der Vereinten Nationen (UNFCCC) ist Deutschland seit 1994 dazu verpflichtet, Inventare zu nationalen Treibhausgasemissionen zu erstellen, zu veröffentlichen und regelmäßig fortzuschreiben. Mit dem Inkrafttreten des Kyoto-Protokolls im Februar 2005 ist die internationale Staatengemeinschaft erstmals verpflichtet, verbindliche Handlungsziele und Umsetzungsinstrumente für den globalen Klimaschutz zu realisieren. Hieraus ergeben sich sehr weit reichende Verpflichtungen für die Erstellung, die Berichterstattung und die Überprüfung von Emissionsinventaren. Deutschland legt zusammen mit den Inventaren für die Jahre 1990 bis 2005 seinen fünften Nationalen Inventarbericht (NIR 2007) vor, der sich ebenfalls auf diesen Zeitraum bezieht und die Methoden sowie die Datenquellen beschreibt, auf denen die Berechnungen basieren.

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Aviation
  ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2006/3
  
  Greenhouse gas emissions from aviation have been rising steadily in the past due to increased demand for air traffic despite efficiency increases through technological improvements and operative measures. At the same time emissions from international aviation are not covered by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or its Kyoto Protocol. The Commission of the European Communities has proposed a Directive which would include aviation in an emissions trading scheme due to the lack of progress on the international level.

• Implications of the CDM on other Conventions. The case of HFC-23 destruction
  In our analysis we showed that the destruction of HFC-23 in new HCFC 22 facilities under the CDM would likely lead to increased emissions of GHGs as well as ozone depleting substances because production costs of HCFC-22 are expected to be negative when revenues from generated CERs are taken into account. While there is no direct clause on how to handle negative effects on the objectives of other conventions under the Kyoto Protocol or the UNFCCC, there should be great interest in minimising the negative consequences of the CDM for the objective of the Montreal Protocol as well as for climate mitigation, since most Parties are signatories to both treaties.
