Baseline emission projections for the EU-27Results from the EC4MACS project andwork plan for the TSAP revision

Markus AmannInternational Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

2nd meeting of the DG-ENV SEG Stakeholder GroupBrussels, January 19-20, 2012

The EC4MACS baseline emission projectionPRIMES REF 2010 + CAPRI 2010 scenarios

• EC4MACS employs recent EU-wide consistent activity projections (i.e., PRIMES 2010, CAPRI)

• EC4MACS assumes compliance with EU climate and renewable targets (i.e., PRIMES 2010), and current air pollution control legislation

• -13% GHGs in 2020, -17% GHGs in 2030 relative to 2005

• NH3 would increase by ~7%• Other air pollutants decrease,

even after 2020• In 2020, the baseline would meet TSAP

targets for PM, ozone and acidification, but not for eutrophication0%

National scenarios

Different assumptions on climate and energy policies result in different SO2 and NOx emissions

• National scenarios with higher SO2 and NOx assume also higher GHG emissions (+4% in 2020 relative to 2005)

• PRIMES 2010 CLE: -13% GHGs rel. to 2005, compliant with EU E&C package

• PRIMES -25% CLE: -18% GHGs in 2020, even lower SO2 and NOx

National activity scenarios build on different assumptionsGDP and oil price assumptions of the national scenarios provided to IIASA for the Gothenburg negotiations

The national activity scenarios provided to IIASA in 2010 employ internationally inconsistent assumptions on • economic growth,• oil prices,• carbon prices/climate policies• import/export of electricity,• etc..

These differences will influence baseline emissions and the cost-effective allocation of further emission control measures across countries

Different assumptions on agricultural activities result in different NH3 emissions

• EC4MACS sensitivity analysis for ‘healthy diet’:– Original assumption:

-75% meat consumption, no change in milk demand

– Coupled milk-meat production and feedback from lower meat prices lead to:

• -25% chicken• -75% pigs• -10% cattle• Total meat consumption: -33%

• Emission changes in 2030 (relative to baseline):– -17% NH3

– -9% CH4

– -6% N2O• Larger emission reductions would require

changes in milk consumption0.0

Sensitivity analysis for transport emissions Implications of hypothetical non-delivery of Euro-5 and Euro-6

EC4MACS sensitivity analyses for implementation failure of Euro 5/6:

In 2020, • (observed) real-life Euro-5 emission

factors would increase total NOx by 16% compared to EC4MACS baseline,

• failure of Euro-6 could increase total NOx emissions by up to 50%.

Some countries assume failure of Euro-6 in their Gothenburg pledges

For comparison, a 50% lower diesel fraction of passenger cars would reduce total NOx emissions by 2-7 %.

The way forward to reduce discrepancies between national and EU-wide estimates: Bilateral consultations on baselines

• February:– Report and on-line access to Final EC4MACS baseline emission scenario

• March-September: – Bilateral consultations with MS experts on GAINS emission calculations

(but not on energy scenarios!) to improve the EC4MACS Final Assessment – For appointments: contact IIASA– Submission of national energy/agricultural scenarios to IIASA for implementation

in GAINS. GAINS data templates with PRIMES data will be provided by IIASA.

• March-September:– New PRIMES 2012 baseline, with consultations of DG-ENER/PRIMES with

MS energy experts

• June: – Draft TSAP baseline (including first MS comments) presented to ESG– Further feedbacks to IIASA up to September

• December 2012: – Final TSAP baseline(s)

Forthcoming reports under the Service contract to explore sectorial emission reduction potentials

Reports:1. Draft emission baseline up to 2030 and Maximum Control Efforts scenario2. Comparison of NEC assumptions in 2000 with actual developments, reasons for

differences3. Contribution to EU air quality from non-EU countries4. Further emission reduction potentials from small emission sources5. Further emission reduction potentials from agricultural sources6. Further emission reduction potentials from ships7. Further emission reduction potentials from road traffic8. Compliance with air quality limit values (downscaling methodology – see next talk)

Time table:• June:

– Presentation of draft reports to SEG• September:

– Deadline for feedbacks• December:

– Final version of reports– Incorporation into the Final TSAP baseline

Conclusions

• The EC4MACS baseline, based on PRIMES/CAPRI 2010, suggests increases of NH3 and declines of SO2, NOx, PM2.5 and VOC. TSAP targets would be met, with the exception for eutrophication

• National energy scenarios highlight important uncertainties related to– different assumptions on energy and climate policies (national projections not

necessarily internationally consistent),– different expectations about effectiveness of current emission control policies

(e.g., transport),– recent changes in historic emission inventories (validation?).

• The work plan for the TSAP revision foresees bilateral consultations of MS and IIASA/DG-ENER to resolve key discrepancies. Final baseline scenarios are planned for end of 2012.
