Use of data from the EU emission trading scheme for reporting to EU Monitoring Mechanism, UNFCCC and CLRTAP

• In order to provide more accurate data for Sweden’s reporting to the EU Monitoring Mechanism, UNFCCC and CLRTAP, the potential of using emission trading data submitted by individual companies in a trading survey in 2004 has been investigated. In 2004 this work involved a quality check by comparing national Swedish data with data on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reported in the trading survey on plant level for the yeas 1998-2004. In several cases, significant discrepancies were observed which warranted a closer investigation and an eventual revision of activity data and a few emission factorsThis present study covers an investigation of 46 plants with discrepancies in activity data and five plants with discrepancies in emission factors, discovered during the work in 2004. After consultation with the appropriate personnel at each company explanations to the observed differences were found. The results indicated a revision of the activity data, which have been performed for 35 plants. The investigation of emission factors also resulted in revision according to the table below.
