Project description
A joint approach for quantifying emissions
Emissions reporting is important. There are two different methods. One is the bottom-up method, estimating emissions through the analysis of activity data coupled with emission factors, and the other is the top-down method that estimates emissions based on observations of atmospheric concentration. Only a few countries use a joint approach, which is considered good practice. In this context, the EU-funded PARIS project aims to significantly increase the uptake of this joint approach to emissions evaluation. For eight countries in Europe, the project will draft annual Annexes to National Inventory Reports (NIRs). The overall aim is to increase (quadruple) the number of countries that include top-down emissions estimates in their NIRs.
