In the following section, exercises are provided for you to practice your skills as a review expert on Energy Sector emissions from fuel combustion. You should already have the inventory submission materials from six different Parties downloaded onto your computer: Austria, Greece, Luxemborg, New Zealand, Slovakia, and Ukraine. (Click here if you still need to download these materials.) The exercises below will require you to utilize these materials to answer questions, as if you were part of a real review team. In the course of your work on these exercises, it may help to have many of the Parties CRF files, or National Inventory Reports (NIRs) open on your computer at the same time.

You can then check your answer at the end of each question, where a discussion of the correct answer is provided. In all cases, though, you should attempt to answer the questions before clicking for “Help,” and you should not click on “Answer” until you have formulated your own answer. Doing so will only cause you to be less prepared for your final exam on this training module.

Most of the presented exercises are directed at matters pertaining to CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion; however, some of these examples also pertain to similar matters concerning non-CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion. This overlap stems from the fact that the activity data used for CO₂ and non-CO₂ estimates are typically the same. The key differences between CO₂ and non-CO₂ emission estimates relate to the disaggregation of activity data according to technology and emission control classifications.
