REVIEW REPORT FOR UKRAINE

2. Fuel Combustion for Transport - CO₂

37. In the period 1990­–2004, CO₂ emissions from road transportation have decreased by 55.3 per cent. The trend of CO₂ emissions fluctuates (inter-annual change for 1999­–2000 is ­–9.7 per cent, for 2000­–2001 is +9.8 per cent and for 2001­2002 is +11.8 per cent). Ukraine explained that this differences are due to the changes in the source of statistical data because different agencies were responsible for their compilation. Ukraine made efforts to map the various categories between these two sources of information and to ensure that they were comparable. Economic instability could be the reason for some of the differences observed in the most recent years. Ukraine is recommended to use economic data and trends to compare with those data and trends observed for CO₂ emissions and, if possible, correct problems.

38. The CO₂ IEF for gasoline in 1990 is 68.66 t/TJ and the CO₂ IEFs reported for 1998–­2004 have a constant value of 68.61 t/TJ. Ukraine indicated that the reason for this difference in the IEFs is that some technical jet kerosene emissions were aggregated along with the gasoline ones. Ukraine is recommended to include this information separately under other liquid fuels in order to ensure correct allocation and transparency in the calculations.

39. Ukraine is planning to use higher tier methods for emission estimations in the category road transportation, based on information about the stock of cars, distances travelled and specific fuel consumption. Development of national EFs for gasoline and diesel oil combustion is also planned.
