UKRAINE


Now that we have stepped through the review process, you can examine the complete example REVIEW REPORT FOR UKRAINE’s fuel combustion emissions from the Energy Sector. You may send any suggestions you have to improve this example review to the course instructor. Write to ghgtraining@unfccc.int. Again, you should note that the outline of this example review report is not exactly the same as the new template used by the UNFCCC Secretariat for real review reports. The basic content, however, is the same.

 

REVIEW REPORT FOR UKRAINE (Example)

II. ENERGY

A. Sector overview
19. In 2004, annual energy-related emissions from Ukraine had declined by 58.8 percent since from 1990 levels. Nonetheless, in 2004 Ukraine's GHG emissions from the energy sector constituted 68.5 per cent of the country's total GHG emissions. Most of the energy-related GHG emissions are due to energy industries, which constitute 35.6 per cent of the sectoral emissions, while manufacturing industries and construction contribute 16.7 per cent, other sectors 15.3 per cent, and transport 13.3 per cent. Ukraine is a major producer of bituminous coal, but imports most of the crude oil and natural gas that it consumes. Fugitive emissions from fossil fuels contribute about 18.6 per cent of the total energy-related GHG emissions, while 10.4 per cent is due to solid fuels and 8.3 per cent is due to oil and natural gas.

20. Ukraine provided all the CRF tables containing estimates for all years and all gases. Ukraine additionally provided a table in the NIR detailing the missing categories and the reasons behind these omissions. The NIR fails to provide a more detailed discussion of the completeness of the fuel combustion categories. The ERT recommends that Ukraine provide a more detailed discussion of the completeness of its estimates of fuel combustion and fugitive emissions.

21. The period 1991–­1997 lacks complete data on fuel consumption by categories because of changes that occurred in the Ukrainian statistical system. For instance, for this period activity data (AD), implied emission factors (IEFs), and emissions of liquid, solid, gaseous, and other fuels from energy industries, manufacturing industries and construction, transport, and other sectors are reported as not estimated ("NE"). The ERT encourages Ukraine to use splicing and the techniques recommended in the IPCC good practice guidance to make the time series consistent. The ERT also strongly recommends that as a next step Ukraine disaggregate the data available for 1991–­1997 using existing statistical or other AD sources (e.g., information on the vehicle fleet that will obtain road transportation emission estimates for 1991–­1997, or industry data such as fuel use).
