REVIEW REPORT FOR NEW ZEALAND (EXAMPLE)

2. Stationary combustion: solid fuels – CO₂
35. The NIR reports that CO₂ emissions from iron and steel are estimated and reported in the industrial processes sector on the basis that virtually all coal is used as a reductant. It is recommended that New Zealand include this explanation in its future NIRs.

3. Road transportation: liquid fuels – CH₄
37. The CH₄ EF for gasoline (63.16 kg/TJ) in 1990 is the highest among reporting Parties and is higher than the IPCC default value (20 kg/TJ). This value is taken from the study undertaken by Bone et al. (1993). From 2003 onwards, the value adopted is the IPCC default. The EFs from 1994 to 2002 are calculated using linear interpolation. The case of EFs for diesel oil is similar to that described for EFs for gasoline. In both cases, the trend of the CH₄ EFs in the period 1990–2004 is distinct from that of most reporting Parties. The ERT recommended that New Zealand consider revising the CH₄ emissions from road transportation for gasoline and diesel oil using IPCC default emission factors (20 kg/TJ for gasoline and 5 kg/TJ for diesel oil) and investigate and check the country-specific values published by Bone et al. (1993).
