21 Reconstruction of activity data

22 Improving global BB emission estimations 3BEM regional model - Similar approach GFED Longo et al, Atmos. Chem. Phys, 21

23 CCAT-BRAMS results vs observations (SMOCC field campaign) Smoke season (average) Intense polluted time period 3BEM is used in Prepchem preprocessor (for CCAT BRAMS and WRF-CHEM regional models)

24 Evaluation of on-road vehicle emission inventories for CO and NO x for Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Santiago, and São Paulo Inventories for 25 and 27 exhibited CO/NO x ratios fairly consistent with observed trend. This consistency was not kept when evaluating total CO and NO x emissions. None of the emission inventories is able to reproduce the observed CO/NO x molar ratios for Santiago. Potential overestimation of NO x emissions by a factor of 2-3 L. Gallardo et al., Atmos Environ, 47 (212) 12 19

25 Estimating prospective emissions for Brazil (211-23) National fuel consumption projections: using the supply-demand model MESSAGE (model for energy supply strategy alternatives and their environmental impacts) Vehicular fleet: using the estimated fuel consumption, the relationship between the Brazilian vehicular fleet and GDP and other considerations regarding share of biofuels and natural gas conversion National emissions: considering the implementation of the PROCONVE program relative to emission reductions from road transportation Regional emissions M.F.

28 Commited electricity genertion in Buenos Aires- Power plants End of life of one Steam turbine Revamping of a steam turbine All the units after a revamping Maximum power of all units

29 Commited electricity generation in Buenos Aires- Power plants Scenario considers constant importation of energy Restrictions in transmission lines Restrictions in distribution system

30 Commited emissions in Buenos Aires- Residential Gradual introduction of more efficient appliances Improved passive efficiency

31 South America BC emissions (ACCMIP)

32 SA BC emissions Biomass Burning (GFED3) Forest degradation Temperate forest Agricultural waste Savanna and grassland Tropical forest deforestation) Tg/year

33 SA BC emissions Biomass Burning GFED vs Deforestation.3 3 BC emissions (Tg year -1 ) Deforestation (km 2 year -1 ) South America BC emissions from deforestation Deforestation (INPE, 213) Deforestation estimated by INPE using satellite monitoring techniques, based mainly in Landsat images, but in a combination with other remote sensing information to minimize the problem of cloud cover

34 Final remarks Adequate level of expertise for the development of national and local emission inventories Local inventories are generally incomplete and reported with different degrees of transparency (documentation, uncertainties) Ample space for reconciliations Interaction between inventory communities Different objectives and uses of policy oriented and scientific inventories Validation and verification
