3 Background Background 1 Anthropogenic contributions to the chemical composition of the atmosphere affect the balance of both visible and infrared radiation in the Earth-atmosphere system(bond et. al., JGR, 24). Anthropogenic emissions are increasing rapidly and will continue to increase in the future. Therefore, the development of emission i inventories i for the past, present, and future is very important(ohara et. al., ACP, 27). FORCING Emissions Climate Atmospheric chemistry Air pollution meteorology Source : Jacob et. al., AE, 29 Source : Ohara et. al., ACP, 27

4 Background Background 2 But, emission inventory processing has many complicated steps. Steps Emission projection Chemical speciation Temporal allocation Spatial allocation Components Category Numbers Description Sectors > 3 Fuel combustion, fuel production, biofuel combustion, industrial process, landfills etc. Fuels > 4 Coal, heavy liquid fuel, light liquid fuel, gas Pollutants > 1 SO 2, NOx, CO, BC, OC, NMVOC, NH 3,CO 2,N 2 O, CH 4 Scenario >2 A2, B1 Number of cases > 24 To improve efficiency of the process, it is necessary to integrate & automate the process

5 Objective Objective Integrate and automate emissions processing Estimate a global emission inventory of pollutants and GHGs for the future. Pollutants : NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH 3,SO 2, BC, OC, GHGs (CO 2,N 2 O, CH 4 ) Period : year 21 ~21 (base-year: year 2, for 1 years) Temporal & spatial resolution : 1 X 1 grid, monthly (global) l) Scenario: A2 and B1 scenario of IMAGE model output Anthropogenic emissions

18 Summary & on-going work Summary We developed an emission inventory yprocessing gprogram to integrate & automate the process. Emissions were estimated using a developed emission inventory processing program for A2 and db1 scenarios. In case of A2 scenario, all pollutants emissions increase 59%~47% On the other hand, emission estimates of B1 scenario shows relatively less increase or decrease, from -84%~56% East Asia and other regions of Asia show up as main contributor regions in the base year and in 21 for the A2 and B1 scenarios.

19 Summary & on-going work On-going work Emission estimation Scenarios: 6 scenarios(a1b, A1FI, A1T, A2, B1, B2), Period: 4 years(year 1996~25, 216~225, 246~255, 291~21) Scale: global & regional emission inventory New scenario study RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) : inquire the scenario & compare and analysis with earlier study Source: IPCC, CLIMATE CHANGE 21:THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS
