Figure TS.2a: GHG emissions by sector in 1990 and 2004 100-year GWPs from IPCC 1996 (Second Assessment Report (SAR)) were used to convert emissions to CO2-eq. The uncertainty in the graph is quite large for CH4 and N2O (in the order of 30–50%) and even larger for CO2 from agriculture and forestry. For large-scale biomass burning, averaged activity data for 1997–2002 were used from Global Fire Emissions Database based on satellite data. Peat (fire and decay) emissions are based on recent data from WL/Delft Hydraulics. [Figure 1.3a]
Figure TS.2b: GHG emissions by sector in 2004 [Figure 1.3b].
Notes to Figure TS.2a and 2b:
1) Excluding refineries, coke ovens etc., which are included in industry.
2) Including international transport (bunkers), excluding fisheries. Excluding off-road agricultural and forestry vehicles and machinery.
3) Including traditional biomass use. Emissions in Chapter 6 are also reported on the basis of end-use allocation (including the sector’s share in emissions caused by centralized electricity generation) so that any mitigation achievements in the sector resulting from lower electricity use are credited to the sector.
4) Including refineries, coke ovens etc. Emissions reported in Chapter 7 are also reported on the basis of end-use allocation (including the sector’s share in emissions caused by centralized electricity generation) so that any mitigation achievements in the sector resulting from lower electricity use are credited to the sector.
5) Including agricultural waste burning and savannah burning (non-CO2). CO2 emissions and/or removals from agricultural soils are not estimated in this database.
6) Data include CO2 emissions from deforestation, CO2 emissions from decay (decomposition) of above-ground biomass that remains after logging and deforestation, and CO2 from peat fires and decay of drained peat soils. Chapter 9 reports emissions from deforestation only.
7) Includes landfill CH4, wastewater CH4 and N2O, and CO2 from waste incineration (fossil carbon only).
