E-PRTR and SEIS, Wim van der Maas, 2 Dec 2008
Outline
PRTR in the Netherlands Process and dataflow
Three systems with useful experiences for SEIS1. Integrated industrial reporting (e-AER)
2. Internal website with PRTR-partners
3. Aarhus implementation
Lessons Learned Technology is not the issue, what are the issues? Standardisation, Version control, What is in it for us?

E-PRTR and SEIS, Wim van der Maas, 2 Dec 2008
Netherlands Pollutant Release & Transfer Register
Since 1974 The national emissions to air, water and soil of 350 pollutants Two datasets per year (t-2 in March, t-1 in July) Formal approved by the partners:
Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) Statistics Netherlands (CBS) Institute for Inland Water Management and Waste Water Treatment the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO).
On behalf of three Ministries Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) Transport, Public Works and Water Management (V&W)
Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV)

E-PRTR and SEIS, Wim van der Maas, 2 Dec 2008
Overall coordination of the process (70 emission experts, 10 institutes)
Infrastructure (websites, databases) Spatial allocation of the national emissions Report emissions to the Dutch government, EU, UNFCCC
LCP, EPER/E-PRTR, NIR, IIR CLRTAP/NEC, WFD etc. One exception: Cap & trade emission reports (ETS)
Report emissions to the public www.prtr.nl www.emissieregistratie.nl [email protected]
Tasks of the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency:

E-PRTR and SEIS, Wim van der Maas, 2 Dec 2008
Emissions of 1000 point sources (IPPC facilities, eAER’s)
650 source categories with national totals and activity levels
Divided into 55 work packages (Emission Experts)
5 Task Forces: Energy sector, industry, waste Agriculture Transport Water Consumers
Data in the PRTR
Diffuse sources
Calculated individual sources
IPPC-facilities (eAER)

Integrated industrial reporting (e-AER)
1
Since 1995 mandatory annual reporting by the industry Integration of 11 separate questionnaires 250 largest companies + 500 voluntary
Questionnaire on paper of 100+ pages (fixed format) Increasing amount of themes
air, water, waste, energy, noise, safety, soil...
250 (local) authorities for validation at least 7 copies on paper
Digitised after validation into one database quality problems

E-PRTR and SEIS, Wim van der Maas, 2 Dec 2008
Integrated industrial reporting (e-AER)
1
An intelligent form (100+ screens) Many checks and balances Historical data also shown
A central database with historical and actual data
A web-site to: Give user support (additional helpdesk) Reporting of data (to spreadsheets) Reporting of status information
Your password and ID implies the information

Integrated industrial reporting (e-AER)
1
This months we will pass a new law to integrate E-PRTR with the other obligations: - Information on installations (LCP and to calculate national data)- On energy use (LCP, GHG) - 15 pollutants with lower thresholds (< 90% coverage)- 8 additional pollutants (TSP)- Combustion and process-emissions (GHG)
- Biomass CO2
And a tender to rebuild the e-AER to facilitate the integration of E-PRTR

Internal website with PRTR-partners
2
Only accessible by PRTR-partners (extranet) Down- en Uploads by the Emission Experts
Version control Only the expert can upload it’s work package Many automated checks during uploads As many down- and uploads as wanted Automated logging of all uploads
EmissionExplorer for overall checks After an upload every partner can check ‘the whole picture’ To compare with previous datasets To analyses trends

Public website (Aarhus implementation)
3
To inform the public about emission-sources in their neighborhood (and, by doing so, increasing the involvement of the public in validation of emissions
Bilingual Integration of point sources and diffuse emissions Integrated compartments (air, air IPCC, soil, water
indirect and direct) Maps per emission source, 5*5 km grid, per community
(municipalities), water catchment area etc. Emission Explorer, only one dataset, no activity data All methodologies used, detailed exports

What are the issues?
Standardisation Just finished a study to explain the CO2-differences between ETS,
E-PRTR, NIR-CRF
Version control (continuously updated!) Timing of the various obligations Process is dominated by the UNFCC GHG inventory
What is in it for us? (to get people moving) Focus communication of SEIS
Business to Government (no) Local Government to National Government (no) National Government to EU (yes) EU to the public (…)

Concepts we benefited from
The owner has control Central data-model No storage of redundant information
Pro: consistency guaranteed Contra: storage at the lowest level Source categorisation
Very strict version control Two datasets, always ‘JIT’, harmonise data
Forbid the use of spreadsheets for data storage or as a reporting tool
