Description

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory is an essential part of national communications of countries that are Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In Kenya, an inventory of GHG emissions was conducted during the First National Communications, published and submitted to the UNFCCC in October 2002.  The Initial National Communication GHG emissions were calculated in the following sectors: Energy, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LUCF), Agriculture, Industrial Processes and Waste. The main gases listed are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOC). Emissions of other gases such as hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs) per fluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) were considered negligible. The IPCC’s 2006 revised guidelines on GHG emissions and emission factors were used.

Kenya has submitted its Second National Communication (SNC). The GHG inventory chapter within the SNC outlines the greenhouse gas emissions and removals by sinks for the year 2000, as well as additional years between 1995 and 2010. The country is now embarking on the development of its third national communication. A key ambition of the country is to use tier 2 reporting in its GHG report for the third national communication as such research will be supported to identify country specific emission factors for the  AFOLU sector.

Objective

The overall objective of the assignment is to develop Kenya’s greenhouse gas inventory for use in the Third National Communication and the first Biennial Update Report for Kenya.
