Annual meeting of the Task Force on Emissions Inventories and Projections (TFEIP)

4 May 2025

In May, several members of the Aether team attended the annual meeting of the Task Force on Emissions Inventories and Projections (TFEIP) which was hosted in Warsaw by the Polish Institute of Environmental Protection.

The TFEIP was established under the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and the Task Force’s role is to support Parties in the reporting of air pollutant emissions and projections data to the Convention. It provides a technical forum and expert network to harmonise emission factors, establish methodologies for the evaluation of emission data and projections and identify problems related to emissions reporting. This includes having responsibility for the development and technical content of the EMEP/EEA Emission Inventory Guidebook used for the estimation and reporting of national emissions.

Sessions across the three days included an uncertainty workshop, international news and sector specific sessions for each of the TFEIP’s six expert panels (Combustion & Industry, Transport, Agriculture, Waste, Projections and User Engagement). A key topic of discussion at this year’s meeting was priority improvements for the next update of the EMEP/EEA Guidebook which is planned for 2027. Prioritised improvement lists for each sector were reviewed and approved at the meeting and will now be used as the basis for the upcoming Guidebook improvement work which Aether staff will be responsible for overseeing.

Members of the Aether team are responsible for the strategic direction and day to day running of the Task Force through the positions of Task Force Co-Chair, Projections Expert Panel Co-Chair and Secretariat, for which we’re proud to be supported by UK Government.

Testimonial

Don't just take our word for it...

“ From their winning bid to final delivery, Aether's work with North Norfolk District Council was positive and thorough. They brought a clear understanding of the challenges local authorities face regarding carbon emissions and quickly understood the unique nature of the Coastwise project. Communication was effective, and the outcomes combined a depth of research with real-world utility for the council's activities around carbon emissions and mitigation. ”

Alastair Zangs, North Norfolk District Council

“ The team at Aether works very professionally and communicates very well which makes working with them a pleasure. Outputs are delivered on time to high quality. The team brings the rigour of technical knowledge and expertise and finds innovative ways of communicating complex messages. I would be happy to recommend the Aether team to organisations working on analysing and presenting emissions information in the public domain. ”
