  6 KEY CONCEPTS ANDCALCULATION RULES Activity data (AD) quantifies the human activity occurring in the territory of the local authority [MWh] Examples of AD are : - NG consumed in buildings; - Electricity consumed; - Diesel used in transportation; It is strongly recommended to used data relevant to the local territory Emission factors (EF) quantifies the emissions of CO2 emitted per unit of activity [tCO2/MWh] Examples of EF are : - CO2 emitted per unit of NGconsumed; - CO2 emitted per unit of electricity; - CO2 emitted per unit of diesel; The amount of CH4 or N2O are converted into CO2 equivalents by multiplying GWP total amount of GHG emitted [tCO2] Total amount of GHG emissions: - GHG emissions due to NG consumed; - GHG emissions due to electricity consumption; - GHG emissions due to diesel consumption Activity Data Emission factors Emissions* =

  7 I. In orderto calculate the CO2 emissions to be attributed to electricity consumption it is recommended to use the national emission factor or the European one (NEEFE) [tCO2/MWh]. II. The municipality can correct the national emission factor with the local production of electricity by calculating the local emission factor for electricity (EFE) III. if there is some heat sold / distributed as a commodity to end users (e.g. district heating), the municipality have to assess the local emission factor for heat (EFH) IV. In case of CHPs the efficiency method is used to allocate emissions between heat and electricity EMISSION FACTORS FOR ELECTRICITY AND HEAT

  8 Energy consumption datain Private/Commercial buildings and transport are usually challenging, while electricity consumption and institutional AD are generally well reported: I. Centralized data collection at national level are facilitating data collection at local level (e.g. Netherlands, Cyprus and Denmark) II. Covenant supporters play a key role in helping small and medium size local authorities to collect the data – multilevel governance (the province of Limburg BE, Barcelona ES, Foggia , Aquila IT) III. Getting data from the market operators ( Italy, Slovenia) and from the consumer survey IV. Making and reporting estimates : (e.g. GCoM data portal project) CHALLENGES FOR DATA COLLECTION AND SUGGESTIONS

  9 The method tobe used in the frame of the Covenant is the territorial method, based on the mileage driven within the local territory and it can be relatively simple to apply. I. the Vehicle-Kilometres Travelled (VKT) as a measure of traffic flow, determined by multiplying the number of vehicles on a given road or traffic network by the average length of their trips measured in kilometres II. The modal share and distribution of trips to different types of vehicles (fleet distribution) III. The fuel consumption of each vehicle type [l fuel/km] IV. The Net Calorific Value (NCV) of the fuel [e.g. in kWh/l] (conversion factor) TERRITORIAL APPROACH - TRANSPORT Activity Data = Vehicle-kilometres travelled [km] x Average fuel consumption [l/km] x Fuel Net calorific value [kWh/l]

Target ; base years and ambition : same as NDCs i.e: India’s (NDC) sets targets for 2030 to lower the emissions intensity of GDP by between 33%–35% below 2005 levels. IV. Units: reported as a percentage (%) reduction from the base year or scenario year. SETTING MITIGATION TARGET
