Centre on Emission Inventories and Projections

CEIP  (the EMEP Centre on Emission Inventories and Projections):

• collects emissions and projections of acidifying air pollutants, heavy metals, particulate matter and photochemical oxidants from Parties to the LRTAP Convention
• prepares data sets as input for long-range transport models
• reviews submitted inventories to assist the Parties improving the quality of reported data
• provides support to the Parties, UNECE secretariat and IC.

CEIP also operates the UNECE/EMEP emission database (WebDab) which contains information on emissions and projections from all Parties to the LRTAP Convention in separate data sets:

•  official emissions as submitted by Parties,
•  emissions used in EMEP models (gap-filled emissions),
•  gridded emissions and  large point sources (LPS) in Google maps, and
•  officialy reported activity data

CEIP work builds on the emission related work within EMEP (Co-operative programme for monitoring and evaluation of long range transmission of air pollutants in Europe), close cooperation is maintained with the other EMEP centres like  CCC,  CIAM,  MSC-E, and  MSC-W.  Important collaboration partners are also the  UNECE secretariat, the  TFEIP, the Austrian Ministry of Environment, the  EEA and the European commission.

 EMEP - the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme is a scientifically based and policy driven programme under the CLRTAP for international co-operation to solve transboundary air pollution problems.
