This report is part of the documentation distributed to users of the CollectER and ReportER software system for air emission inventories.
The new versions implement the larger part of the new Common Reporting Format of UNFCCC into the reporting tool, using an exact copy of the MS Excel template as provided by the UNFCCC secretariat. Since this CRF requests information that is typically not present in a classical emission inventory as the one produced by CollectER, not all data can be uploaded from the database and additional manual work by the national expert is needed to complete the tables. ETC/AE is presently working on extra functionality to also implement this extra information into the system.
TrainER describes the basics of the system as far as necessary and useful for the National Reference Centre as the intended user of the software.
TrainER provides an overall description of the inventorying process that the software can support. It provides step by step guidance for the inventory collection using CollectER and ReportER for a virtual country called Middle Earth. This country is derived from the novel The Lord of the Rings by the Oxford story teller JRR Tolkien. ETC/AE provides the sample inventory for Middle Earth 1997 in a MS Access file called MiddleEarth97.mdb.
The TrainER lists a few difficulties that might arise when you are upgrading your database to the new versions; these difficulties might arise since the CRF is more strict than the IPCC reporting format and thus poses heavier restrictions on data input.
We hope that use of this software will continue to facilitate the development of more consistent, transparent and comparable emission inventories in all countries participating in the EEA work programme.
