This report describes the GHG inventory process and its history, analyzes the legal framework, documents and information provisions, and flows related to making the inventory together with identifying the potential adjustments for improvement, assess reporting entities and correlation mechanisms to economic dynamics, in terms of completeness, coherence, response time constant to changes in the number of companies' impact on data reporting, and provides recommendations on the possibility to improve the inventory-making process in order to meet the requirements of emission projections. The report is organized into seven sections as follows: section one provides a general introduction to GHG inventories. Section two examines the processes and procedures used in the present GHG inventory system in Romania and the alignment of this system with international frameworks including the framework for the development of environmental statistics (FDES) and the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) schematic framework. Section three elaborates the challenges with the existing greenhouse inventory process including data gaps and weaknesses in the statistical infrastructure. Section four looks at the international and national legal requirements for greenhouse gas inventories. Section five provides analysis on the flow of information and the specific verification points to ensure data consistency and coherence. Section six provides a number of recommendations and concludes in section seven with a summary of key recommendations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTION PLANAIRAIR EMISSIONSAIR POLLUTIONALLOCATIONANALYSIS OF EMISSION TRENDSANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONSANTHROPOGENIC GREENHOUSEANTHROPOGENIC GREENHOUSE GASANTHROPOGENIC GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSATMOSPHEREATMOSPHERIC MONITORINGAUTOMOBILEBIOGASCALCULATIONCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCARBONCARBON BUDGETCARBON CAPTURECARBON DIOXIDECH4CLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE ISSUESCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE SYSTEMCLIMATE-CHANGECLIMATE_CHANGECOCO2COMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION ACTIVITIESCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITYCOMMERCIAL ENTERPRISESCONFIDENTIALITYDATA DEFINITIONSDATA PROCESSINGDECISION MAKINGDECISION MAKING PROCESSESDESERTIFICATIONDOMAINDOMAINSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DATAECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC DYNAMICSECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC IMPACTSECONOMIC INSTRUMENTSECONOMIC MODELECONOMIC PROCESSESECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMISTSECOSYSTEMSEFFICIENT ADMINISTRATIONELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYEMISSIONEMISSION ALLOWANCESEMISSION DATAEMISSION ESTIMATESEMISSION FACTORSEMISSION LIMITSEMISSION PROJECTIONSEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION TRADINGEMISSIONSEMISSIONS DATAEMISSIONS INVENTORIESEMISSIONS LEVELSEMISSIONS LIMITSEMISSIONS PROJECTIONSENERGY BALANCEENERGY DATAENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY INDUSTRIESENERGY PRODUCERSENERGY RESOURCESENERGY TRANSFORMATIONENERGY USEENTERIC FERMENTATIONENVIRONMENT PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTSENVIRONMENTAL GOODSENVIRONMENTAL LAWSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEXCHANGE OF DATAEXCHANGE OF INFORMATIONEXPENDITURESEXTREME EVENTSFEASIBILITYFLOW OF INFORMATIONFORESTFOREST AREASFOREST LANDFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST RESEARCHFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUELFUEL PRICESFUEL WOODGEOGRAPHIC REGIONGEOGRAPHIC REGIONSGHGGHGSGOVERNMENT ENTITIESGREEN HOUSE GASESGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIESGREENHOUSE GASESHALOCARBONSHFCSHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTIMPACT ASSESSMENTIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCINERATIONINFORMATION FLOWINFORMATION FLOWSINFORMATION PROVISIONSINFORMATION SYSTEMINSTALLATIONSINSTITUTIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL SUPPORTINSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSIPCCLAND USELAND USE CHANGELAND-USE CHANGELANDFILLLANDFILLSLEGAL BASISLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORKLICENSESLIVING CONDITIONSLOW-CARBONMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANUFACTURINGMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMANUREMATERIALMEMBER STATESMETADATAMONITORING MECHANISMN2ONATIONAL EMISSIONNATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORYNATURAL CAPITALNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCENETWORKSOZONEOZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCESPARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTPDFPFCSPRECIPITATIONPRODUCERSPRODUCTION PATTERNSPROJECTIONS OF EMISSIONSPROTOCOLPROTOCOLSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONQUALITY STANDARDSREFINERIESREGISTRYRELIABILITYRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESRESULTRESULTSRETENTIONROAD TRANSPORTSF6SINKSOIL CARBONSOLAR ENERGYSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE DISPOSALSOLVENTSSTANDARD FORMATSTORAGE OF DATASULFURSULFUR HEXAFLUORIDESUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECTSTEMPERATUREUNCERTAINTY ANALYSISUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONVERIFICATIONSWASTEWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWINDReportWorld Bank10.1596/21817
