Tender description

This ITT is to provide distribution of anthropogenic and biogenic surface emissions in direct support of CAMS global and regional production chains, with target resolutions of 50 km and 10 km or finer respectively. The emissions will cover a minimum of 8 pollutants: NOx, SO2, NMVOC (including the split into individual species for each country), NH3, PM10, PM2.5, CO and CH4. They must also be stratified into headline activity sectors defined in the Standardized Nomenclature for Air Pollutants (SNAP). The period covered by the emissions will be initially 2003-2009 and subsequent years will be added at the pace of one additional year every year, as reporting and ancillary activities data become available. Besides the yearly totals, the successful bidder will deliver monthly, weekly and hourly temporal profiles. Extrapolation methodologies to derive emissions for the current year will be in scope of the developmental aspects of the work. The successful bidder will have to demonstrate expertise in the field as well as a proven track record of delivering quality-controlled emissions datasets. Contract duration is 36 months.
