Abstract:

Direct comparison of pollutant emission inventories, when they are subject to high uncertainty, like that of greenhouse gases, is inadequate and leads to paradoxes. In the paper the methods of comparing uncertain inventories are discussed in the context of checking compliance. This problem is treated from the view of comparison of uncertain alternatives. It provides categorization and ranking of inventories. The ranking induces compliance checking conditions. There exist a number of techniques to rank uncertain estimates. Only these which can be used to elaborate conditions for checking fulfilment of obligations on the basis of knowledge of uncertain emission estimate characteristics are considered. Probabilistic and fuzzy approaches are discussed and compared.
