The international community is putting some pressure on scientific researchers to come up with reliable indicators to estimate emissions from greenhouse gases.

Modelling alternatives for the estimation of emission factors, definition of policy instruments for greenhouse gas emission abatement as well as measurement of their economic effects are at this stage quite important for the coming multilateral negotiations.
