Key category analysis includes all source and sink categories. By implementing KCA, inventory compilers can prioritise their efforts and improve their overall estimates in the national GHG inventory. A precise overview on the significance of the KCA in terms of the inventory aspects is presented in Volume 1 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (Chapter 4, Methodological choice and identification of key categories, page 4.5).
