msei -- PUBLIC WORKSHOP ON UPDATES TO MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS INVENTORY
Posted: 24 Oct 2014 15:05:58
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to participate in a workshop on Friday, November 7, 2014 to discuss updates to three components of the mobile source emissions inventory. At the workshop staff will summarize the updates that have been made to and present draft default results from the new EMFAC2014 model. This will be the third and final public workshop to discuss the development of EMFAC2014 before its public release in December 2014. Staff will also provide updates to emissions inventories for two off-road categories, Commercial Harbor Craft and Line Haul Locomotives The workshop will be held at the following date, time and location: Date: Friday, November 7, 2014 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Location: Cal/EPA Headquarter Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Webcast and Workshop Materials A live video/audio webcast will be available for those unable to attend in person. The webcast can be accessed at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/. Information on submitting questions or comments will be provided during the webcast for remote participants. The workshop materials will be posted in advance of the workshop at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msei/msei.htm. Workshop Information and Background The past several decades have seen dramatic improvements in air quality as a result of regulations that reduced emissions from stationary and mobile sources. However, substantial additional emissions reductions will be necessary to meet more stringent ozone air quality standards and California’s long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. ARB is expanding mobile source analysis tools to support air quality planning focused on achieving these goals. The EMFAC model is the primary tool that the ARB uses to assess emissions from on-road vehicles including cars, trucks, and buses. This will be the third and final public workshop to discuss the development of latest version of EMFAC. At the workshop staff will provide a description of the updates and present draft results from the model. Staff will also describe the graphical user interface, major functionalities, and output files produced by the model as well as demonstrate how the model works. In addition to presenting EMFAC2014, staff will also provide updates to emissions inventories for two off-road categories, Commercial Harbor Craft and Line Haul Locomotives.
