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.

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.
