The off-road emissions inventory is an estimate of the population, activity, and emissions estimate of the varied types of off-road equipment. The major categories of engines and vehicles include agricultural, construction, lawn and garden and offroad recreation, and includes equipment from hedge trimmers to cranes. The OFFROAD Model estimates the relative contribution of gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas powered vehicles to the overall emissions inventory of the state.

For information, contact David Chou, Manager of the Off-Road Inventory and Assessments Section.



REVISION NOTICE: Both the EMFAC and OFFROAD Models develop CO2 and CH4 emission estimates; however, they are not currently used as the basis for ARB's official GHG inventory which is based on fuel usage information The ARB's official GHG inventory can be found at the link below:

ARB is working towards reconciling the emission estimates from the fuel usage approach and the models.
