What does it all mean?? Mobile & nonroad emissions are SIGNIFICANTLY greater than stationary source emissions Mobile & nonroad emissions are more difficult to calculate than stationary source emissions Fewer emission factors & algorithms available Available algorithms are harder to use Many more types of sources Less accessible activity data for sources General conformity & NEPA require mobile & nonroad emissions to be considered 9
How to evaluate mobile & nonroad Type of source emission sources? Aircraft, Combat, Engineering, GOV, Nonroad, POV, Tactical Activity level Hours of operation, mileage, fuel use Source attributes Model year, engine type, # engines, operating mode, fuel type Emission factors EPA, manufacturer, contract specification, stack test Emission algorithms Good luck. 10

How to Calculate Emissions Emission Factors: Aircraft Air Emission Inventory Guidance Document for Mobile Sources at Air Force Installations, Section 3 (Aircraft Engine Emissions) EPA 450/3-78-117, Air Pollutant Emission Factors for Military and Civil Aircraft, October 1978 Example Calculation: Emissions (lbs/yr) = Fuel Rate (lbs fuel/hr) x Operating Hours (hrs/yr) x EF (lbs pollutant/1,000 lbs fuel-engine) x # engines/aircraft Data Needs: Aircraft type, engine type, # engines/aircraft, fuel flow rate (lbs/hr), time in power setting (% or hrs/yr), total operating hours (hrs/yr), fuel sulfur content (%) 14
How to Calculate Emissions Cars and Trucks Emission Factors: EDMS:www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ae p/models/edms_model/ Mobile6: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/m6.htm Example Calculation: Emissions (lbs/yr) = EF (g/mile) x Mileage (mi/yr) x (lb/g) Data Needs: Vehicle model year, vehicle weight (lbs), average speed (mph), annual mileage (mi/yr), local elevation (ft above sea level), fuel type 15
How to Calculate Emissions Nonroad Engines Emission Factors: NONROAD software: www.epa.gov/otaq/nonrdmdl.htm Air Emission Inventory Guidance Document for Mobile Sources at Air Force Installations, Section 7 (Nonroad Vehicles/Equipment) Example Calculation: Emissions (lbs/yr) = EF (g/hp-hr) x Engine Rating (hp) x Operating Hours (hrs/yr) x [Load Factor/100] x (lb/g) Data Needs: Fuel type, vehicle model year, engine rating (hp), load factor (%), operating hours (hrs/yr), emission conversion factor (bhp-hr/mi) 16
How to Calculate Emissions Tactical Vehicles Emission Factors: Production contract specification for engine exhaust (Meets EPA emission standard??) Example Calculation: Emissions (lbs/yr) = EF (g/hp-hr) x Conversion Factor (bhp-hr/mi) x Mileage (mi/yr) x (lb/g) Data Needs: Fuel type, vehicle weight (lbs), annual mileage (mi/yr), engine emission conversion factor (bhp-hr/mi) 17
