Road Transport Emission Factors and Fleet Data Information from the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory Tim Murrells DMUG Meeting London 5 th December 2012
Introduction NO x emission factors Reasons for change What are the changes? Fleet composition Evidence What are the changes? PM, HC emission factors Factors for alternative vehicle technologies
Recent Trends in Roadside NO x Concentrations David Carslaw et al, 2011 Concentrations have been flat or weakly downward over the past 6-8 years
NO x ktonnes/yr) Recent Trends in Roadside NO x Concentrations Trend in conc.: -0.5% to -2%/year 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 Mcycle Bus Artic HGV Rigid HGV Diesel LGV Petrol LGV Diesel car Petrol car Trends implied by UK inventory up to 2009 were not consistent with observations Trend in emissions: -6%/year
NO x Trends at Roadside Sites in European Cities
Approach in NAEI 2009 2009 version of NAEI published in early 2011 NAEI used average DfT/TRL (2009) speed-related emission factors for different vehicle types, fuels and Euro standards with DfT traffic flow data and national fleet composition data Why cannot emission inventories explain trends in roadside NO x concentrations? Have Euro standards delivered expected improvements? Are real-world emission factors dependent on technologies?
Alternative Sources of Emission Factors for Road Transport in Europe New factors published in 2010/2011 COPERT 4 Supported by European Environment Agency for national inventory reporting under CLRTAP EMEP/CORINAIR Emissions Inventory Guidebook www.eea.europa.eu/publications/emep-eea-emission-inventory-guidebook-2009/part-b-sectoral-guidancechapters/1-energy/1-a-combustion/1-a-3-b-road-transport.pdf Average speed-related emission factors similar in style to UKEF COPERT 4 v8.1/v9 (November 2011) HBEFA v3.1 Swiss/German Handbook of Emission Factors (January 2010) Factors for many different traffic situations

Vehicle Technologies We are entering an era where knowledge of emission standard is not enough information to model traffic emission Even for conventional petrol and diesel vehicles, a wider range of technologies are used to meet standards, improve fuel efficiencies E.g. SCR vs EGR Low carbon technologies Different types same CO 2 performance, different air pollutant emissions, different cycle dependence Alternative fuels National uptake rates who knows?
Emission Factors for Alternative Vehicle Technologies and Fuels Literature review Information from TfL EMEP Emissions Inventory Guidebook (where possible) Scaling factors (or g/km emission factors) developed for different technologies relative to conventional petrol or diesel equivalent NO x, PM, CO 2
Emission Factors for Alternative Vehicle Technologies and Fuels Passenger cars Full hybrid electric (Toyota Prius) Plug-in hybrid electric E85 bioethanol LPG HGVs Buses Retrofit DPF B100 biodiesel Retrofit DPF Retrofit SCR Retrofit SCR TfL performance standards B100 biodiesel CNG/biogas Hybrid electric
Emission Factors for Alternative Vehicle Technologies and Fuels In some cases, very difficult to pin down a factor with any certainty Few measurements high uncertainty Variation in engineering design for notionally the same technology brings high variability in emission performance, even directional change. Dependent on drive cycle Hybridisation Not always certain what vehicles and cycles the emissions information reported in the literature can be compared against Retrofit technology - performance specification?

Release Plan NAEI are finalising the factors Peer review by DfT Tables of factors with supporting text will be available on NAEI website Implementation in EFT Will need to be keep under constant review as further evidence emerges
Conclusions (1) New exhaust emission factors for NO x and fleet composition have been compiled and are available on NAEI website and included in EFT Recent Euro standards for light duty diesel vehicles not delivering the expected improvements for NO x under real-world conditions Use of new emission factors and fleet data closes the gap between trends in emissions and roadside concentrations of NO x, but there is still a gap Euro 5, 6? Primary NO 2 Importance of technology: SCR vs EGR
Conclusions (2) The EEA COPERT 4 source of emission factors of PM and VOCs have been adopted by the NAEI for national modelling of road transport emissions, but do not indicate such significant differences with previous UK factors Verification analysis on HCs do not indicate major discrepancies PM exhaust? Knowledge of Euro standards is no longer sufficient Increasing variety of vehicle technologies entering the fleet Increasingly important to understand technology mix, but getting this information is difficult Emission factors for many alternative technologies are very uncertain and variable Different levels of performance in retrofits, hybrids Procurement specification key to performance A set of emission factors for most main technologies will be made available and incorporated into EFT
