California’s EMFAC2000 Model Overview and Status Report
Status of California’s On-RoadEmissions Inventory Model • Objective: • Develop a seamless, integrated, internally consistent, highly resolved and flexible platform for the estimation of emissions and the relative benefits of emission control strategies • EMFAC2000 adopted by the board in May of this year pending the incorporation of staff recommended modifications • Model finalized last month
Significant Changes in Emission Factors • Model run on a UC basis • Incorporation of latest test data • Re-definition of evaporative processes • Re-evaluation of I/M • Reflection of recently adopted standards • Addition of A/C effects
Significant Changes in Emission Factors • Addition of effects of humidity • Non-linear treatment of deterioration • Revision to speed adjustment factors • Chassis based HDV inventory • Addition of Idle emission rates for HDVs • Addition of off-cycle NOx and PM • Addition of PM 2.5 emission rates
Significant Changes in Activity • Hourly activity estimates • County specific registration and accrual • Revised temperature profiles • Addition of humidity profiles • Re-examination of VMT • Extended age distribution • Class specific speed distribution
Significant Changes in Activity • Expanded technology groups • Use of “time-on” and “time-off” matrix • Expanded vehicle class definitions
Expanded Capabilities Ability to calculate: • County specific • Monthly specific • Hourly specific • Technology group specific • Age specific Emissions rates and/or inventories
What Have We Learned? • Estimation of activity is as important, or more important than estimation of emissions • Increase in inventory signifies: • Underestimation of deterioration • Overestimation of in-use program benefit • Over-optimistic assumptions related to new standards
Comparative Pass Car Inventory Evaporative Hydrocarbon (SCAB)
What’s on the Horizon? • Consistent facility and trip based emission estimates • Trip chaining (exhaust and evaporative) • Geographical information system platform • GPS information • Revisions to activity information • Grade adjustment factors • Cross county VMT • Spatial allocation of starts and soaks • Weekday / weekend activity for ozone modeling
What’s on the Horizon? • Addition of toxics • Addition of greenhouse gases (NH3/N20) • Addition of Non-fuel related evaporative emissions • More extensive use of BAR datasets • Expansion of vehicle classes and fuel types • Revisions to projected in-use emission rates • Development of “what if?” Analysis tools
