This inventory analysis delves into the shortcomings of current emission factors databases, scrappage assumptions, and leaker inclusion weighing to improve accuracy. The report also highlights misestimations in population, equipment usage rates, and future projections, leading to inflated reduction estimates. Recommendations aim to address these issues for more precise assessments. Contact Outdoor Power Equipment Institute for detailed insights.
