Description

In late 2017, a group of state, regional, and federal air planning agencies initiated a collaborative process to build a national emissions modeling platform (EMP). The 2016beta EMP is first product that includes a full suite of base year (2016) and future year (2023 & 2028) inventories, ancillary emissions data, and scripts and software for preparing the emissions for air quality modeling.

A coordination workgroup, ten sector workgroups, and a modeling workgroup were staffed by state and regional air agency, and EPA OAQPS employees. The work of the sector workgroups to build 2016 base year and future year inventories is documented in a series of sector-specific specification sheets below. These specification sheets detail to origin of the inventory and ancillary data used to simulate criteria pollutant, and in many cases hazardous air pollutant, emissions for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
