Abstract |
The report describes the development of an updated 1980 base year fuel consumption and air pollution emissions estimates data base by state. These 1980 base year data have been incorporated into industrial combustion emissions (ICE) model Versions 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0. The model is one of four stationary source emission and control cost forecasting models developed by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory. It projects air pollution emissions (SO2, sulfates, NOx, and particulate matter), costs, and fuel mix for industrial fossil-fuel-fired (natural gas, distillate and residual fuel oil, and coal) boilers by state and year (1980 baseline, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2010, 2020, and 2030). Model Version 6.0 is available for remote terminal access and operation at EPA's National Computer Center. |
