Topic: Air emissions reductions strategy
Website that provides access to information on local government strategies to reduce emissions of air pollution. Includes information for mobile sources, area, non-road, and stationary sources. Includes model ordinances and policies.
This is a report that provides information on funding and financing approaches that are potentially applicable at state and city levels. It highlights opportunities to leverage public and private financial resources. The report was developed for EU cities, but many of the examples and cases are applicable to U.S. cities.
Website providing information on the Charlotte Grants to Replace Aging Diesel Engines program, which is designed to reduce NOx emissions from heavy duty non-road equipment.
Website providing links to reports on several different diesel emissions reduction programs.
Searchable database of enforcement information that includes data on specific facilities with violations, enforcement actions, and penalties. Provides very detailed information about violating facilities as well as information on the communities near the facility.
The Control Strategy Tool (CoST), developed in 2008, is part of EPA's Emissions Modeling Framework (EMF). CoST is used to estimate emissions reductions and engineering costs associated with control strategies applied to point and area sources of air pollutant emissions to support the analyses of air pollution policies and regulations.
EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a state-of-the-science emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics, available under EPA's Open Source Software policy.
SMOKE is primarily an emissions processing system designed to create gridded, speciated, hourly emissions for input into a variety of air quality models such as CMAQ, REMSAD, CAMX and UAM. SMOKE supports area, biogenic, mobile (both onroad and nonroad), and point source emissions processing for criteria, particulate, and toxic pollutants. For biogenic emissions modeling, SMOKE uses the Biogenic Emission Inventory System. SMOKE is also integrated with the on-road emissions model MOVES.
The EDF Turbine Map is an advocacy-focused geospatial tool developed by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in partnership with Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres. It is designed to expose the environmental and health impacts of gas-fired combustion turbines across the United States.
This is a collection of air pollution control technology fact sheets, technical bulletins, and a limited number of software tools. The reports and fact sheets were mostly developed in the 1990's and early 2000's. They cover a wide range of sources and pollutants.
