Conservation Tip

Conserving energy protects air quality and offers many environmental and economic benefits. By saving energy and reducing our “energy intensity” (the amount of energy needed to produce a given economic output), we can protect the environment without sacrificing economic growth and our quality of life. California can gain jobs and prosper by leading the way to develop and implement energy-efficient technologies.

Emission Inventory

5/15/2013

An emission inventory is an itemized list of emission estimates for sources of air pollution in a given area for a specified time period. Present and future year inventories are critical components of air quality planning and modeling. The ultimate goal of the planning process is to identify and achieve emission patterns that do not result in violations of ambient air quality standards.

Emissions are calculated by BAAQMD staff using various procedures. Emission computation methodology by source category is outlined in the BAAQMD publication, "Source Category Methodologies." The BAAQMD participates in the California Emission Inventory Technical Advisory Committee (EITAC) and maintains the best available inventory methodologies.

The emission inventory is divided into stationary, mobile, and biogenic sources.

For the most up-to-date emissions inventory compiled for the Bay Area Particulate Matter State Implementation Plan (SIP) please refer to "Understanding Particulate Matter: Protecting Public Health in the San Francisco Bay Area" November 2012.  See Pages 81-99 and Appendix A Pages 158-160.
