• Abstract:
  This report provides information on recent efforts to use the Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) fuel-cycle model to estimate air toxics emissions. GREET, developed at Argonne National Laboratory, currently addresses greenhouse gas emissions and such regulated emissions as volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide. Because mobile sources are major contributors to air toxic inventories, GREET is being modified to account for the following important toxic pollutants: acetaldehyde, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, and formaldehyde. This study is significant because it is the first to consider fuel-cycle emissions of these pollutants for alternative transportation fuels and avanced vehicle technologies.
