Abstract:In this report, the methodology and prediction effects of the MOVES model development are reviewed and evaluated in relation to the use of ethanol fuel blends. Particular attention is placed on “mid-level” ethanol fuel blends (containing between 10 and 30% ethanol). The report includes a review of relevant information from the literature, discussion of MOVES input requirements, algorithms, and output. General findings were derived from an evaluation of the predicted emissions by evaluating the sensitivity to adjustments of individual fuel property parameters within MOVES2014. . Finally, a comparison of the differences in emissions predictions resulting from the use of “splashblended” ethanol fuel blends versus “match-blended” fuels is reported.
