2008 Air Emissions Inventory
Topics CAAP Initiatives Cargo throughput changes Comparison of emissions in 2008 vs Conclusion
Key Air Quality Factors Green Port Policy adopted January 2005 The 2008 emissions inventory captures impacts of CAAP measures and CARB regulations Clean Trucks Program launched October 1, 2008 CAAP Emissions Reduction Standards Target YearDPMNOxSOx Percent Reduction from 2005 Levels %22%93% %59%92%
What we’ve been working on Coordination with Port of Los Angeles and air regulatory agencies Analyzed 2008 data Validated 2008 results & compared to 2005
Cargo Activity 2005 vs Fewer vessel calls Larger vessels More cargo containers per vessel call Activity Change Vessel Calls2,6902,505-7% Containerships1,3321,273-4% TEUs6,709,8186,487,816-3% Average TEUs/Call4,8485,0965%
Changes from 2005 to 2008 Implementation of CAAP Measures Implementation of CARB regulations Improved estimation methods and data – Load factor for yard tractors – Load factor for rubber-tired gantry cranes
Comparing 2008 to 2005 Inventory = activity record + estimating methodology If methodology changed in 2008, then 2005 activity was re-estimated using 2008 methodologies Important to note: Activity for 2005 was not adjusted
Port-wide 2008 Emissions
Port-wide Emissions, ‘08 vs. ‘05 TEUs decreased 3% Decrease in all criteria pollutant emissions Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) declined 21%
GHG Emissions, 2008 vs Greenhouse Gas Emissions decreased 7% in 2008 compared to 2005
Vessel Emissions, ‘08 vs. ‘05 Reductions in PM, SOx, NOx, CO, and HC CARB auxiliary engine low-sulfur fuel regulation Increased compliance with Green Flag Program
Truck Emissions, ‘08 vs. ‘05 Clean Trucks Program began on October 1, % decrease in truck idling time Lower cargo throughput, lower VMT
Trucks by Model Year
Harbor Craft, ‘08 vs. ‘05 Increase in harbor craft activity, increase in emissions Significant reduction in SOx due to use of ULSD
Yard Equipment, ‘08 vs. ‘05 89% reduction of SOx due to use of ULSD in all diesel cargo handling equipment Newer equipment, continued use of emission reduction technologies and alternative fuels
Rail Locomotives, ‘08 vs. ‘05 Overall decrease in emissions Newer engines, use of ULSD Increase in on-dock rail throughput
Emissions per TEU, ‘08 vs. ‘05 Increased efficiency With better technology and cleaner fuels, cargo activities are producing less air pollution per unit of cargo
Summary 2008 cargo volume decreased 3% from 2005 Emission declined much more than cargo: – Particulate matter declined 21% – NOx dropped 14% – SOx decreased 18% – CO fell 7% – HC decreased 17% Greenhouse Gas emissions decreased 7%
Next Steps 2009 Emissions Inventory Continued coordination with air agencies
Looking Ahead Clean Trucks Program – Progressive Ban: January 1, 2010 Green Flag Program Technology Advancement Program Green Leases CARB Regulations
