Three-State Air Quality Study (3SAQS) Three-State Data Warehouse (3SDW) Emission Inventory Comparison 2008 vs 2011 vs 2018 vs 2020 University of North Carolina (UNC-IE) Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) ENVIRON International Corporation (ENVIRON) June 19, 2014
2 3SAQS Inventory Comparison Overview Objective: Compare the base and future year emission inventories for CO, UT, and WY to support the QA of the data and to inform the air quality evaluation Display the differences (what), limited analysis for why Why two different future years?

13 State Base->Future Differences (O&G methane excluded from chart) Very similar trends from base to future year, despite different starting and ending years
14 State Base->Future Differences (O&G methane excluded from chart) Very similar trends from base to future year, despite different starting and ending years
15 State Base->Future Differences (O&G methane excluded from chart) Notable differences in the trends for non-EGU point and area O&G
