The research team was not able to determine whether the diesel was strictly petroleum-based or biodiesel. Diesel that is 85% to 100% biodiesel (B85-B100) is defined as an alternative fuel under DOE EPAct guidelines and is potentially eli- gible for grant funding under FAA’s VALE Program. Therefore, note that the ratio of alternative fuels to conventional fuels (petroleum diesel and gasoline) will be understated in this table. bUnk = Unknown, unable to determine during survey.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 149: Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling provides a potential update to the current data set of default ground support equipment (GSE) fleet and activity used for passenger and cargo aircraft. The report includes a protocol to improve the accuracy and consistency of data collection for airport GSE activity compatible with the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) and the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT).
