Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

B-1 Emission Factors For an individual piece of GSE (with the exception of electric GSE), the amount of engine exhaust emissions of the criteria air pollutants (and their precursors), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and greenhouse gases (GHGs) is largely dependent on the size of the engine [typically expressed in brake horsepower (BHP)], the fuel type (e.g., diesel, gas), the engine on/run time, and load factor. [Load factors are values that represent the ratio of the average energy demand of the equipment (the load) to the maximum (peak load) of the equipment.] The following materials present standard methodologies for computing these emissions from the operation/use of GSE. Criteria Air Pollutant Emissions The FAA’s Air Quality Handbook provides the following equations for conventional/alternative- fuel GSE and for electric GSE. Conventional/Alternative-Fuel GSE E BHP LF U EI CFit t t t it= × × ×( ) × Where: Eit = Emissions of pollutant i, in pounds, produced by GSE type t BHPt = Average rated BHP of the engine for equipment type t LFt = Load factor for equipment type t Ut = Hours of equipment use EIit = Emission index (factor) for pollutant i in grams per BHP-hr i = Pollutant of interest (e.g., carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds) t = Equipment type (e.g., baggage tug) CF = Factor to convert grams to pounds (0.0022046) Electric GSE Electric GSE do not produce emissions at airports. Rather, the emissions resulting from the use of electricity are those from the local or regional power plant. The emissions from the power plant that would be attributable to the use of electric GSE at an airport can be calculated as follows: E BHP LF U EI CFBHP CFit t t t it= × × × ×( ) A p p e n d i x B Air Pollutant Emission Factors for GSE

B-2 Airport Ground Support equipment (GSe): emission Reduction Strategies, inventory, and Tutorial Organic Gases/HAPs In 2009, the FAA published guidance that provides a method for estimating emissions of organic gases (which include HAPs) from airport sources. The guidance document, entitled Guidance for Quantifying Speciated Organic Gas Emissions from Airport Sources, provides a detailed discussion of the various groups of organic gases [i.e., total organic gases (TOG), non-methane organic gases (NMOG), total hydrocarbons (THC), and volatile organic compounds (VOC)] that must be considered when estimating this type of emission. The FAA’s method of preparing an estimate of organic gases/HAPs essentially involves the following steps: • Prepare an estimate of GSE-related TOG, NMOG, THC, or VOC • If necessary, use conversion factors to convert estimates of NMOG, THC, or VOC to TOG • Apply speciation profiles, in the form of mass fractions, to the TOG to estimate quantities of individual organic gases. The individual organic gases/HAPs that are identified by the FAA as being of interest and emitted by GSE that are powered by gas, natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, and diesel are listed in Table B-1. These gases listed are either specially identified by the U.S. EPA to be a HAP or listed in U.S. EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). The FAA’s formula to speciate GSE-related TOG emissions to obtain estimates of the individual organic gases above is expressed as: L M B D F H 1 60 I× × × × × × × =1 453 6. Where: L = Average rated BHP M = Load factor (percentage) B = Time in operation (min) D = OG emissions index (grams/BHP-hr) F = TOG conversion factor (unitless) Identified in: Fuel Type Chemical Abstract Service No. Species Name Clean Air Act as HAP?

Organic gases/HAPs emitted by GSE.

Air pollutant emission Factors for GSe B-3 H = Speciation profile for individual OG of interest (mass fraction) I = Mass of OG of interest (pounds) 1/453.6 = grams to pounds conversion factor 1/60 = minutes to hour conversion factor Greenhouse Gases The U.S. EPA’s method of estimating GHGs from GSE is similar to the approach recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which is based on the total amount of fossil fuel consumed (combusted) for any given process/equipment use. Because each individual GHG has a different Global Warming Potential (GWP), emission estimates are typically expressed as carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents (CO2e). Use of CO2e values allows direct comparisons between sources and time periods. To determine Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) emissions factors for CO2, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), the fuel consumption of a specific piece of GSE must first be computed according to the following formula: F FF L M B Dt t t t t t= × × × × ×1 453 6 1. Where: Ft = Gallons (or ft 3 for CNG) of fuel consumed by equipment t FFt = EDMS fuel flow rate for equipment t (in grams per horsepower-hour [g/hp-hr]) Lt = Rate BHP for equipment t Mt = Load factor (percentage) for equipment t Bt = Hours of operation for equipment t (= 1) 1/453.6 = grams to pounds conversion factor Dt = fuel density for equipment t (in pounds of fuel per gallon or cubic foot consumed) 3 Once the fuel consumption has been calculated, full-throttle GHG emissions factors for the equipment can be obtained as a function of fuel-specific emissions factors supplied by the U.S. Energy Information Administration4 applied to the derived fuel consumption, as well as the equipment’s specific engine parameters, as indicated in the formula below: EF F EF L M Bit t i t t t= × × × × ×453 6 1 1 1. Where: EFit = Emissions of pollutant i (in pounds) produced by GSE type t Ft = Gallons (or ft 3 for CNG) of fuel consumed by equipment t EFi = Emissions factor for GHGi [in pounds of pollutant per gallon (or ft 3) of fuel] 453.6 = pounds to grams conversion factor Lt = Rate BHP for equipment t Mt = Load factor (percentage) for equipment t Bt = Hours of operation for equipment t (= 1) 3Fuel densities adapted from the U.S. EPA Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors (AP-42) and correspond to 7.1 lb/gal for diesel, 6.2 lb/gal for gasoline, 4.24 lb/gal for LPG, and 0.042 lb/ft3 for CNG. 4U.S. Energy Information Administration—Independent Statistics and Analysis Voluntary Reporting of Green- house Gases Program—Fuel Emission Coefficients, accessed at http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/coefficients. html 1/31/2011.

B-4 Airport Ground Support equipment (GSe): emission Reduction Strategies, inventory, and Tutorial As mentioned, individual GHG emissions factors can be normalized to CO2e by applying 100-year time horizon GWPs as recommended by the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report. These GWPs correspond to 1 for CO2, 25 for CH4 and 298 for N2O. Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System A list of GSE with corresponding data that were extracted from the FAA’s EDMS for the model’s current reference equipment (i.e., the equipment for which the emissions data in EDMS are representative) is provided in Table B-2. For the purpose of comparing the emission factors of various fuel types for the same type of GSE, emission factors, extracted from the EDMS for the year 2011 are also provided in Table B-2. This list further provides, by equipment/fuel type, the FAA’s speciation profiles for the calculation of organic gases/HAPs, and calculated emission factors for GHGs (CO2, CH4, and N2O—the most prevalent GHGs).

The following speciation factors can then be applied to estimate the diesel powered GSE air organic gas/HAPs emissions: 0.0861 Formaldehyde; 0.0291 for acetaldehyde; 0.0177 propionaldehyde; and 0.0055 benzaldehyde. Alternatively, the following speciation factors can be applied to TOG to estimate the organic gas/HAPs emissions from gasoline, CNG or LPG powered GSE: 0..0175 benzene; 0.0091 0-xylene; 0.0067 ethylbenzene; 0.0186 m-xylene; 0.0298 toluene; 0.0153 n-hexane; 0.015 2.2.4-trimethylpentane; and 0.0073 n-heptane. e Blank rows represent equi pm ent for which EDMS does not currently report em ission factors. f EDMS does not directly provide GHG em issions factors nor does it directly co m pute GHG em issions fr om GSE. The factors were de v eloped using me thodology outlined in ACRP Report 11, and based on calculated fuel usage using EDMS para me ters (for whic h fuel flow rates are available) and fuel-based em issions fa c tors available through the U.S. Energy Inform ation Administration.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 78: Airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE): Emission Reduction Strategies, Inventory, and Tutorial is designed to help assess and mitigate the contribution of ground support equipment (GSE) to air quality impacts at airports.

The report presents an inventory of GSE at airports, identifies potential strategies to reduce emissions from powered GSE, and provides a tutorial that describes GSE operations and emission reduction technologies for use by GSE owners and operators.

The tutorial is a user-friendly, interactive, self-paced, stand-alone tool that is designed to provide a better understanding of GSE, its operations, applicable federal environmental regulations, and potential approaches to reduce GSE emissions.

The tutorial is structured in three modules: GSE Basics, Emissions Reduction Approaches and Case Studies, and Converting to Cleaner GSE. The tutorial is on a CD-ROM that is included with the print version the report.

The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image. Links to the ISO image and instructions for burning a CD-ROM from an ISO image are provided below.
