The MANE-VU EGU Forecasting Meeting was held at
the Hampton Inn and Suites in the Baltimore Inner Harbor on February 15, 2005.
Background
MANE-VU is in the process of planning
the development of future year emission inventories for Regional
Haze, PM2.5 and Ozone SIPs. A critical part of forecasting emission
inventories is forecasting EGU growth and emissions. The Integrated
Planning Model (IPM) has been used by several organizations to project
EGU emissions.
Goal
The goal of the meeting was to learn from
experts about general concepts of IPM, inputs and assumptions made
in existing work, and to outline the process and technical details
to develop a plan for MANE-VU EGU projections to be utilized in
PM2.5, Ozone and Regional Haze SIPs.
Format of the meeting
The MANE-VU EGU forecasting
meeting will consist of two parts: the first part will be a fact
finding session and the second part will be a state caucus. During
the fact finding session there will be presentations on the concepts
behind IPM, different assumptions and inputs used by RPOs, EPA and/or
RGGI. During the fact finding session, there will also be an opportunity
for stakeholders to provide their inputs and comments, and states
to ask questions and voice concerns about technical details.
The second half of the meeting was closed to stakeholders
and consultants. States and MANE-VU staff planned the process
and discussed technical details for projecting EGU emissions.
