The purpose of this study is to estimate Nox emissions from small-scale diesel generators in the Houston region and assess the regional impact from these emissions on the region. In the study, ENVIRON first performs a literature search and review on population and activity data on diesel generators to compile available data and quantification methods used in Texas and other states. Based on the findings from the literature search and review task, ENVIRON then develops a methodology to estimate population and activity data of generators found in the Houston region. Some of the potential tools for the methodology include, but are not necessarily limited to, diesel generator sale information, fire department registration on diesel fuel storage requirements, building and air permit applications, and surveys based on SIC with emphasis on major users such as hospitals, office buildings, shopping complexes, and factories. The methodology could be based on a combination of these tools, and information gathered from some of these tools might be used for confirmation or validation only. From this, ENVIRON develops an improved Nox emission inventory that is consistent with the Texas SIP for generators found in the Houston region area using the newly developed population and activity data. ENVIRON also presents and compares the existing and improved emission inventories.
