Developer/Partners: EPA (2022)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): Pollutants

Intent: Help port authorities and other port operators, state and local governments, Tribes, those doing business at ports (such as terminal operators, tenants, and shipping companies), local communities, and other stakeholders who want to prepare mobile source emission inventories for regulatory, voluntary, and research purposes.

This guidance has specific information on how to develop inventories for criteria pollutants and precursors, climate-related pollutants, mobile source air toxics, and energy consumption. This guidance also describes the latest, state-of-the-science methodologies for preparing an emissions inventory in the following mobile source sectors: ocean-going vessels, harbor craft, recreational marine, cargo handling equipment, on-road vehicles, and rail.
