TRB Webinar: Emissions Inventories Considerations for Accurate Reporting
TRB conducted a webinar on November 4, 2014, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET that presented research on strategies to reduce emissions from powered ground support equipment (GSE) and particulate matter (PM) produced during landing by tires and brakes. Webinar presenters also discussed how to measure PM emissions from auxiliary power units (APUs). As regulations become more stringent for airports to report accurate emissions inventories, new guidance and methodologies are needed for reporting emissions.
This webinar provided 1.5 Continuing Education Units for Accredited Airport Executives.
