Regional Emissions Data Base and Evaluation System (REDES): Volume 2. Regional Emissions Evaluation Data Base (REED).

摘要

A three-volume report has been prepared to document these REDES data bases and computer model. This volume documents the data base for forecasting emissions. This disaggregated forecast data base of energy use and emissions for electric utility and industrial boilers for 1985 through 2010 is called REED (Regional Emissions Evaluation Data Base). The other volumes describe the methodology of the evaluation system and user-driven menu system (Vol. 1) and document the data base that characterizes 21 generic technologies (Vol. 3). All three volumes provide the user with a complete description of REDES, which is designed to forecast the change in emissions that could result from using a particular clean coal technology. The US Department of Energy's Innovative Clean Coal Technology (ICCT) program has solicited proposals from the private sector to demonstrate innovative technologies that allow the clean use of coal as an energy source. The US Department of Energy and the ICCT Source Evaluation Board requested that Argonne National Laboratory develop two data bases and a personal-computer-based model to aid in evaluating the potential for these proposed technologies to reduce environmental residuals. Version 1.0 of the Regional Emissions Data Base and Evaluation System (REDES) is available to the public through the National Energy Software Center. 41 refs., 16 tabs. (ERA citation 14:005788)
