Acidic deposition: State of science and technology. Report 26. Methods for modeling future emissions and control costs. Final report

The state-of-science/technology report presents a detailed evaluation of the available models that project future emissions of acidic deposition precursors under scenarios with different energy and economic conditions and emissions-control strategies. In addition, the report illustrates the development of an integrated modeling approach to forecasting emissions and determining emissions-control costs. In addition to analyzing and assessing the applicability of individual models, the report also details the development of the Emissions and Control Cost Integrated Model Set (ECIMS). Through its various energy/economic driver modules and through its feedback linkages and its linkages and its consideration of emissions from Canada and natural sources, the ECIMS has the capability to provide detailed and realistic emission projections to the year 2000.
