Overview

Detailed measurements reveal updated emission factors for natural gas and oil boilers, highlighting pollutant emissions.

Key Points

  • Emission factors were updated using real-world measurements, showing significant differences compared to EPA values.
  • Particulate matter emissions for No. 2 oil appliances were measured at 1.7 to 4.6 times lower than EPA’s 2020 values.
  • Methane emissions were found to be 3.5 times higher during transient operations in natural gas residential appliances.
  • Speciated volatile organic compounds emissions were generally lower than those in existing emission inventories.
