Development of a second-generation acid rain control strategy model for North America
The interim objective of the model is to construct control cost/emission reduction curves for each US state of the form shown in Fig. 1. These curves would be constructed so as to reflect the different fuel mix, sectoral mix, technology, and growth characteristics of each state. The curves would be assembled from more-detailed, sub-state information and model results, and would subsequently be used as input to the XMP model. In constructing the state cost curves we considered it important to use a detailed, consistent set of energy/economic forecasts for the future. The system as it now exists uses 1980 base-year information provided by the 1980 National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) inventory. Energy projections to 2010 are provided by the Fifth National Energy Policy Plan (NEPP-5) for all emitting sectors. Regional forecasts are disaggregated to the state level using consistent economic indicators.
