Modeling Emissions and Ozone Air Quality Impacts of Future Scenarios for Energy and Power Production in the Rocky Mountain States.

This study examines air quality impacts of scenarios for energy production and use in 2030 across Colorado, northern New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Scenarios feature contrasting levels of oil and gas production and shares of electricity from coal, natural gas, and renewables. Hourly emissions are resolved for individual power plants; oil and gas emissions are basin-specific.
