【摘要】
Hydrocarbon products derived from horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing of shale of these hydrocarbons, and in 2014, made the US the world's largest natural gas and petroleum producer. The greater availability of low cost natural gas has driven the replacement of coal by natural gas in electricity generation. This presentation will examine changes in air quality that result from this substitution. Estimates of electricity generation, for individual electricity generation units, were used to estimate spatially resolved hourly emissions from electricity generation. Emissions from natural gas production activities were also estimated, with increased, emissions decreased from electricity generation and increased from natural gas production. Overall, NOX and SO2 emissions decreased, while VOC emissions increased as natural gas use I creased. To assess the effects of these changes in emissions on ozone and particulate matter concentrations, spatially and temporally resolved emissions were used in a photochemical modeling episode. Over the month – long photochemical modeling episode, particulate matter (PM) (0.1-0.7μg/m3). Changes in PM were predominatly due to changes in regional PM sulfate formation. Changes in regional PM and ozone formation are primarily due to decreases in emissions from electricity generation. Increases in emissions from increased natural gas production were offset by decreasing emissions from electricity generation for all the scenarios considered.
