By combining the expertise of economic ,environmental <br />scientists, engineers, and utility planners, RCG/fiagler, BaiUy has developed user- ndly, PC-based <br />models to analyze issues relating to utility operation and automotive emissions. mples include: <br />^ Integration of Environmental Externalities in Utility Planning <br />The New York State Envvonmental Externalities Cost Study, athirty-i <br />review, methodology and modeling effort, addresses externality values in <br />When completed, this project will result in a comprehensive computer exi <br />for utility planners. RCG/Iiagler, Bailly staff has also conduced externs <br />Massachusetts, in other states and in other countries, and have prepared ~ <br />papers for utilities and international conferences. <br />^ Evaluations of Alternative Fuels Programs <br />One such study, conducted for the EPA and the Colorado Department <br />three-year cost effectiveness study that examined the countr}~s fast oxygenate <br />In accordance with study recommendations, alternative programs were <br />Colorado and other states. Similar studies include the development of the , <br />Emissions Reduction Model to evaluate the casts and quantity of air emissio <br />would result from cars and trucks converting to compressed natural gas or <br />fuels. <br />^ Analysis of Acid Rain Legislation Implementation Issues <br />This work has included amulti-year assignment For the EPA that provides <br />support for the Advanced Utility Simulation Model (AUSM), a model wh <br />gas emissions from utilities and forecasts revenue requirements under vt <br />scenarios, including emissions allowance trading. <br />^ Assessla~ Air Qaallty I.e;isLrtlon Issues <br />In a multi-year project for the EPA, RCG/Hagler, Bailly developed a <br />model of household automotive purchase and use. The model, along <br />vehicular technologies, analysed proposed and potential legislation for C <br />Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, gasoline taxes, fees and rebates, and of <br />incentive systems. <br />uh literature <br />lity planning. <br />alities model <br />valuations in <br />rnality issues <br />Health, was a <br />I fuels program. <br />nplemented in <br />temative Fuels <br />reductions that <br />:her alternative <br />intenance and <br />simulates acid <br />us compliance <br />itative choice <br />~ forecasts of <br />>rate Average <br />market-based <br /> <br />
