What is PEIT?
1 Port Emissions Inventory Tool (PEIT) V4.0
• consistent emissions estimation tool
for all port-related sources
• MS ACCESS database
• follows a set of established ‘rules’,
Similar, but more prescriptive than US
EPA guidance
• greatly simplifies data collection (the
terminal ‘Questionnaire’)
• CACs, GHGs, HAPs
• no similar tool exists

1 global online PEIT: what is goPEIT?
• Transport Canada has licensed PEIT
for use by others (Green Marine,
ICCT)
• ICCT has developed a web-based
version (‘global online’ PEIT)
• Same structure as PEIT but data via
web entry

2. Developmental path
First developed for Transport
Canada in 2008
Based on a Port Vancouver
prototype used for their
2005 inventory
Applied to develop a nation-
wide port baseline for
2010 energy/emissions
Further applications
• Port of Prince Rupert
inventories 2011-2015
• Product movement
footprint assessment
• Terminal developments
across Canada
• Airshed studies

2. Developmental path
Included datasets for emissions calculations:
• Internationally sourced set of ocean going vessel emission rates (IMO)
• US EPA Smartway tug emission rates
• US EPA rail locomotive fuel and emission rates by tier
• US EPA MOVES onroad emission rates by vehicle type and speed
• US EPA NONROAD cargo handling equipment (CHE) emission rates by equipment
type and tier

•2010 baseline for Canada; East
Coast/Great Lakes and West
Coast (18 ports)
•Terminal data kept confidential
•Forecasts based on commodity
projections and expected
equipment turnover

2010 Container Handling Intensities for EC/GL Ports
Weighted Average
Minimum and Maximum
•2010 Dataset allows
specific metrics to be
identified
•Performance
benchmarks identified
for key commodities
4. Challenges
Tenant participation
• Why should tenants provide the necessary data?
• Potential errors in data submission (garbage in = garbage out)
• Defaults for data gaps
Updates of PEIT model
• Emission rates
New emissions data – MOVES, IMO 3rd GHG study, other
• Source characterization (e.g., vessel profiles)
Improved information from large port studies such as LA/LB
• Step changes such as Emissions Control Area (ECA)
• New contaminants of interest
Black carbon
11
4. Challenges (applications outside of
Canada)Local settings
• State rail provider details
• Energy characteristics (electricity,
fuels)
• Equipment retrofits
Case study
• Port of New Orleans
Document steps taken to
collect/use local data
Develop case study appendix for
