MOVES 4.0 Updates for the Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC): Emission Rate Substitution Spreadsheet

This project employs the outputs from MOVES-Matrix 4.0 to generate a data set that can be employed by users of the 2018 Fuel and Emissions Calculator (Version 3.0) to update energy use and emission rates to reflect the latest outputs from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) MOVES 4.0 energy use and emission rate model for the Atlanta, GA summer scenario. The data employed in this project were generated as part of the NCST Project entitled MOVES-Matrix 4.0 for High-Performance On-road Energy Use and Emission Rate Modeling Applications (Lu, et al., 2025). As described in this report, the team queried more than 90 billion cells within full MOVES-Matrix 4.0 data set to generate MOVES 4.0 data that can be substituted for the older MOVES 2014 data in FEC Version 3.0 for Georgia. The query output data are contained in an Excel spreadsheet, allowing users to update their personal copies of the FEC. Should technology transfer funds become available in 2025 from another source, the research team will update and release the next full version of the FEC model, which will be accompanied by an updated user manual. The data employed in this project were generated as part of another NCST Project, entitled MOVES-Matrix 4.0 for High-Performance On-road Energy Use and Emission Rate Modeling Applications. The team generated a data set to update the older MOVES energy use and emission rate data in the FEC tables by querying more than 90 billion cells within MOVES-Matrix4.0. The output data are contained in an Excel spreadsheet so that users can update their current versions of the FEC. This spreadsheet is entitled “moves4 updated data for fec substitution 2025.xlw” and is provided for download in the NCST archive as an accompanying project output. User-integration of the replacement Georgia data into a copy of FEC 3.0 also allows user to run scenarios in a teaching setting that allows users to compare MOVES 4.0 case study modeling result to those generated using the older MOVES 2014 energy use and emission rates. Should technology transfer funds become available in 2025 from another source, the research team will update and release the next full version of the FEC model along with an updated user manual.
